World Suicide Prevention Day-2009

 Resources For Bloggers

 Dear Members,

I know how busy you must be, and I know you are preparing for World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10. I’ve put together some links for you to use when writing your blog posts.

 The theme this year is: ‘Suicide Prevention In Different Cultures.’   Because our members are from many parts of the world, it will be interesting to hear from each country or culture on this year’s theme.

You may post more than one,  and before the event, but we will need to post one for Bloggers Unite on September 10.

 We are listed among the list activities on The World Health Organization (WHO) site. http://www.iasp.info/resources/World_Suicide_Prevention_Day/2009/
