World Suicide Prevention Day: “Stay. Find what you were made for.”

Join Mu Sigma Upsilon in our support of our national philanthropy TWLOHA for World Suicide Prevention Day. Below is an excerpt from TWLOHA’s blog. Check out the full post here.

Stay. Find what you were made for.

World Suicide Prevention Day is Sunday, September 10, and it arrives at the start of National Suicide Prevention Week in America. WSPD has become the most important day of the year for us. Our previous campaigns, from “No one else can play your part” to “We’ll see you tomorrow” to “And so I kept living,” represent some of our favorite stories and moments in the history of TWLOHA. This year’s statement comes from the book When Hope Speaks by our friend Jessica Morris. We are super grateful to Jess for allowing us to use her words.

We’re asking people to stay.
We’re asking you to stay.

Stay and rest.
Stay and fight.
Stay and see things change.
Stay to love and be loved.
Stay to be surprised.
Stay to live your dreams.
Stay. Find what you were made for.
