Here's the deal, folks...this is a short and brutally honest blog about suicide, and a request for your help (no $ involved!) in the coming year.
On Dec. 28th I spent some time making up graphics featuring the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. One for every month of 2019. I did this in response to the death of a high school sophomore that brought my son's football team to their knees. The shock waves rocked students and teachers...and parents like me. I cried for the student. I cried for this child's parents. I cried for my own sons who knew this child. It was a rough day...week...month. It still hurts.
Here's the graphic I posted for NYE.

Two days after making the graphics, a family member of one of my colleagues took their life. Again, my world was wrecked and my heart torn for this person and their family. Even as I type this, my tears are falling.
So, here's the deal: I'll be posting my graphics on Facebook and Twitter every month. All I ask is that you watch for them and share them. Or, if you want, here's all of them for you to share on your own social media platforms. You could even make up your own.
They may or may not save a life, but I guarantee you that they won't help anyone unless we take two seconds to share them. Isn't the chance of saving a life worth the time?
Thanks.
