Parker’s vow of silence
I have decided to take on this challenge to help R U OK? to spread their message and help prevent suicide.
About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day.
For every death, it’s estimated another 30 people will attempt suicide. These people including people of all ages, gender and background.
89% of people report knowing somebody who has made an attempt.
I want to help change these numbers.
As someone who has attempted to take my own life, and known others who have to, this cause is very important to me. Without the help of doctor's, mental health professionals, research and awareness surrounding suicide, me and many other people around the world would not be alive today. R U OK?’s vision is of a world where we are all connected and protected from suicide.
Their mission is to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and support anyone struggling with life.
By inspiring people to take the time to ask, “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people who are struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.
Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference.
