Brazil created the Yellow September campaign in 2015, a suicide prevention initiative. The initiative comes from the Center for Life Appreciation (CVV), the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM), and the Brazilian Association of Psychiatry (ABP). The month of September was chosen because, since 2003, September 10th has been World Suicide Prevention Day. The goal is to promote events that provide space for discussions about suicide and to publicize the topic, alerting the population to the importance of discussing it. During the campaign month, it is common for public places to be illuminated in yellow.<\/span><\/p>\n
