In recognition of World Su***de Prevention Day, the Ministry of Health & Wellness, Department of Public Health, Mental Health Programming Unit, and Bahamas Psychological Association invite you to join us for a Candlelight Vigil.

📅 Thursday, 10th September, 2026
🕖 7:00 p.m.
📍 Rawson Square
🟠 Please wear orange

We will gather to remember those we have lost to su***de, support the people who continue to carry their memory, and stand with those who may be struggling to find a way forward.

Each candle is a reminder that every life matters.

Let’s come together as a community, because no one should have to carry grief or struggle alone.
