#DYK In May 2013,the 66th World Health Assembly adopted
the first-ever Mental Health Action Plan of the @WHO with the goal of reducing the rate of suicide by 10% by 2020? It's 30 mins to go for today's #PeaceTuesday conversation on “Suicide Prevention - Tackling the Taboo

If somebody you were mad at died today or tomorrow, you’d regret not reconciling with them and live in regret for the rest of your life. say you love them while they’re here. give people their flowers and adornment while they’re alive

Free independent and pluralistic media provide a platform for debate and different opinions, while on the other hand, media can be misused for propaganda purposes, to incite hatred and spread rumours that end up creating tensions #PeaceTuesday
#DYK that government could use media to help defuse crisis, as the Kennedy administration did during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
It’s 30 mins to go for today's #PeaceTuesday conversation as we discuss “Role of Media in Promoting Peace”
