Last week we launched new research on the NFP sector at our annual virtual event. It was amazing to have so many NFP leaders in one place to unpack the data! A few of our favorite insights include: ?? Gen Z are becoming more committed givers. With 35% saying they're committed givers and 65% saying they're opportunity givers. This has changed from 28% (committed) and 72% (opportunity) 2023. ?? Five in six Australians (84%) are giving financially to charities or not-for-profits ?? 76% of donors have engaged in advocacy for a charity they support You can download the full infographic here:?https://lnkd.in/gWeWX_Kq #NFP #NFPinsights #trends #datavis #advocacy #donor #fundraising

September is Suicide Awareness Month, and every year on September 10th, world suicide prevention day is observed. I will ALWAYS be an advocate for mental health, and suicide awareness. This is a topic I will forever hold close to my heart. In honor of Suicide Awareness Day and Month, here are a few ways you can help someone who may be struggling: ? Don’t minimize or invalidate their feelings. ? Listen. Really listen, without judgement. ? Be an advocate. ? Help them get help. ? Encourage true self care. This is more than encouraging them to take a bath, or drink a coffee. ? Be present. ? Let them know they are not a burden to you. ? Ask them what they need most from you. Do that. ? Point them in the direction of helpful resources. ? Be to them, the person you would want them to be for you in a crisis situation. Above all else, BE KIND. We don’t know the struggles others may face on a daily basis. Be the light in someone else’s darkness. You could help save a life, and not even know it. ??

As an individual who has spent more days struggling with suicidality than not, it is essential that we provide funding to expand research on suicidality so that we can mitigate this devastating brain disease. It is also imperative for individuals to be able to talk about their suicidal thoughts and feelings without judgement so that they can learn to close the door on suicide. #mentalhealthawareness

On this World Suicide Prevention Day, we pause to reflect on the importance of connection, compassion, and support. Suicide is a global crisis, and behind every statistic is a story. A person who was struggling, often in silence. Every life is precious, and it's critical that we foster environments where people feel safe to talk about their struggles and seek help without stigma. But awareness is only part of the equation. We need to ensure that everyone; (not just those in crisis) has access to the right resources, and we must also prioritize the wellbeing of those providing support. If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone. There is help. Resources like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline are available 24/7 to offer support. And let’s remember that it’s okay not to be okay. What matters is knowing where to turn when you need help ??

I did not think about suicide much prior to 2017. Of course, I knew about it but up until that point it had not touched me or my inner circle. Then it did touch me. From that moment on suicide has taken up a spot in my mind, and I think about it more than I would like. The impact of losing someone close to you to suicide is something I was not prepared for. I was on a course personally and professionally, and after that loss I was thrown off trajectory. I questioned my path, I started to believe the worst things in life could indeed happen, hyper vigilance went through the roof. So many of my relationships changed because people did not know how to talk to me about the loss I just had. Not only was I dealing with the loss of someone close to me, but there was this extra layer there that 7 years later I am still digging through. And then…there is the fact that someone I loved felt such despair that they thought the only way through was out of this plane of existence. Could I have done something different, something more? To be honest I am not sure, and I try not to dwell on that. What I do know is that I am open and honest about what happened in my family so that I can hopefully change one outcome, save one life, let one more person stay on this planet to find what they were meant for. September 10th each year is World Suicide Prevention Day. I am not sure about the language around prevention, but what I am sure is that the only way we can move the needle around this topic is to bring it into the light. To talk about the act. To talk about the pain that brings someone to that point. To talk about the pain the people left behind feel. To talk, really talk to each other. One last thought. As you navigate the professional world you likely interact with people struggling. You have the choice to be kind, to support people, to just be human in the workplace. I ask each of you to do just that, be human to another human. ?Work is important, but our collective wellbeing is the key to it all. #stay ?#suicideprevention #mentalhealth #suicideawareness

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Today I think of my cousin Tommy, a soul taken from us too soon as a result of suicide. Not a day has gone by that I have not missed him and wished we could talk. Every year I have kept his memory alive by donating to the #AFSP or participating in their charity walks and raising money to prevent future losses. I have gotten to know this community in a way no one wishes to, as a suicide loss survivor. Through this involvement, I have found peace knowing I have played a part in someone else's healing. The theme for #WorldSuicidePrevention Day for this year is "Changing the Narrative on Suicide," with the call to action "Start the Conversation." "This theme aims to raise awareness about the importance of reducing stigma and encouraging open conversations to prevent suicides. Changing the narrative on suicide is about transforming how we perceive this complex issue and shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support. The call to action encourages everyone to start the conversation on suicide and suicide prevention. Every conversation, no matter how small, contributes to a supportive and understanding society. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of support." - World Health Organization Today, I implore you to think of ways you can actively prevent suicide and raise awareness.
