Freedom From What Others Think.In this life-affirming video, Sue Austin goes where few have been… in her wheelchair. Refusing to be defined by pity or limitations, she proves that we can’t let ourselves be defined by how other people see us — and that telling our own story sets us free.

Life goes by too fast. Or is it actually too slow? Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg uses time-lapse technology to show us unseen dimensions of life as we know it, from ocean currents to dragonfly wings. You’ll never look at the world the same way again.

They say that the worst pain in life is losing a child. When parents hear that their child is thinking about suicide, or has even tried to commit suicide, they often become paralyzed by the fear that they will say or do something that will lead their child to take their own life. Many parents coming into our suicide prevention programs say “I feel like I am walking on eggshells and don’t know what to do.” Yet, parents are rarely involved in treatment to any great extent. In fact, we have heard from many parents that they have been discouraged from participating in their child’s mental health treatment!
