Behind the Smile: The Hidden Faces of Suicide
Every 40 seconds, somewhere in the world, a life is lost to suicide. By the end of the year, that adds up to nearly 800,000 people. For every life taken, there are countless others who attempt it—some estimates say over 20 million attempts each year.

The Silent Thread: Following What Can’t Be Seen
1. The Quiet Mechanics of Being We often assume we understand our lives through logic and clarity. We believe our decisions stem from reason, our reactions from present-day events.
