Suicide in Lebanon…

Yesterday in Beirut, the American University of Beirut launched a National Suicide Awareness Campaign organized by the Department of Psychiatry and the Embrace Fund. One person commits suicide in Lebanon every three days. Today in Lebanon, Lebanese drift champion Jad Himo reportedly committed suicide on the Beirut-Metn Highway. To raise awareness about suicide prevention, there will be a march in Beirut on September 21st at 5 a.m. called “Into the Dawn” from the Beit Ward Restaurant near the Movenpick to the Raouche rocks.
