Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. 💛🏳️🌈
A reminder to check in on the people around you, not just today, but always. Sometimes the smallest gesture, a text, a call, a simple “how are you, really?” can mean more than we know.
This matters especially for LGBTQ+ people, who face disproportionately higher rates of suicidal ideation due to stigma, discrimination, and lack of support.
