Suicide prevention: Help and advice for those affected in Karlsruhe!
On June 12, 2025, the Badische Neuesten Nachrichten reported on the current situation in Pforzheim, where the route between Mühlacker and Illingen was closed for several hours. This closure requires particular attention as it affects local infrastructure and road safety, which has a significant impact on local residents and commuters. However, details of the background to this situation were not further explained.
In a broader context, the sensitive topic of suicide prevention is also addressed. The Badische Neuesten Nachrichten does not report on suicides in order to prevent imitations. This approach is considered necessary to inform society responsibly about suicide without encouraging the risk of imitation.
Resources for those affected
In Germany there are numerous contact points for people with suicidal thoughts. There are a total of 104 pastoral care centers that offer anonymous advice. The Badische Neuesten Nachrichten also highlights the free numbers 0800 1110111 and 0800 1110222, which can be reached every day. In addition, the Karlsruhe Life Working Group can offer support on 0721 811424.
An important initiative in suicide prevention is the National Suicide Prevention Program for Germany (NaSPro). This nationwide specialist network promotes the exchange and transfer of knowledge about suicide, suicidality and prevention. Supported by over 90 institutions, the network aims to raise awareness and activate society about the issue.
Community engagement
NaSPro was founded in 2001 in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Health and WHO Europe. It follows the credo: “Connect. Inform. Activate”. Suicidality is considered a problem for society as a whole, which is why the cooperation of many actors is of great importance for sustainable and successful prevention work. The scientific basis of the program brings together the knowledge and experiences of experts and makes them available to the public.
At a time when mental health is increasingly becoming a focus, it is important to provide information about the help available in society and to actively promote awareness of suicide prevention. The combination of responsible reporting and preventive measures is crucial to providing those affected with the support they need.
