Let Facebook know: http://bit.ly/cMzK8N Breaking the Silence started as a committee put together by Christy Gibson Miller. Given that so many of our youth were dying by su***de Christy decided that there needed to be community awareness around su***de in youth. The amount of support that Breaking the Silence received was A-mazing. Now what started as a committee is now a coalition. This coalition consits of not only proffessionals but survivors of su***de, as well.

"Go outside. Don’t tell anyone and don’t bring your phone. Start walking and keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand, because we walk the same roads day in and day out, to the bus and back home and we cease to see. We walk in our sleep and teach our muscles to work without thinking and I dare you to walk where you have not yet walked and I dare you to notice. Don’t try to get anything out of it, because you won’t. Don’t try to make use of it, because you can’t. And that’s the point. Just walk, see, sit down if you like. And be. Just be, whatever you are with whatever you have, and realise that that is enough to be happy.
There’s a whole world out there, right outside your window. You’d be a fool to miss it."
