Special announcement to support AFSP

BOOK ROYALTIES DONATED TO THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION




In an effort to assist in the fight to educate and prevent suicide a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our new book, Lessons From 1 North: A Guide to Life Outside the Asylum ( http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/lessons-from-1-north-a-guide-to-life-outside-the-asylum/7573958 ) will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The book recounts the author's failed suicide attempt and recovery in a psychiatric hospital where he discovered the real meaning of life. The result of the experience was a dedication to two goals: 1) Suicide Prevention and 2) Assisiting Psychiatric In-Patients in finding public and private housing. The initial response has been overwhelming and the author will continue to travel the country lecturing and fundraising on the issues. Between today and Monday September 14, 2009 50% of the royalties from the sale of the book will be donated. Commencing Tuesday a smaller portion will continue to be donated.


Social Media is amazing...I received this notice via my LinkedIn network.
