The state capital of Wiesbaden is actively participating in the nationwide action day for World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th. This day aims to raise awareness about suicide and promote mental health and social participation.
Sadly, suicide is one of the leading causes of death in many age groups, particularly among young people. In 2023, over 10,000 people died by suicide in Germany, equating to approximately 28 people daily. Many individuals who die by suicide had not received a secure diagnosis before, help was offered too late, or access barriers were too high.
To counteract this, the Social Psychiatric Service and the Coordination of Community Psychiatry at the Health Department of Wiesbaden offer alternative support services for people aged 18 and over. These services include counseling, crisis intervention, social support, and assistance with psychiatric care integration. However, specific program details for Wiesbaden are not provided in the available search results.
Education about suicide can lower the barrier to seeking help. Resources such as templates for visible signs can be found at www.stille-stunde.com. Anyone can set a visible sign for suicide prevention using the hashtag #YouAreNotAlone on social media, at the window, or on their car.
Numerous self-help groups offer specific services for those affected and their relatives dealing with mental challenges. Interested individuals can contact the self-help contact point of the Wiesbaden Health Department at Phone (0611) 313777 or through the health promotion website.
For those seeking professional help, the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the HELIOS Dr. Horst Schmidt Clinics can be reached at Ludwig-Erhard-Straße 100, 65199 Wiesbaden. The clinic is reachable seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
For any questions related to the city's suicide prevention efforts, citizens can contact the Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden.
In these challenging times, it is crucial to remember that help is always available, and no one should feel alone in their struggles.
