It's important to have conversations around suicide because:

• Breaking the stigma: Talking openly about suicide can help reduce the stigma surrounding it, making it easier for people to seek help.

• Identifying those at risk: Open conversations can help identify individuals who may be struggling with suicidal thoughts and provide them with the support they need.

• Providing support: Talking about suicide can offer a sense of support and understanding to those who are struggling.

• Promoting prevention: By understanding the factors that contribute to suicide, we can develop more effective prevention strategies..
