Toilet paper to prevent suicide

Japan is often a forerunner in many areas and this time… it is in the area of toilet paper.

Yes, toilet paper to prevent suicide among Japanese youth.

On the paper in question, there are messages for suicide prevention, an initiative that was created by some universities in the Yamanashi prefecture.

The writings encourage young people to confide in each other when things are not going well.

This message is the creation of a mental health specialist, as are the soothing drawings on it.

One person responsible for this project said that being alone in a toilet could cause anxious thoughts.

A total of 12 universities shared 6000 rolls.

It should be remembered that since the arrival of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, the suicide rate has jumped in Japan and several other countries.
