World Suicide
Prevention Day 2026
#One Change for Zero
What’s one thing you’d like to change to help prevent child and adolescent suicide?
Every year, more than 10,000 children and adolescents under the age of 18 die by suicide in India. Preventing these deaths requires more than awareness. It requires us to look at what needs to change across families, schools, communities, institutions and social systems.
This World Suicide Prevention Day, 10K2ZERO is asking you one question.
Why ONE CHANGE?
Child and adolescent suicide is a complex public health issue. There is no single cause and there cannot be a single solution. Change could begin anywhere:
- In how we listen to young people.
- In how schools respond to distress.
- In how families communicate.
- In how we address bullying and discrimination.
- In how digital platforms protect young people.
- In how mental health support is provided.
- In how policies and systems respond.
Your ONE CHANGE can help us understand what people across different communities believe needs greater attention.
