Wow, am I knackered!! This past week has been inspiring, intense, and exhausting. I had the opportunity to go attend the European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour this past week in Tallinn, Estonia.

Yesterday included a series of frustrating moments at work and also the lack of movement on many other things that are rather important to my … More Tomorrow will be kinder
