suicide

If you have any experience with suicide, especially where there is the possibility that it might have been an accident, you probably understand mixed feelings. That happens to me anytime there's a story or a movie or a whatever that pushes the question into your face.

Perhaps that explains my views on the matter: that people ought to be free to kill themselves without explanation, that getting help from a physician to do just that is a just and honest thing.

As we celebrate our Independence this week, please, don't forget Joseph Patrick Dwyer, Hometown Hero.

Suicide claims the life of over 1,100 college students each year*, and the impact of each one of those deaths touches us all. Active Minds, Inc., the only national organization dedicated to utilizing the student voice to raise mental health awareness on the college campus, is embarking on an aggressive campaign to promote a dialogue about mental health issues on campus and combat the incidence of student suicide. By empowering students and the student voice in mental health awareness, we envision one day when mental health issues are widely discussed, and the number of these tragic deaths is reduced to 0.
