Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide. That’s nearly 800,000 people a year. In order to spread awareness of these startling facts, The World Health Organization has launched a 40 Seconds of Action campaign. I’ve had the honor to be invited to Geneva to launch the campaign. Join me by preparing to take 40 seconds of action, in whatever way makes most sense to you: post a selfie, make a short video, speak privately with a friend or professional or join me for the #ChangeDirection Jam on World Mental Health Day. Take action & join the global community on October 10th by posting using #40seconds and by joining the Jam!
