Link – Sep. 25 – Live Through This: Using True Stories to Help Stop Suicide

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

This seems like it could be an interesting webinar for some of my readers, so I’m sharing it:

“Join Dese’Rae L. Stage, photographer, writer, suicide awareness activist, and the creator behind the groundbreaking project Live Through This in a free one-hour Webinar to discuss the many faces of suicide, in order to decrease stigma and promote healing. Desa’Rae’s work takes true stories of suicide attempt survivors out of the shadows in a mission to show those struggling that they are not alone and that there is hope and reason to stay alive.”

Since it is scheduled in the middle of the work day for me, I probably will not attend live, but may try and catch the archive at some point. If you end up on the live stream, come back and let us know your thoughts.

“A deeply held shame is often the water we swim in. It’s an elusive, privately-held feeling that we don’t like to acknowledge — a nagging sense that something is amiss, that we’re basically flawed, defective, unworthy, and less valuable than others.
