I am very busy right now and only have a few minutes to type. I am packing and preparing for a trip to San Francisco tonight to attend and present at the Institute on Psychiatric Services Annual meeting.

I don’t have any time to say more, but please enjoy these 2 photos taken during the suicide prevention walk on Sunday. And a huge THANKS to everyone who supported my walk! I promise to post more photos and a longer blog post very soon when I have a free moment.

    Wasn’t it called the “Suicide Prohibition” walk?  It should have been.  Suicide is an act, not a happening.  You can’t prevent acts, you can only prohibit them.  It’s more than a semantic difference. Think about it for a while.

      perhaps I’m confusing the semantics, but the AFSP’s (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) main goal is to attempt to reduce the incidence of suicide.
