Jeremy Forbes : How to start a conversation about suicide


Jeremy Forbes at TED@Westpac
How to start a conversation about suicide  (transcript)
Summary
"He (the speaker) thinks that we can all be life preservers".
This is a great sentence. Not only for a person who thinks that he/she wants to commit suicide but also for kids, elderly people, and robbers, people in the community are life preservers.  In the past, communities must have been like that. Communities helped people but communities could stop stealing. Every one must have prevented their communities, however, what happens now?
When a person suicides, no one doesn't know the reason why he/she does, the words they say are who's next and even there is a pronounced ripple effect.
People can solve one's hidden troubles, but people can listen and stop suiciding.
The speaker creates a place where people can start a conversation about suicide in the communities. He is a life preserver but it doesn't work unless all people are preservers in the communities where it’s important to have a conversation.

Words in this story
preserver /noun/ a person or thing that saves from damage or harm.
