An Intimate Video Conversation About Suicide Prevention
Suicide has become an Epidemic: The US suicide rate has jumped some 30% from 2000 to 2016, according to the Centers For Disease Control. The reasons are complex: Family fragmentation, social media overexposure, political polarization, opioids, and other life stressors all play a part. Stay Alive was developed in recognition of the challenges of traditional institutions in addressing all those in need.
Stay Alive is a 75-minute video/podcast documentary serving at-risk populations. The program’s two sections – Understanding and Helping, deliver messages of Education, Compassion and Caring for those who are in deep despair, along with Guidance for their families and friends who love them. Stay Alive is recommended for individuals, families, schools, communities, social services, and churches – anywhere there is a need. Stay Alive is available on YouTube and other distribution channels Free of Charge.
Stay Alive’s message centers around the process of moving from Despair, as in being seemingly unpaired with connection and a reason to live – feeling Hopeless, Helpless, Powerless, Useless, Worthless, Purposeless, Meaningless, Pointless – to Repairing. The Presenters’ profound personal disclosures and proven approaches make this program uniquely valuable and unlike any other you may have ever seen.

Dr. Mark Goulston tells us reach out to people and use this simple phrase, "What made you smile today?". This brightens your day, you walk away feeling better about yourself, and you've made someone else smile. Because when you say that to another person there is always something that makes you smile. The power of "What Made You Smile Today"? is your enabling a person to remember something pleasant and getting a second hit of that enjoyment. They are sharing it with you. And when you are depressed, the power of it is that you're getting out of self-absorption. Every day we should ask the invisible people in the world, "What made you smile today?"
So, tell us - What made us smile today?!
