Did You Know?
Suicide can impact Everyone – Male or Female. Suicide is the 10th largest reason for death in the United States. More Women attempt suicide than Men. However, Men are 400% more likely to die from suicide due to the more drastic steps they take in their final moments of despair, panic and desperation. Our message is clear – suicide can touch Anyone’s Life.
Aims of “Pause Suicide?”
Using psychology in a new way for the first time to help prevent suicide through mediated technology highlighting vulnerability for intervention – particularly on known vulnerable days. The aim is to create an anonymous platform where People feel safe to interact – providing them with a link back to the World. The interactions in the site will be heavily mediated using language psychology analysis and profiling to help with timely intervention, again, in an anonymous, non-judgmental fashion. The platform will have an easy to use website and App that will be available from the start in:
English
French
German
Spanish and
Italian
Our Modern World and Suicide:
The World of Anti-Social Media Online…
A worrying growth in modern society distress revolves around cyber bullying and People feeling isolated by the false perceptions created by Social Media Worlds. So, from the beginning there will be a lot of resources put into encouraging People to click from Social Media sites directly onto this platform. For example, Someone can be on a site because they lost their job or they feel under huge pressure at work being bullied. This project aims to encourage these People to click from that site to this one. You may have a very unhappy teenager on Social Media who is feeling hugely isolated from their peers. It can be as simple as seeing that they were not invited to a party. Social Media sites have even seen celebrities and their Families being hugely targeted following tragedies, namely involving the recent death of Robin Williams or celebrities who have come out etc. Bullying / LGBT suicide is a massive issue also and the “Pause Suicide” Team are personally aware of People who have taken their own Life because they were gay. The reasons why Someone chooses to take their own Life are endless but We must start somewhere.
Who Does Suicide Affect?
The platform aims to span all ages, backgrounds, nationalities, sexuality, disabilities, health, financial, psychological and any of the other factors proven to marginalize people into high risk categories.
Time Research:
People contemplating taking their own Life are not able to see tomorrow. The aim is to allow People to take one day / now to get over crisis points / dark phases and ultimately to not kill themselves today, or any other day.
How Will “Pause Suicide” Work?
“Pause Suicide” will be completely free and anonymous. It will not matter where You are, what stage of Life You are at or whether You are an Employee or a celebrity etc. This will be a space for Everyone and “Pause Suicide” will be open to you. You will be able to pick a generic User ID and generic e-mail address to start.
Process:
Completing the “Pause Suicide” profile will bring You through Your whole Life. By the time You have finished filling out Our profile You should see the patterns in Your Life that have led to today and be one step closer to a healthier state of mind.
“Pause Suicide” will be a Fully Interactive Online Platform:
People will select a time of the day to receive a message either by e-mail or on a device through the App. Some People may select to do this last thing at night or first thing in the morning. There will be a positive quote of the day which focuses on the future, happiness, success and positivity. They will be asked to give a journal entry for the day of no more than 300 characters – a double tweet! This journaling will be completely anonymous and confidential but the system will analyze the language to ensure the Person is not in too much despair and a threat to themselves. This will be a step wise program that will prompt People to write about key topics and areas of their Life and help them to talk about challenges, things they would like to change and to have the ear and link back to society that they do not have so they do not feel so isolated.
“Pause Suicide” Intervention:
You will be on Our radar and will receive intervention messages either because it is an important or vulnerable date for You or some aspect of Your journal entry shows that You are in a worrying state of mind. For example, the intervention message might relate to issues you are having with relationships, debt, bullying, isolation, anniversaries etc. (anniversary sample below). There are future plans to take this virtual World to a real World meet-up.
