World suicide prevention day

[Leo]

Dear Friends,

I paste below a posting from an NGO which renders service to the
community and is particularly relevant today on World Suicide
prevention day.

Please check out their website : www.cooj.co.in for more information
and if you can give any service / help to this community, please do
so.

All other points are self explanatory in the posting.

Live a Fuller Life,

Dear Friends,

10th September is celebrated globally as World Suicide Prevention Day.
This is a day when we remember all those who have lost their lives to
suicide. We also remember their families and friends who are still
trying to cope and pray for every person who is coping up with stress
in their lives. It is a day when we strenghten ourselves by firmly
believing that whatever the situation, we will not give up. There is
always hope, there is always a way out. Every problem has a
solution.... The world around us may not change but we can!!
DONT GIVE UP

I request everyone to:

1) wear yellow ribbons ( representing suicide prevention) which has a
message "ASK FOR HELP". Never stay with your thoughts and emotions
locked up inside for fear of being judged. Pick up a friend along your
lifes journey whom you can trust and if the problem gets bigger then
go to a professional.


2) Light candles at 8pm and say a prayer for all suicide victims and
their families and the youth of today.


3) Pass this message to all on your contact list......

Lets unite together to bring hope,

Regards,
Peter Castelino
