September 10 – World Suicide Prevention Day

Each year, more than 720,000 people worldwide take their own lives. Suicide is a tragic outcome of many factors—health, social, family, or economic—but most importantly, it can be prevented. 

At the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School, we address this issue through the project Suicidology – State of Knowledge Analysis and Educational Campaign. 

  • We have created the portal suicydologia.sgmk.edu.pl, where you can find reliable information, educational materials, and support. 
  • Our experts conduct workshops that teach how to recognize the warning signs of suicide and how to respond appropriately. 
  • We produce the podcast “I’m Still Here” to speak openly about the fact that every voice and every story matters. 

Remember—you are not alone. A conversation can save a life. 

If you are experiencing a crisis, you can call the emergency number 112 or the 24-hour helpline 800 702 222. 

More contacts for specialists can be found at: https://suicydologia.sgmk.edu.pl/pomoc/. 

Do not be afraid to talk about difficult emotions. Together, we can break the taboo and save lives. 

“Suicidology” project – a multi-phase educational and research campaign

Since 2024, Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School has been implementing the project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign” funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The project aims to raise awareness of the problem of suicide and prepare a wide-ranging educational campaign. The initiative involves research at various levels of society, including educational, professional and medical communities. The collected data will be used to create personalized prevention strategies aimed at supporting people in crisis, as well as preventing critical situations.   

The project is funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. You can follow the progress of the work on the project’s dedicated website: www.sgmk.edu.pl/suicidology, where we publish updates on a regular basis. The site also includes an interactive map of workshops conducted under the project.
