re·sil·ience
/rəˈzilyəns/

 

~the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity
~the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness
Resilience is that quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger. Rather than letting failure or tragedy overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes. It’s the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace and financial stressors. It means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences.

It’s likely that you or someone you care about is struggling with depression and or other types of mental illness. The shame of mental illness has silenced many desperate souls. Silence kills. Isolation leaves people feeling hopeless.  We encourage open dialog. The more we talk about depression and suicide, the more lives can be saved.  You’re not alone! The first tool of resilience is being willing to be vulnerable when you need help ~ reaching out for help. 

Are people born with natural resilience? Or do we learn? Both! We thought it would be nice if you could read real, unedited stories from those who have developed resilience through very difficult life circumstances. As you read, notice what characteristics show up over and over again. The stories shared here are real.  People like you have decided to share their struggles and their success. It’s our hope that you find hope in their stories and that you will share your story too.

Live Hannah’s Hope celebrates resilience in these specific ways.

1.  Share your story.  We ask those who have walked the path of pain and survived to share their stories.
2.  #1MinuteOfHope2Cope.  Take a minute to share what gives you hope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i put the idea of suicide in someone's head by mentioning it?

No. 

No one can stop a suicide, it is inevitable.
If people in crisis get the help and support they need, there’s a good chance they wont feel suicidal again.
Confronting a person about suicide will only make them angry and increase the risk of suicide.

Asking someone directly about suicidal intent LOWERS anxiety, opens up communication and lowers the risk of an impulsive act. 

Only experts can prevent suicide.

Suicide prevention is everybody’s business, and anyone can help prevent the tragedy of suicide.

Suicidal people keep their plans to themselves.

Most suicidal people communicate their intent sometime during the week preceding their attempt.

Those who talk about it only want attention.

This is perhaps the most dangerous belief. Those who threaten, NEED the help. Take all signs seriously! Be brave enough to ask someone if they are thinking about suicide and when they say yes, be kind, listen, and help by getting others involved such as a school counselor, 988, SafeUt, a parent, or religious leader.
