Every year, millions of people worldwide commit suicide and millions more attempt it. Each and every suicide is devastating and has a profound impact on those around them. World Suicide Prevention Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of suicide and to promote action to reduce the number of suicides and suicide attempts globally.
The following resources — available through our global GuidanceResources Employee Assistance Program (EAP) — can help you understand and become more aware of suicide and the mental health issues surrounding it:

- Important facts about teen depression and suicide risk
- A video that covers the basics about counseling for those who are new to counseling
- On-demand training to help you manage stress
- Training for anyone struggling to manage emotions
