Suicide has a stigma to it. It's a taboo subject that gets swept under the carpet.

This needs to stop, and it needs to stop now.

By sweeping the topic of suicide under the carpet, we give rise to that which gives suicide its strength and power.

Shame.

Shame lives and breathes in the dark. It's an insidious disease that will eat us from the inside out unless we address it.

Articles like this help bring a dark topic into the light.
