First posted by Terezia Farkas on Depression Help (Oct.2014) as "suicide prevention - a mother speaks out about the un-speakable" I was at the CDRIN training program in Calgary, Alberta when I first met Barbara Swanston. We were sitting at our tables, politely introducing ourselves.

Okay everyone, I am Tired!! Being depressed and attending a full day training course is really hard work. It takes a lot out of a person like me. But I'm also loving it! Not only because I'm learning lots but the people I'm meeting are wonderful! I can't tell you too much because of privacy issues but trust me when I tell you they are inspirational. The CDRIN training is led by Dr. Barbara Everett who so far has made the long hours fly by unnoticed with her graceful and humour filled teaching. CDRIN was launched in 2013 and this training is considered to be the first of its kind. CDRIN has five research hubs across Canada that do collaborative research projects involving researchers, clinicians, persons with lived experience, their carers and other stakeholders.

I'm sharing with you a special post by a beautiful lady. She calls herself Mrs. Mashed Up, not for the reasons you might think, but because she loves all KINDS of topics! You can read her wonderful ideas on her blog at That's Mashed Up. Suicide is a major outcome of depression that most of us have difficulties dealing with or understanding why the person would commit such an act. It enrages and frustrates us. It makes us weep and wonder if we could have done something to help. A suicide can shut us down emotionally because dealing with the loss is too painful. Please share this touching and deeply honest open letter to an uncle who committed suicide. CONTINUE READING..... |
