3083: MBS: World Suicide Prevention Day - Every Life Matters

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, a day that unites the world in raising awareness, breaking the silence around mental health, and reminding us that every single life is precious.

Here in South Sudan, suicide cases are still being reported across different communities, making this observance not just symbolic but urgent. It’s a chance for us to reflect and to ask: Why is this day so important? What are the root causes of suicide? And most importantly, what steps can we take, as families, communities, and a nation, to prevent it?

To help us explore these critical questions, we’re joined in the studio by two guests from the South Sudan Mental Health Society, Rose Yobu Marle and Benoni Mawa Charles.
