When there's a GLASS EMPTY Suicide Prevention Signal coaster displayed in a local venue ... you know it cares.
The owners and staff are telling you "no matter who you are, no matter how rough you feel ... you matter".
"And we're here to support you."
Because suicide prevention starts with a conversation.
GLASS EMPTY & The Whisperer Team is a movement bridging the gap between someone in suicide distress and a caring local.
It's a people-centric idea and initiative reliant on people, and the goodness of people. Creating spaces for conversations and encouraging people to seek professional help, if support from family, friends and community is unavailable.
So when you don a Pub Whisperer pin or a Whisperer Team badge, know that you are part of a movement.
And wearing it is a reminder that this initiative is happening.
