What is this project about?
Suicides can be prevented. Most people want to live. But for some, there are moments in life that make us want to escape the pain which can make us feel like we have no place on earth. Every year, more people die by suicide than through car accidents, or through war and homicide combined.
In many cultures it is hard to share how dark our feelings can be at times. But talking about them and experiencing that someone cares can generate hope and even save a life.
We believe that stories of people who have lived experience can help others understand what kind of support is needed the most in moments of pain. This website aims at giving voice to everyone who cares, to provide information around suicide prevention, and connect people to helpful resources.
A poem, a song, a drawing, a story, a photo, a sculpture, a video…
The ways we express ourselves and the ways we overcome the darkness of lost hope are as complex as our struggles and as manifold as are our reasons to live. For more, visit our exhibition
