When it comes to dealing with the issues of marketing suicide prevention ... "Make Compassion Cool™" is a far better slogan than "end the stigma".

It focuses on the positive and what is needed from us to reach out to someone when they are doing it tough and perhaps dealing with suicide ideation.

Making compassion cool is the next step we as a society need to embrace if we are to save lives.

And maybe the world will become a much brighter place in the process?

When compassion is in place, the stigma on suicide is over.

It was an absolute honour and a privilege to be asked to speak at and receive a big $1000 cheque at last month's Rotary Club of Seaford meeting.

The biggest of thank you's to the club's members for choosing The Whisperer Team to donate the funds to, and everyone who registered and walked the Seaford Rotary Seaside Walk last November.

The $1000 raised will go to train 40 Whisperers in the local community when the program is launched.

Biggest of thanks to President Denise, District Governor Craig, Mark, Deb and the rest of the crew, including Blaze, who made the night so very memorable.

Don't forget the next Suicide Walk will be held on October 13 again raising funds for suicide prevention and mental health.
