Today is day three of Suicide Prevention Week, and we are continuing the #NoDejahVu campaign by posting daily with articles and social media posts focused on suicide prevention. We need you to help! (cont) 
Of all the factors related to suicide, no lists suggest that "being loved, embraced, respected, and accepted" contributes. Being dismissive, embarrassed, or judgemental of people's personal truth and way of existing, their very identity, devastates them. (cont)
Lack of acceptance contributes to why so many LGBTQ+ youth consider, attempt to, or do end their own lives. Teachers, parents, friends, classmates, grandparents-- respect & accept those in your life for where and who they are.
And, we need everyone's help! (cont)

NeuroClastic has teamed up with BlackLivesMatter757 (@BLM757) to launch this global initiative in honor of Dejah Jones, who loved everyone and wanted them to know they mattered. She ended her own life after experiencing bullying.
