On the occasion of World Suicide Prevention Day \u2013 September 10, 2025, the Kurdish Red Crescent launched a 9-day awareness campaign in its mental health support centers, under the slogan “Changing Attitudes Towards Suicide,” aiming to break the stigma surrounding this sensitive issue, correct misconceptions, and enhance access to mental and social support services. The campaign was implemented in the Hasakah centers (Al-Shaddadi, Al-Hol, Ashokani, and Tal Tamer), the Qamishli center (Maabada), and the Deir ez-Zor center (Abu Khashab). It included individual and group awareness sessions, distribution of educational materials, informative exhibitions, and sharing real-life stories of people who survived suicide attempts to instill hope. A total of 348 direct beneficiaries, including 56 men and 292 women, participated. They expressed their gratitude for the sessions, which helped them understand suicide as a psychological phenomenon linked to isolation and stress, and taught them how to seek help and offer support to others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
