On September 10 , the whole world celebrates World Suicide Prevention Day. From deliberate damage with a fatal (suicide) per year, a little less than 1 million people die. In order to attract the attention of the entire world community, on the proposal of the International Association for Suicide Prevention and with the assistance of the United Nations and WHO in 2003, a day was created to prevent suicide.
In the risk of suicide are elderly men and adolescents under the age of 19, both in developed and developing countries of the world. Causes of suicide can be different - from banal depression to drug and alcohol use. Obviously, too little attention is paid to this problem due to lack of awareness. The solution of this task is quite a long process and covers not only the health sector. It is necessary to develop a whole range of measures at the state level.
School events on the day of suicide prevention
It is important not to be silent about the problem, to prepare the most detailed presentation about the problem of suicide and to conduct an open lesson.
The main task of teachers is to timely identify students with personality disorders of the psyche and the recognition of intentions for suicide. To prevent suicide in adolescents in school institutions, so-called suicide prevention must be conducted. The task of parents and teachers:
- sympathize and try to understand the student;
- conduct behavior monitoring and evaluate relationships with peers;
- inspire students with optimism and hope in their abilities;
- play games "Compliments", "Smile", "We are for life";
- inform the "helpline" about anonymous psychological help.
Fighting suicide is a priority problem in the field of protecting psychological health of a person under the WHO program, whenever possible, every indifferent person should help the needy.
