Art therapy

Thurs art therapy was a good one. Therapist instructed me to draw a flower of my own & afterwhich, to write some words on it. Art therapist wanted me to read aloud what I've written on it but I was too shy to do so.

Art therapist read it & told me that she felt so touched by my words & asked if she can keep it.hee

Sometimes, I really dun have answers to the questions. I wish I had the answers too.

Youth In Mind - Raising Awarness

http://youthinmind.sg/olb_aboutwmhd.aspx#aboutolb

Details extracted from website:


In line with the World Federation of Mental Health's vision, "One Last Breath" was conceptualized by CHAT as the theme of this year's WMHD campaign to raise awareness amongst youths and young adults about suicide prevention.

Though we might never fully comprehend the reasons behind each suicidal act, we do believe that through open communication and acceptance of people as they are- we can help. As such, "One Last Breath..." seeks to explore the dilemma an individual faces when confronted with thoughts of suicide; and what might pass through their minds of words left unspoken. Some of these unspoken words touch upon Love. Regret. Gratitude. Guilt. Freedom. All of which seeks simply to be understood.

"One Last Breath" also serves as a reminder to those that seek to end their lives, that there are people out there who care and are willing to listen. Often, people do curb their suicide attempts when reminded of the words of encouragement from someone. These words don't just represent the messages that do follow from friends and loved ones, but also to put us in their shoes- what might one wish to hear before they take that one last breath? Remember, words from that one person might make a difference... maybe even yours.

Something to review

LIFE ctr consultations rms shd hv video recording to the best interest for both parties - 'psychologist' & 'patients' so that psychiarist knws how the sessions are being conducted. Felt extremely wrongfully wronged, extremely angry & disappointed.
