He said :
We live busy lifestyles and barely get time to sit and actually process our thoughts, which is likely a reason why mental health issues , suicidal ideation, depression or underlying problems go unassessed.
In life everybody falls, but it takes several minutes to get shattered like a glass and just a second to bounce back like a ball .As far as life is concerned you have a choice either to be a glass or to be a ball.
Being a glass – you have no choice but to get shattered. Being a ball – you have a choice but to bounce back and find yourself.
Everyone knows that we are in a Turbulent era, a period of frustrations, depressions, confusions, terror, stress and the likes. Everyone’s trying to meet up their target in life . All these increase the risk of high BP which also consequently leads to heart failure or attack. Of course, we expect sudden death, which is now rampant. Please move away from being provoked easily by your kids, friends, colleagues, superiors, subordinates, partners, husbands and wives. Avoid reacting to things aggressively. Isolate yourself from disturbances, isolate yourself from toxic people. Avoid too much thinking when no salary or food at home, imagine it’s on the way coming. Avoid exchange of words with people at home, markets, offices, chambers etc. Always check your BP, take drugs, follow instructions, and exercises. Avoid cholesterol foods. Go to see your doctor immediately if you feel changes in your body, especially chest. Stay in peace and never fight anyone, pray always.Your health is far better than any worldly thing. Beware of transfer of aggression. STAY ALIVE and have a fruitful time always.
Stay Alive book increases awareness about suicidal behaviors and how to effectively prevent them, provides effective grand strategies, self-values to maintain your mental health and multi-level prevention on suicide, grief, depression and anxiety among Adolescents & Youth,”
He said in every 40 seconds someone takes their own life according to the World Health Organization (WHO). That’s about 800,000 people worldwide every year , although some estimates put that number closer to 1 million. Suicide is the leading cause of death for people aged 15 to 29 and for every suicide that results in death, there are as many as 40 attempted suicides. What we know for sure is that there’s a lot to live for.
Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. In fact, suicide is often the result of an untreated mental health condition. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues.
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month , a time to raise awareness on this stigmatized, and often taboo, topic. In addition to shifting public perception, we use this month to spread hope and vital information to people affected by suicide. Our goal is ensuring that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help.
Throughout the month of September, SAC ” Stay Alive Civility will highlight “ Suicide prevention & awareness among adolescents and youth , Together for Mental Health,” which encourages people to bring their voices together to advocate for better mental health care, including a crisis response system. SAC ” Stay Alive Civility wants any person experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors to have a number to call, a system to turn to, that would connect them to the treatment and support they need.
HOW TO OBSERVE STAY ALIVE LIFESTYLE
CONNECT: Reach out to someone who may need help. It’s widely known that certain behaviors indicate the possibility of suicide. We can all learn the warning signs of suicidal ideation. If we spot them early enough, we can take action. The use of media as a tool for promoting awareness.
DISCUSS: Talking about this issue is an important first step in ridding society of the idea that mental health issues should remain hidden. On Stay Alive Global Summit, host or simply attend a panel discussion on how mental health problems intensify thoughts of suicide.
SEARCH FOR RESOURCES: STAY ALIVE BOOK SERIES provides a lot of resources for young people to learn more about the reasons for suicide and how to prevent them. You will find countless books, music , and stay alive global summit events online to point you in the right direction. Knowledge is not only power — it can save someone’s life.
WHY STAY ALIVE BOOK IS IMPORTANT
Suicide affects all of us. Many people know somebody who has taken their own life or someone who has lost a friend or family member to suicide. STAY ALIVE BOOK will help you to reflect on the value of life and that no matter how bad things seem, there’s always hope.
Awareness Resources
