Suicide Prevention?

I'm writing a speech on suicide prevention. I need some reasons why the audience should help change the minds of people who are considering commiting suicide.





I know there's the whole 'makes you feel good inside' stuff, but i need something more. Any ideas?








NEED ANSWER ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suicide Prevention?
I don’t think getting someone to help an individual to change their mind is suicide prevention. It’s just delayed till the next time it all comes apart and they will be back at it straight as an arrow. I know because this is my life. I was ready again last night, I got organised, updated the notes for my children and started down my chosen path. While in progress some people showed up and interrupted me. They had the yaks, they were feeling down and came to me to lift them up. So I put myself on hold, and tried to help them, it was so late when they left I was falling asleep.





So I am here to fight the fight another day. Not because someone has changed my mind, that’s just not possible, but by showing up, by wanting my participation in life. Even if it just is my sage advice to overcome their issues. There must be an oxymoron in that somewhere I am sure.





They don’t know my history, no one who knows me really, or knows my history; I keep it well hidden behind half truths and obfuscation. That’s always been part of my survival strategy. It got me through childhood and my teens and became part of me.





People don’t want to know, and I don’t blame them. If you can get people to want to know from an individual what drives them to suicide, then you may be on a path to suicide prevention, all though I don’t think so.





I am convinced sharing what happened, in any detail, will not unmake the damage done, so unless you know how to unmake that damage, then maybe there is no prevention. Just delay, so may be that should be your strategy, suicide delay, not prevention. I will try again, this week or next or when ever, that is a certainty. I have been sprung when I was 12 and 17, hospitalised on subsequent failed attempts and kept it very quiet. They simply taught me the correct dosages and the need for rapid consumption before the effects etc. start. It will happen and then for the first time in my life I will taste from the fruit of peace.





Good luck in your endeavours.





Fight the fight, be safe, be sage.
Reply:If the person is on the brink of committing suicide, then he or she needs professional help. If he or she`s just down enough to be suspected of contemplating suicide, family and friend support, exercise, support groups, engaging in interesting activities should help.
Reply:good ? I believe we as indivividuals should become more involved like big brothers and big sisters for children how about friends for those who r in need of reasons to live.... help them be more social, build confidence, ect
Reply:Um because your family and friends will be hurt.
