Reporter at The Times of Israel
The Health Ministry launches its first-ever suicide prevention campaign, on World Suicide Prevention Day which is being marked today.
The campaign, targeting men, has been in the works since early 2023.
According to the ministry’s data, 78% of all people who die by suicide in Israel each year are men, a number that aligns with World Health Organization (WHO) global reports.
The campaign encourages men to talk about their distress, and explains to friends and family how to identify warning signs and talk openly about suicide.
