Mental health concerns, especially suicidal thoughts, require urgent attention. Each year, more than 800,000 people worldwide die by suicide, and many more attempt suicide. In Vietnam, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the suicide rate in 2021 was 7.3 per 100,000 people. Although this figure is lower than in some neighboring countries, evidence shows that the rate is increasing. Therefore, SSVN calls on all of us to take immediate action to address this issue. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Why is suicide prevention crucial?<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Survival Skills Vietnam (SSVN)<\/strong>,<\/a> our mission is to reduce preventable deaths and injuries in Vietnam through community education and life-saving skills training. When it comes to saving lives, people often picture surgeons performing an operation or firefighters rescuing someone from a burning building. However, saving a life does not always require medical equipment or professional training. Sometimes, it simply begins with a sincere conversation<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SSVN organizes mental health first aid workshops<\/strong>, providing knowledge and tools that empower ordinary people to respond with confidence when facing emotional crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Vietnam, mental health remains a highly sensitive topic, leaving many people to suffer in silence<\/strong>, unsure of how to seek help or support others. This is the reason why SSVN\u2019s mental health first aid knowledge and skills are so crucial. They enable individuals to recognize signs of crisis, intervene effectively, and reduce harm before it is too late.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
