Project Semicolon - ;

;

A Semicolon, not just a grammar mark.

People around the world are using the ; punctuation mark as a sign of raising awarness for not just suicide awarness, prevention or help but to also raise awarness for mental illness.

Copied most of this text, whilst sitting indoors having chatted to a friend of a friend or rather a friend of a pen pal on the social media platform that is rather infamously called Facebook. Having read my pen pal Mazzie's post on her own take on raising awarness a friend of hers reccommended I 'I google about it, hence why the links!

https://projectsemicolon.com project semicolon; says:

"Within the belief that suicide is generally preventable, the mission of Project Semicolon is to help reduce the incidents of suicide in the world through connected community and greater access to information and resources. We believe that suicide prevention is the collective responsibility of each and every person on the planet."

also a link to a metro news post I found also on google:

Personally, I have known penpals, friends and also myself in a way struggling with the whole raising awarness of mental illness and not being able to cope, I've been through it and so have many others out there.

Project Semicolon is a global non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and love for those who are struggling with mental illness, suicide, addiction and self-injury. Project Semicolon exists to encourage, love and inspire.

Please if anyone has any reviews or if this has helped you please comment to this post. - Rae
