There are a lot of people struggling this weekend. Some I know personally. For what it's worth - please know you're not alone. You're loved and valued. The world is a brighter and more beautiful place with you in it. Please stay. -

Picture of a semicolon. Particularly within the context of the Project Semicolon movement, this is a symbol of hope and continuation, not an end, representing the choice to live and overcome mental health struggles, especially those related to suicide.

Right now... Young people with diagnosable levels of mental distress have almost doubled since 2017. Demand for mental health services has never been higher, with nearly 2 million young people in contact with services in October 2024.
