RE: [Whaletank Special Announcement] Beyond Bitcoin Hangout #215 - 7/14/17 - (1000+ of Steem in Awards!)

in #beyondbitcoin • 7 years ago

@officialfuzzy - The number of people suffering in silence due to depression often take their lives because they don't have anyone to share their sorrows. I lost a friend last month to depression and hence I had started a Suicide awareness campaign to lend a ear to those depressed souls and be a reason for them getting back their life.

It is time for people to speak up and stand as an example for showcasing their spirit in tough times, such people will be rewarded with token (Whaleshares/beyondbits/ new token we create). This will create a huge platform on steemit and will be an excellant opportunity to give back something to society.

Project/Topic Name/News Piece : Steemit Suicide Awareness Campaign

Relevant Steemit Tag : Suicide Awareness Cause

Appropriate links to share: Steemit Suicide Awareness Alert- Join The Cause

Steemit and/or Mumble account name of Representative/Speaker : Steemit @rideofpassion Mumble : @rideofpassion

How should we Introduce you/your project/your news coverage: A Cause to lend a ear for those depressed souls and save their lives

What is your bitshares account name: ride-of-passion

Kindly provide one chance to discuss the concept with you on our weekly Beyond Bit or whaleshares Hangout!!

    I love this idea but would definitely have to think about how a token may benefit.

    Maybe people telling their own stories of dealing with the suicide of a loved one. So those who are considering it will think about those people who they leave behind who would have wanted to be there for them. :)

      Or maybe rent some real help with the token ( psihological ) ?

      @officialfuzzy - There are few ways we can think of, and finalize on the best way to give out tokens

      1. As @patelincho said, we can select few conselors and offer some real help to heal people under depression . We use the tokens to compensate them for their service.
      2. People may use this platform to voice out their problems due to depression and once they post about it I am sure steemit has lots of wonderful people who would be ready to help them emotionally to recover.
      3. Create awareness by survivors telling their stories. For people who have surived this worst phase of life are the best ones to understand other's issue and stand as an example for them to overcome their present crisis.
      4. The immediate relatives who lived the horror of loosing their loved ones, so as u said people considering suicide will look back at those dependent on them before taking this extreme step.

      We may also invite few more ideas to consider, but this is a large issue and we all go through that phase in life where we come under depression, I was under depression too when my first love was a failure.... But many of them will not be lucky enuf to get people around them when they are suffering in silence....We are creating a huge platform to voice out and address such issues which the world is facing irrespective of what country we come from. One more advantage is none of us are connected personally here, so people will feel secure to share their stories with a stranger where they dont have to be feared of being judged.
