MEDICAL DISCLAIMER:
GALLERY OF HOPE IS NOT A MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST, BUT JUST A PERSON TRYING TO HELP OTHERS BY CREATING FREE WELL-BEING AND PREVENTION RESOURCES. BECAUSE I HAVE NO FORMAL TRAINING IN MENTAL HEALTH, THESE MATERIALS ARE NOT TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR GETTING NEEDED MENTAL HEALTH CARE. THEY WERE CREATED BECAUSE LIFE IS SO UNCERTAIN, NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THESE MATERIALS WILL HELP THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE ELSE.

NOBODY KNOWS WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE WILL CAUSE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS,
AND WHEN THEY HAPPEN, IT CAN BE TERRIFYING. BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE,
IS THAT IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE THESE KIND OF THOUGHTS DURING STRESSFUL AND SAD TIMES.
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE WELL-BEING MATERIALS THAT CAN HELP PREPARE THEM,
AND TO HAVE SOMEONE SAY "IT'S OK AND NORMAL TO HAVE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS SOMETIMES IN LIFE."
THE WHOLE TOPIC OF SUICIDE IS SCARY, AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE WANT TO AVOID TALKING ABOUT IT.
BUT IF PEOPLE HAVE PREVENTION RESOURCES EASILY AVAILABLE AND THEY ARE PREPARED,
IT MAY TAKE SOME OF THE SCARINESS AND POWER AWAY FROM THE WORD "SUICIDE."
SUICIDE IS A CHOICE!
USE THIS MY SAFETY PLAN ALONG WITH OTHER MATERIALS ON THIS WEBSITE (OR OTHER WEBSITES AS WELL),
TO GET PREPARED, BECOME MORE EDUCATED ABOUT YOURSELF, AND HAVE HOPE & REASSURANCE THAT YOU WILL . . . BE OK.
