"Live On" Movement A Suicide Prevention Campaign Geared Toward People with Disabilities

The Center for Disability Rights announces the launch of "Live On,"

      

The "Live On" Movement is a disability-led project for people with disabilities to see how worthwhile life is. Life can be hard sometimes, and this is even more true for people living with disabilities. Young people with disabilities face bullying, youth and adults with disabilities can be forced into nursing facilities, and plenty of people and businesses still discriminate against us every day. Whether you were born with your disability, your disability has slowly progressed as you grew older, or you suddenly acquired your disability, the challenges you face are real. But you can get through them!

Some people do not think they can get through the challenges they face, and some people may think there’s no way to live a happy, fulfilling life with a disability, but we know that’s not true. The Live On Movement was created to show people with disabilities the incredible lives they can lead, and all they need to do right now is choose to Live On.

The mission of the Live On Movement is to show disabled people everywhere that life is worth living and to connect people with the resources they need to Live On.
