It is important to think about when writing and sharing about tragic events on social media.
Paarisa urges this, writes the Ministry for Children, Youth and Families in a press release.
Great public attention to tragic events can affect many people, especially young people and people in vulnerable situations.
Paarisa emphasizes the importance of referring to help and support.
- It is crucial that we as a society stand together and take responsibility for how we talk about and share information, we must think carefully about the content. Words and images can have a great impact – especially when many people are already affected.
- At the same time, I would like to encourage everyone who is having a hard time to reach out and seek help. There is support, and you should not be alone, says naalakkersuisoq for children, youth, the justice sector and equality, Mariane Paviasen Jensen (IA).
Talk to friends or Tusaannga
In the coming period, Paarisa will provide information on where you can turn for help, as well as share specific advice on how to provide your own care.
You can talk to your friends, family or acquaintances, otherwise you can contact Tusaannga, which is open 24 hours a day.
Paarisa encourages everyone to show consideration and care – both online and socially.
If you are in crisis or have thoughts of suicide, it is important that you talk to someone.
In 2025, the suicide rate in Greenland was the highest in eight years. This was shown by the National Medical Board's annual report on suicide 2025.
