“Lifting the taboo on talking about suicide”: let me begin by speaking freely.
This thought lived in my head for six years. I owe the fact that I’m still around to my father. Talking about suicide has saved my life.
As it turns out, there’s not much information available on what suicide is, which perpetuates society’s judgemental outlook on it. Not many people know how to talk suicidal feelings, and as a result its taboo status is maintained, even though talking is such an essential part of suicide prevention.
The short documentary “HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED SUICIDE?”, the music video for “DROWNING IN GOLD” and the interactive “LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS” contribute to meeting society’s need to normalise discussion of suicide.
