Suicide and Mental Illness

I have heard over and over the amount of time it has taken for someone to stabilize this illness, and how many times people have recovered only to falter again, some have lost hope and have fallen victims to this illness, but still others have stood tall and found inside themselves the will to stay in the fight. We cannot say what it is from one to another what definitively causes this illness yet or how to treat it. This drives me to find the answers that will help us overcome this illness. To have answers that we can and will build on with the support and understanding of our peers. To pave the way for preventative care plans, and create treatments for the illness rather than masking the symptoms. Our children deserve that.

    Love this! As a suicide survivor, I am shocked to see how many others suffer too. Please, please keep up the good work.
