For World Suicide Prevention Day a mother reflects on losing her son to suicide and highlights the importance of days like today and advocating for better suicide prevention and awareness, in the article "World Suicide Prevention Day 2014".
"Five years later WSPD is not just a tweet-able acronym but a day set aside to recognize a growing movement of people willing to be the change. Schools are advocating for mental health literacy in their curriculum. Celebrities are speaking out about their experiences. Mental health organizations, government agencies and corporations are combining their social currency and resources in support of mental health awareness. We hope the upside of this awareness is that people will seek support -- will feel less stigmatized to share their disease."
