Sadie Penn is a survivor of suicide that gave a brave ted talk on youth suicide prevention, and all of us at EmBark help a virtual viewing of this together. If you couldn't join us, I urge you to watch the short 15 minute talk and listen to her story.
My biggest takeaway?
"In 81% of suicides, the person tells someone else where and what they are going to do before they do it. In 81% of suicide the person tells someone else WHERE and WHAT they are going to do BEFORE they do it."
That's a tough statistic to hear.
If you know someone who is struggling - listen to them, let them know they aren't alone and that it will get better. And let someone else know who can better help in the situation.
