Nearly everyone will experience thoughts of suicide at some point in their lives. The problem isn’t that we sometimes feel this way. The problem is that we suffer in silence when what we need most is to connect with non-judgmental and caring others. Neuroscientific findings suggest that humans are hard-wired to connect and that healing takes place in the context of human relationships. What this means is that supportive bonds can help us cultivate resiliency during difficult times. Stigma about suicide and mental health can get in the way of our natural ability to heal through connection. That is why we at Spotlight on Suicide (SOS) have made it our mission to shine a light on suicide by providing education about how to coexist with suffering. Stigma, like shame, can’t live in the light. Our Suicidal Ideation Toolbox (SIT) contains accessible skills for helping professionals and all people who experience deep suffering (which is everyone!). These skills are intended to increase resilience by fostering connection— with ourselves, our bodies, our communities, and our values— at times when we feel most disconnected.
