Speak Up Save Lives - Show and Tell Monday

This is a different kind of Show and Tell, but I think it's very important and wanted to share it with my readers. This message was posted on the Online Handyman's blog which I follow regularly.

Join Ken McArthur’s Impact Action Team as together we create awareness, education and access to Teen Suicide Prevention Resources and save thousands of lives! Ken McArthur wants to spread a message of hope to teenagers who
don’t think that life is worth living.

I think it’s a great message of hope for anyone and would love to
see all of my readers think about spreading it today.

Here’s Ken’s simple message for for giving hope (and maybe saving
someone’s life!):

G - Greet and meet: talk to others, smile, say hello, ask
someone how they are doing

I - Involve yourself and others: find a cause you can support,
volunteer, pledge resources. Get the people around you
involved, especially if you see someone beginning to
withdraw. Invite them to participate in some activity, to
“get out” of their comfort zone

V - Validate others: tell others that they matter - especially
family members and friends that you tend to see daily but
may take for granted, give genuine compliments

E - Empathize: be a listening ear, take time to be fully
present, don’t try to solve - just acknowledge someone’s
feeling/hurt
