BUT no way is there the public support for mental illness awareness. Nothing like the cancer causes. It's deplorable. Frustrating as hell.

World Suicide Prevention Day is held 10th Sept every Year.
In Australia we致e always had an 然 U Ok? Day on the 13th Sept.
In Australia we also have a mental awareness week in Oct.
That being said there痴 not enough public support.
