Our Story 💛 "We wanted to give them hope" - Mark & Caroline Cook, founders of Hope and Homes for Children They saw the problem: Around the world, at least 5.4 million children are currently separated from their families. They’re shut away inside orphanages, even though 80% are not orphans. They proposed a solution: We need to get these children back to family. We have a clear roadmap guiding the way home, and a century's worth of research proving children belong in families, not orphanages. What you can do NOW to help: Join our global movement and call on world leaders to act now to urgently get these separated children back to family. Sign our petition today via the link. Let's get these children #BACKTOFAMILY https://lnkd.in/eQEdhiG4

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a time to come together to support one another and raise awareness. By fostering care and understanding in our workplaces and communities, we can make a meaningful difference in someone's life.   Here are three ways to be supportive this month and beyond.    1) Know and respond to the signs - look out for behavior changes or talk of loneliness from your colleagues and don't be afraid to connect with them. The World Health Organization offers these great tips for suicide prevention in the workplace. https://bit.ly/3zjbOYN     2) Raise awareness and help destigmatize mental healthcare. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is hosting awareness and fundraising walks (linked below) all around the country this fall. If there's one near you, this can be a great way to raise funds and start conversations with you circle.     3) Be a safe, supportive coworker. Suicide can be an intersectional issue--connecting to people's livelihoods, relationships, and sense of identity. The Trevor Project has done a deep dive on this intersectionality, particularly as it relates to LGBTQ+ youth.

Talking about suicide is hard, but the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has some helpful guidelines on their website: Telling your story can save lives and be a part of a healthy healing process, but only if you share it safely. Sharing your experience lets people know they are not alone and lets them know recovery is possible. If done safely, your story will encourage people at risk to seek help. What to do Be at a safe place in your recovery. Reflect on your own frame of mind. As a general guideline, wait at least one year after the attempt or loss before speaking. Define key messages. Your story should not simply express pain. Your goal should be to educate and inspire hope. Practice. Sharing your story may bring up unexpected emotions. Be sure to practice aloud so that you’re prepared to speak calmly and slowly in front of others. Emphasize the journey. Talk about both before and after the loss or attempt, and how far you’ve come in your recovery. Know your audience. Consider who you will be talking to (e.g., students, clinicians, survivors) and tailor your remarks accordingly. Be honest and comprehensive. Do not focus solely on the loss or attempt. Include the full range of your experience, both the positive and the negative, and how you manage your mental health today. Provide mental health resources for your audience to take home, like the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, the Crisis Text Line (text TALK or AYUDA to 741741), or afsp.org .
