On average, one person loses their life to suicide every 2.1 days, and one person attempts suicide every 6 hours in Lebanon. The topic of suicide remains a taboo, preventing hundreds from reaching out for support. Because talking saves lives, the National Lifeline is a preventive tool that offers an anonymous service for anyone who is in emotional distress or thinking of suicide.
