Project Sail

September is su***de awareness month. What does that mean? Why does it matter? To raise awareness is to educate. Everyone is fighting an internal battle you don’t know about. For some, their battle is trying to convince them that the only way out is to end their life. But raising awareness means raising hope and purpose to those who feel that they have lost it and see no way out. There is hope, there are options, you have a purpose and are loved! It’s ok to not be ok! Check in on your friends, be kind to strangers. Your pain is not a burden, you are wanted and important. Your life is a blessing. STAY. LIVE. LOVE. Your story isn’t over yet.

We all have our battles, our struggles, our hardships and they effect us all differently. One person’s financial struggles may be just hard for one yet detrimental to another. But NEVER give up, no matter what your hardship is, there is a helping hand and a way out. Take a step back and breathe.

Good morning! For some reason the website Shop is down, so if you’re wanting to purchase a Project Sail item, I have uploaded them to Facebook Marketplace! Just go to Marketplace and search “Project Sail” and you’ll see our items listed as shown! Thank you all for your support! Remember: you are loved, cherished, and it’s ok to not be ok!

Have a moment of recognition! Did you eat today? Did you see something funny that made you laugh? Did you accomplish something on your to-do list? Get that job? Paid off a bill? Found a new hobby? Finished school? It’s important to recognize achievements in our day no matter how small or how big they are. We have to praise ourselves and encourage ourselves because in the end, we are our own biggest fans. What’s your moment of recognition today?

Su***de awareness tip! Did you know that when someone is in a suicidal moment and the means to which they would use to end their life is delayed, they have a greater chance of choosing not to continue in taking their life? Something as simple as putting a lock/trigger lock on a gun could mean the difference in someone living or dying in a suicidal moment. The VA offers FREE gun locks to veterans and military members in an effort to reduce su***de! Please, take advantage of this and check out your local Veterans Affairs Office or buy one yourself. You never know what a single minute of delay could mean!

Good news!!!! Even faster and easier to get help!!
