Welcome from Deborah and Brian
Calling all Parents and Teachers.....Let's change hopelessness into a trigger for seeking help! When technology is hopeless for most of us, we ask someone who knows more about it and ask them for help. When our car isn't running it's easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless; then we look for a trusted mechanic and ask for help. This is not shameful.
So why do we feel shame if we need help if our life feels hopeless?
Within this website you will find an interactive workbook designed to provide a tool to communicate with the students YOU know best between the ages of 8 and 18, about the 5 stages of intellectual development that we all experience throughout our lives.
-
See how hopelessness is the culprit behind nearly every suicide.
-
Understand how to cope with hopelessness.
-
Comprehend the stages and steps to help yourself and others.
-
Laughter is the best medicine. Humour can heal if delivered properly.
You will also find the companion video presentation that supports the workbook; along with a trailer that gives a taste of the video for those considering to purchase either the video and/or the workbook.
The program is simplified and delivered in a very positive (sometimes humorous) manner to approach a very serious concern: Bullying and Suicide at any age; but specifically pre-teen & teens in this initiative.
As suicide survivors, Brian & I have lived through the bullying that instills the parasite “hopelessness” within our youth. We don't blame the internet, or anything other than the lack of experience and knowledge.
Please look at the 3.5 minute message of hope (video above) regarding this workbook project that started in 2018 and came out to the public in 2020. We have seen tremendous success with this information so far.
If we start today, the high school graduating class of 2034 will be the first generation to eliminate suicide as a solution to hopelessness.
Please help us get this information into the hands of the youth around you. For anyone at risk, and of any age, this information will be helpful
Information & Knowledge is power. Let’s empower our students!
With our warmest and best regards,
-Deb & Brian
