El plan B

Suicide and hopelessness are increasingly prevalent in our society, and our young people are among the most affected. We cannot turn a blind eye to this worrying reality. It is therefore essential to have tools to help them develop their skills, rediscover their enthusiasm for life, and become part of a safety net that can guide them toward a more hopeful future. Talking about suicide is frightening, terrifying, especially when it involves young people, whether you are a family member, teacher, healthcare professional, social worker, or friend. But when the possibility arises, so does the opportunity to build bridges, to gain valuable time, and to begin designing a roadmap to a different, kinder place where they can be happy. This is the Plan B, the one this book proposes, so that it can ultimately become Plan A. Because hope is revolutionary, and support is incredibly life-saving.
