Idea Starter: Observe International Survivors of Suicide Day

International Survivors of Suicide Day will be observed Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012. Remember loved ones who committed suicide and comfort their families with a special memorial, such as a photo quilt, and hold a candlelight vigil. Invite someone directly affected by suicide to speak at your Sunday services or offer a showing of the movie To Save a Life and distribute prevention resources.
