Overview
In parallel with World Suicide Prevention Day, which was recognized on September 10, Mauser Packaging Solutions is raising awareness of suicide and promoting action through means proven to reduce the number of suicides and suicide attempts globally.
One in every 100 deaths worldwide is the result of suicide. It can affect every one of us. Each suicide is devastating and has a profound impact on those around them. However, by raising awareness, reducing the stigma around suicide and encouraging well-informed action, we can reduce instances of suicide.
The factors and causes that lead to suicide are complex. No single approach works for everyone. What we do know is that there are certain factors and life events that may make someone more vulnerable to suicide and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression can also be a contributing factor. People who are suicidal may feel trapped or like a burden to their friends, family and those around them and thus feel like they are alone and have no other options.
