On its front page, the Boston Globe (4/28, Matchan) reports on the “emerging — and vocal — movement of suicide-attempt survivors who are stepping out of the shadows and speaking out about their experiences.” In so doing, attempt survivors hope to address the social stigma surrounding suicide and encourage more potentially suicidal people to get help. The Globe profiles several such attempt survivors who are now sharing their stories.
