Suicide Prevention Resources
Suicide is a serious issue in America today, and while suicides may have declined overall during 2020, the rate of suicidal thoughts has increased. Having helpful, actionable resources available for when someone is struggling with thoughts of suicide is a crucial step toward them getting the help they need. Be it stress, substance abuse, trauma, or any other issue that can cause thoughts of suicide, getting the proper care and treatment is often necessary to avoid tragedy.

Let’s Talk: The Collective Needs Healing-Why and How?
Hey guys, gals and non-binary pals. Let’s Talk: The Collective Needs Healing: Why and How? It is a truth universally acknowledged that mental health is taboo and extremely stigmatized. Is that what Jane said? No? Well she should have. Society brushes that under the rug way too much. In fact, they go beyond the rug. No amount of shovels could ever dig up the depth that we have buried this topic. It’s become demonized and seen as something to be ashamed of, a showcase of weakness — -that to recognize the state of your mental means to proclaim insanity. No one wants to become alienated, ridiculed or seen as inferior so we do our best to hide those not-so-pretty parts of ourselves. We bear it all alone, facades in tow, in effort to “protect” ourselves. Oh how we couldn’t be any more misinformed? These stigmas manifest from misguided views. A lack of education and information, if you will.

Suicide. A Message of Hope.
We begin with a prayer of forgiveness to open one’s heart further on the topic of suicide, for it is within the divine heart this is a belief structure to be deconstructed. It is common to believe the cause of death ruled a suicide is when one has taken one’s own life. The ability for one to choose their own destined path of a life’s completion is the topic we choose to discuss with you.

R U OK?
It's the second week of Septemer, which means R U OK Day is coming up. Founded in 2009 by Gavin Larkin, R U OK Day was intended to raise awareness of mental health and suicide prevention. It came to national attention in 2011, and inspires somewhat mixed feelings in the general populace. On R U OK Day, people are encouraged to reach out and strengthen personal relationships by asking a simple question: R U OK?

Being in a Sober Living in Oklahoma City
Sober Living in Oklahoma City is a way of life for the addicted person. Oklahoma is one of the most dangerous places to live for an addict. They are most likely to fall into trouble, whether legally or illegally. Unfortunately, they have not learned from their mistakes and have a higher rate of relapse than people who do not have addiction problems. There are places in Oklahoma where drug rehabilitation treatment facilities are located.

Helping Adam to Climb Mountains
A chance meeting on a street in Leicester, twenty years ago, brought back a host of memories for both of us. I was sure that I had seen him somewhere before, and clearly the same applied to him, because we looked at each other with that “where do I know you from?” expression on our faces.

The Beauty in Melancholy
'Old Time Blues' played softly from an old record player inside the tavern. The place was empty, apart from a single bartender wiping a cup at the bar to my right and the slow flicker of a neon green light above the door I'd just walked in. I lowered my head as I walked slowly over to the bar, taking a seat on one of the maroon stalls. I had been driving for so long I didn't know where I was anymore. I didn't care. At least now my whereabouts reflected that of my mind. Lost.
