Consequences of Suicide within Pagan Religions
TRIGGER WARNING: discussion of suicide
NOTE: If you are depressed and contemplating suicide, please, please get help. If you have a trusted friend or family member, counselor, teacher, etc… that you can talk to, do so. Otherwise (in the US) you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or chat online with someone who can help via IMAlive or CrisisChat. For international assistance you can check the International Suicide Prevention wiki for resources. No matter how bad things may seem right now, they will eventually get better. Taking your own life is not the best solution, and there are people out there who can help.~*~
Hello, I’ve had this question for a few months now and I’m still trying to find the right way to ask about it. I’ve been looking up people to ask, but it never seems to work. When I found you, I got excited. If you commit Suicide, will you not be welcomed in by the Great Mother and Great Father? I’ve been told that if you commit suicide out of Deep Depression, you wont be loved or forgiven by the divine. I’m sorry if the question makes you feel uncomfortable, but I had to ask.
Thank you.

It’s Time to Take Action: Innovative Community Approaches to Children’s Mental Health
Much attention has been given recently to discussing the challenges we, as communities and families, encounter regarding the mental health needs of our youth and young adults. Hosted by NAMI and the Cigna Foundation, this forum takes us from dialogue to action and focuses national attention on the need to adopt innovative approaches to improving children’s mental health. This forum offers practical information on how to bring effective programs to schools, primary care and other settings. It addresses challenges facing communities in preventing bullying, building workforce capacity and addressing addiction disorders. The forum also features youth sharing their thoughts on how to continue to raise the national dialogue on mental health.
