Concerns A Day Of Healing @ (NAPSA)—Inthe United States, a person dies by suicide every 18 minutes, leaving behind family mem- bers, friends and coworkers—‘“sur- vivors”—to cope with their pain and their questions. National Survivors of Suicide Day, sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), is an annual commemoration that allows survivors nationwide to join together for support, healing, information and empowerment. Linking over 90 survivor conferences nationwide through a live broadcast, National Survivors of Suicide Day—observed this year on November 20—helps survivors express and understand the powerful emotions they experience. The broadcast features panel discussions with “veteran” survivors and clinical experts. The event is also broadcast live on the Web. An online chat immediately follows the Web cast, enabling survivors to connect with others and share their own stories.
