Caritas Macau Secretary-General Paul Pun Chi Meng said yesterday that people should accept their negative emotions and find a way to overcome them, in order to prevent possible suicide.
Pun made the comments during a launch ceremony for activities to mark the World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) on September 10 organised by Caritas’ Hoi Fai Life Education and Resources Centre, in Fai Chi Kei district.
The International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organisation (WHO) have been organising WSPD annually since 2003 to raise awareness of suicide prevention.
