The act of sharing, whether that be sharing hope, stories, time, resources, or experiences, can serve as a powerful tool in suicide prevention. By sharing hope with one another and throughout our communities, we can work through pain and connect individuals to resources in times of crisis and before. We know that the more individuals, professions, organizations, and systems work together, rather than in silos, to share knowledge and resources the more we can increase the quality of care being provided, as well as the instances of help-seeking and resource utilization. Through sharing of experiences and stories, we can connect with and inspire one another, assuring individuals with lived experience and who have lost someone to suicide that healing is possible.
Sharing can create a sense of belonging while also reducing the weight of our burdens – allowing us to take action for suicide prevention together.
