#repost for #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 🌻💛 The theme for this year's awareness day is "Changing the Narrative" with the aim to start conversations. open up the dialogue and reduce the stigma. "Every conversation, no matter how small, contributes to a supportive and understanding society. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of support."

Do we want an audio only social space where we give our voices the chance they deserve? Much like reality it would be disappearing voice messages and notes from people around the world sharing thier thoughts, ideas, poetry, songs, spoken word or essays. While the world loves watching a debate, our team is going to work on something for us to collaborate on. Who knows, we might all learn something along the way. But what would we call it? Voice chat? Voicebook?#growandthinkrich #communityfirst #rollagram 🥁

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD This serves as a reminder that every voice matters, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Whether it's speaking out against injustice, sharing personal experiences, or advocating for a cause, each individual has the power to make a difference in their own unique way. By amplifying marginalized voices, challenging systemic inequalities, and advocating for positive change, individuals can contribute to a more just, equitable, and compassionate society. "Let your voice be heard" is not just a mantra it's a powerful reminder of the inherent worth and potential within each individual to make a difference in the world. By embracing authenticity, courage, and empathy, individuals can unleash the power of their voices and create positive change in their communities and beyond. So let us all heed the call to action, speak our truth, and let our voices be heard. #day12 #30dayswritingchallenge #momentwithelizabeth Elizabeth Atabeh

Democracy thrives when we 'Listen'! This month, we are exploring the transformative power of Active Listening in our #ThankYouDemocracy campaign. In today's fast-paced world, where voices often compete to be heard, the act of truly listening can be revolutionary. Active Listening involves more than just hearing words; it requires empathy, understanding, and respect for different perspectives. By embracing Active Listening, we can transform public dialogues and enhance community engagement. When we listen actively, we validate the experiences and viewpoints of others, fostering an environment of mutual respect. This respectful engagement is the cornerstone of productive and constructive conversations. Active Listening can create a more inclusive, understanding, and democratic society. Let's listen to one another and build bridges of communication that strengthen our communities. #ThankYouDemocracy #ActiveListening #CommunityEngagement #PublicDialogue
