vol. 3 issue 34
Greetings,
It was brief, what I wanted to say this week, once again on a Sunday instead of Friday, busy with remote presentations as I have been.
But that’s all out of my head now, as I have learned that a member of our community here at docu-mental has taken his life. Scott was generous with his comments to me in private, and made thought-provoking suggestions.
In Scott’s honor, I refer all of you to another person whose life has been touched by such loss, Dr. Sally Spencer Thomas. Sally is a friend of mine from childhood whose brother took his own life in 2004, and in so doing, inspired Sally to make suicide prevention her life’s work.
Suicide is one of the nation’s leading causes of death, particularly among men with no clinical history of mental illness. You can find out more about this epidemic, including how to recognize the signs of someone who might be silently suicidal, by visiting Sally’s site. Also, you can peruse Sally’s Facebook page for a trove of social media posts with even more ideas and resources, or listen to her podcast.
Sally and her team are also the creators of the ManTherapy video series, one of which I have included above.
In peace may you rest, Scott.
Whitney
