All too often tragedy strikes. Too often a person, racked by different emotions and for different reasons, raises his hand against his own life. It is always a tragedy. And all the more so because a committed suicide is also a trauma for other people - for family, friends, direct witnesses to the event. A person dies and those associated with him or her fade away. This is a very important social problem affecting many families in Poland. 10 September was World Suicide Prevention Day - an extremely important event for public debate.
