World Suicide Prevention Day: Changing the Narrative
On World Suicide Prevention Day, the theme Change the Narrative feels deeply personal. I’ve walked through depression myself and lost loved ones to suicide. Changing the narrative here means modeling humanity in the midst of humanitarian work: naming depression, burnout, and despair as real…and treatable. It means creating cultures where people can ask for help without fear that their credibility, role, or future will be put at risk.
"Changing the narrative means replacing silence with empathy, and shame with connection."
