It can affect every one of us. Each and every suicide is devastating and has a profound impact on those around them.  However, by raising awareness, reducing the stigma around suicide, and encouraging well-informed action, we can reduce instances of suicide around the world.This year’s World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) theme is ‘Creating Hope Through Action’. It is a reminder that there is an alternative to suicide and aims to inspire confidence and light in all of us; that our actions, no matter how big or small, may provide hope to those who are struggling. Preventing suicide is often possible. Through action, we can all play a role in supporting those experiencing a suicidal crisis or those bereaved by suicide.How to participate in WSPD?World Health Suicide Prevention Day will take place on 10 September 2021.Go to the WSPD website to explore resources, education and gain a better understanding of WSPD - https://www.iasp.info/wspd2021/  Watch the IASP Step Closer Video - https://youtu.be/ndjcJAaOVdg  Light a candle to remember - https://www.iasp.info/wspd2021/light-a-candle/ You can find your host Larissa Russell here;https://www.creativeu.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/CreativeU.ca/ https://www.instagram.com/creativeu.ca/ https://www.pinterest.ca/CreativeUdotca/ You can find the host Larissa Russell here:https://www.creativeu.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/CreativeU.ca/ https://www.instagram.com/creativeu.ca/ https://www.pinterest.ca/CreativeUdotca/ Rate our podcast on Podchaser.

Robert shared about his journey and how he stepped into his passion and why that is important.As a dedicated yoga practitioner, photographer Robert Sturman has increasingly focused on capturing the timeless grace and embodied mindfulness of asana in his work.His portraits, whether set in the lively streets of Manhattan, the expansive beaches and canyons of Malibu, the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the timeless elegance of Walden's New England, or the bleakness of San Quentin Prison, remind us that there is beauty everywhere.His stunning repertoire runs the gamut from yogis perched on rocks surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, to African orphans practicing yoga in Kenya, to breast cancer survivors, bare-chested and scarred. In addition, Sturman has worked extensively photographing war veterans who have embraced the practice of yoga to heal PTSD, in an effort to help change the heartbreaking statistics of veteran suicides each day.In Sturman's own words, "I often think of Rumi's words 'I can't stop pointing to the beauty.' That feels right to me." Sturman's honors include Official Artist of the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, 2010 FIFA World Cup Artist Representing America, and Official Artist 2008 United States Olympics.
