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.
