On World Suicide Prevention Day, Gausus Gyvenimas organized its first public event, titled “Positive Vibes.” In the country with the highest suicide rates in Europe, we brought hope through the arts and media. Right in the heart of the city, people enjoyed great music, theater, and dance performances, as well as a panel discussion on the topic of suicide. Although this is a serious social issue associated with grief and deep emotional pain, Gausus Gyvenimas’s goal was to educate the public about the importance of mental health and provide practical information that can help prevent suicide. To celebrate this message of hope, we all joined together in the Jerusalema dance.
