The Writing is on the Wall

Posted by everyminute - 12/16/08, 01:33 pm

Hundreds of advocates have declared war on mental illness. This enemy has erected looming obstacles and barriers around us and our children. The time has come to tear down these walls by voicing our concerns collectively. Loud enough to be heard. Walls of Jericho-style. And as the walls crumble, we will surmount these ruins and emerge victorious. The writing is on the wall.

I need your help!

Posted by everyminute - 11/17/08, 05:04 pm

I need as many volunteers to help with a new campaign we're about to launch.

I'm calling it "The Writing is on the Wall" and its gonna be a high energy, passionate call to arms for people to get serious about mental health and suicide prevention.

And I need your help to help spread the word online in DS and in your social networks. Volunteering will take a few minute of your time, but it may make a huge difference in someone's life.

Please contact me at jfreeman@everyminute.org if you are curious! Thanks.
