The November 3rd issue of Parade Magazine features a personal essay by Melissa about losing her mother to suicide and her life as a survivor. Melissa has been a powerful advocate for the cause and supports the efforts of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). AFSP’s annual International Survivors of Suicide Day will take place this year on November 23rd; it’s a day for survivors of suicide loss gather together in locations around the world to feel a sense of community, to promote healing, and to connect with others who have had similar experiences.
Join Melissa and AFSP Medical Director Christine Moutier, M.D. for a live Facebook chat, hosted by Parade Magazine today (Monday, Nov. 4) at 2:00pmET/11:00amPT to share your personal stories and ask questions about depression and suicide. The chat will take place on Parade’s Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/parademag).
