@Chitailova You are masterpiece. Keep being open. Proud to read and follow your page

Use of stigmatizing words when talking about individuals living with mental health challenges, is dehumanizing and degrading. Non-stigmatizing person-first language, focuses on the individual, not the diagnosis. You are not your diagnosis. You are so much more. #StopSuicide

There are huge challenges on the path to recovery, and everyone’s journey is different. The one constant is that recovery will push you to tap into strength within yourself that you never knew existed, as you build resiliency muscle. Keep pushing. You’ve got this. #StopSuicide

Just be there , kind and caring

If your life were a movie, would it be a drama? A comedy? Maybe a thriller or a horror flick? Would you change the channel because you already know the ending. It’s your life. If you don’t like the script, let’s change it and create an ending you can live with. #StopSuicide

Congratulations to our partner International Voluntary Mental Health Organisation for opening the first voluntary mental health and wellness centre in the Gambia 🇬🇲

The Center will provide counselling, psycho education services etc

If you’ve ever lost someone to suicide, it’s easy to blame yourself. You may think, if you’d been a better husband, wife, parent, etc., your loved one might still be here. But it wasn’t your fault.
You did the best you could with the information you had at the time. #StopSuicide
