Mission Statement

The International Association for Suicide Prevention is dedicated to preventing suicide and suicidal behaviour and to alleviate its effects. IASP leads the global role in suicide prevention by strategically developing an effective forum that is proactive in creating strong collaborative partnerships and promoting evidence-based action in order to reduce the incidence of suicide and suicidal behaviour.

About This Cause

An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world each year and that almost 77% of all suicides occure in low and middle income countries. For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide. Suicidal behaviour profoundly impacts families and communities and remains a universal challenge with millions impacted. Millions of people suffer intense grief or are otherwise profoundly impacted by suicidal behaviours. The reduction of deaths by suicide is of global importance and a vital public health consideration.
