Joy Hibbins, a former teacher in Gloucestershire, England, became suicidal following a devastating incident and developed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Her own traumatic experience in 2012 led Hibbins to set up the Suicide Crisis charity a year later a lifeline she says helped her also recover personally.
“Their person-centered approach and emphasis on being understanding, kind and gentle is very inspirational, yet so simple and practical. People who have used the service are in no doubt that it has helped save lives,"
More than 800,000 people commit suicide globally every year and many more attempt it, the World Health Organization reported.
Suicide was the second leading cause of death in 2012 among 15- to 29-year-olds, after accidents.
Just a thought.
