And almost everyone in the world has experience with someone that has attempted or completed suicide. Or has personally, or known someone who has lived with or struggled with a mental health challenge.
It is time to break the silence and stigma around talking about mental health and bring light to the epidemic of suicide. This world is in a mental health crisis, it is a global issue. More people now than ever are suffering, struggling, experiencing or living with a mental health challenge.
BCC Evolution was designed for those that want to get educated about mental health and suicide for more understanding and have the capability to help others when in need. Also a place to see the faces, names and stories of those that are ready to speak up and honor the lives of those lost or honor themselves for the journey they have survived. Everything we do is education based.
