"When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held on for so long.” -Hayley Williams
Ruhani hosts a very important hour that focuses on teen suicide and suicide prevention. She interviews Elliot H Kallen, President of A Brighter Day, a 501 c3 that offers resources for teens to stop suicide. Ruhani emphasizes that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. She also shares poems and warning signs of possible suicide. If you're feeling lonely and experiencing suicidal thoughts, please consider the following steps:
1. Reach out to someone you trust.
2.

3.
Contact a helpline such as 741741

6.

7.
Take care of your physical health.

Elliot discusses the various free programs that A Brighter Day offers. His 19-year-old son, Jake, took his life when he was depressed. Elliot is devoting his life to creating a brighter day for other teens. He is frank about the necessity to get positive programming to youth to alleviate the stress and depression young people feel today. Social media has caused an injustice for youth. A Brighter Day unites stress and depression resources with teens and their parents with the goal of stopping teen suicide.
Life Can Be Hard as You Transition Into Adulthood.
It’s okay to feel confused and lost.
It’s okay to feel like you don’t have the emotional resources to deal with life’s challenges.
It’s okay to be less than perfect.
No matter how hard it is, or how hard it gets, you’ll always be able to make it through.
