Every year on September 10th, the World Health Organization designates it as World Suicide Prevention Day. This important day serves as a global reminder that suicide is preventable, and it encourages individuals and communities worldwide to take action in support of those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Befrienders Worldwide, a renowned organization committed to preventing suicide, plays a pivotal role in organizing numerous events across the globe to spread this critical message. Their mission revolves around creating hope through action, which aligns perfectly with this year's theme.
Maithri, an affiliate of Befrienders Worldwide, joins hands in organizing events to promote this vital cause. Their approach emphasizes the power of empathetic and active listening. They recognize that often, what people in crisis need most is someone who will listen without judgment or offering unsolicited advice. This simple act can help heal the burning minds of those in distress and guide them back to a path of normalcy.
One core principle upheld in these efforts is confidentiality. It's a cornerstone of providing support to individuals who are struggling. Knowing that their words and feelings are kept confidential can encourage individuals to open up and seek the help they need without fear of stigma or breach of trust.
As we observe World Suicide Prevention Day, let us remember that creating hope through action can make a world of difference. By reaching out, listening empathetically, and upholding confidentiality, we can collectively contribute to preventing suicide and supporting those in crisis on their journey towards a brighter future. Together, we can be a beacon of hope in the lives of those who need it most.
Have you experienced the relief when you let out your anger on somebody who did not do anything wrong to you.
Anger is an emotion, same as sorrow, helplessness, hurt etc. Please let it out, your world will be beautiful.
Maithri is the place to mange your emotion.
Thanks to Maithri.
