I hope to officially launch the Out of the Silence site on September 9, for National Suicide Prevention Week. I will be writing press releases tomorrow and hope to send them out Friday. Anyway, one of my mentors suggested that I create a video on YouTube in order to further my 'viral advertising' campaign. Does anyone have any ideas regarding what should be in the ad? I was thinking about having kind of a montage of statistics, artwork, and quotes, but I'm not the most YouTube literate person. Our artwork gallery is also a little small at this point, as is our story blog. This could pose a problem in composing the montage. So, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Please also try to submit your stories and artwork. (I'm currently working with my web designer to try to make the submission section more accessible.)
Thank you!

About Caitlin
Hey, all! I'm Caitlin. I'm 15 and, like many of you, didn't start 'living' until about 6 months ago, when I began treatment for the OCD I've had since I was a child. I enjoy photography, graphic design, web design, reading, and... neuroscience. I'm a geek in every sense of the word, but at least I'm happy. I decided to make this website partly for selfish reasons; I needed to prove I wasn't alone. So many sites out there are great, but not many are geared towards teens. I hope you all can find solace in knowing you're not alone. I know I have.
