Man who attempted suicide shares story of hope
We relished today in acknowledging enjoyment and feeling a bit more grounded. The group was inspired by a short video from people who called themselves the hope squad; an interview with a young man who thankfully unsuccessfully attempted suicide. We were encouraged to see that across the Atlantic people are aiming to reduce the stigma of suicide, prevent suicide, instill hope and support and realise that by being helped you can help others, so this resonated greatly with our own aims.
We had some fun with our very dramatic trailer for next weeks event and a rehearsal of speaking to a crowd. Encouraged with our new leaflets and still delighted with the funding received from the Scottish Recovery Consortium ideas flowed forth as to how to market the group further.
