SAVE - Suicide Awareness/Voices of Education
If you are over 20 years old there is an extremely good chance that someone you know has had serious thoughts of committing suicide.
There is a very good chance that someone you know has actually attempted suicide.
And there is - unfortunately - a good chance that someone you know has ended their own life.
And if you're like me, you can put names and faces in each category.
SAVE - Founded and headquartered in Bloomington, MN - is an organization with national exposure and is a member of the National Council for Suicide Prevention. They rely HEAVILY on volunteers who are integral in EVERY aspect of the organization. The mission of SAVE is to prevent suicide through public awareness and education, eliminate stigma and serve as a resource to those touched by suicide.
