Suicides take a high toll. Over 800 000 people die by suicide every year and it is the second leading cause of
death in 15-29-year-olds. Most suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries where resources
and services, if they do exist, are often scarce and limited for early identification, treatment and support of
people in need. These striking facts and the lack of implemented timely interventions make suicide a serious
global public health problem that needs to be tackled urgently.

Le suicide est évitable. Pourtant, toutes les 40 secondes, une personne se suicide quelque part dans le monde et bien plus tentent de mettre fin à leurs jours. Aucune région ni aucune tranche d’âge n’est épargnée. Il touche toutefois particulièrement les jeunes de 15 à 29 ans, chez qui il constitue la deuxième cause de mortalité à l’échelle mondiale
