“Suicide prevention is an important and personal topic for me. I believe that by sharing our experiences, we can help others, and that was one of the main reasons I decided to volunteer with Gausus Gyvenimas. Talking about mental health is just as important as talking about physical health, so we should strive to have more of these conversations in our daily lives. You have the freedom to create the life you choose, and that is what makes life so beautiful. You can be a change-maker! I like to spend time outdoors, especially near the sea, because water calms me down and helps clear my mind. Fresh air is important for mental health, too… I want people to know that THEY ARE NOT ALONE! There are people who are ready to listen and help!”
