There is a need for a World Suicide Prevention Day (https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-suicide-prevention-day/2023) each year on September 10. For some it may seem morbid, while for others it is just another awareness initiative. But for too many, suicide is personal. You may have lost someone you love in this manner.
Lake County communities this week came together to honor those lost to suicide and to recognize continuing strides taken to fight the social stigma of mental illness.
