When was this ? Was this a local LA campaign?

It was a commendable effort. It's good to know that there are others out there doing good and trying to make a difference.

Definitely and I think suicide is often taboo to focus on so I think this is just great to help

You would think that the Religious community would get more involved with this issue.

Very true. It's rarely if ever mentioned to my knowledge. Some get too focused on condemning others tather than aiding them. The more I think about it what a great project this is

Exactly. It's been clear for a very long time that there are people out there that need real help to cope. I have personally known 7 people that have committed suicide in my lifetime. This goes all the way back to my college roommate being the first.

Omg. Sorry to hear that. Have you read about the recent suicides in NYC of people jumping in front of trains?

That is not new. It has been a fairly regular occurrence on Long Island where people have jumped onto the tracks or intentionally drove their cars in front of the LIRR trains to kill themselves.
