TELL Suicide Awareness Talkie Walkie

This year the theme of World Suicide Prevention Day is "Suicide Prevention: One World Connected." The theme reflects the fact that connections play an important role at many levels in the combat against suicide. TELL knows that connections save lives.

This year TELL will hold its first suicide awareness Talkie Walkie, made possible with support from Morgan Stanley, the Teachers’ Band Night event and designs by David George. Anyone across Japan can plan their own walk or join an existing walk and help raise awareness about this important topic.

Participants will each receive a Talkie Walkie tote bag, used to gather signatures on the day as they make connections along their walk.

TELL is reaching out to churches, schools, universities, embassies, organizations, businesses and individuals across Japan to take a step with them and get connected all across Japan on Sept 10. Help remember those lives that have been cut short and join with others around the globe who are walking to break down stigma and raise awareness about preventing suicide.

Participants can either join an existing walk, or host one themselves by visiting the TELL Talkie Walkie website to connect with fellow walkers and even post your own story.
