Organizing for Suicide Prevention: A Case Study at the Golden Gate
Bridge describes the long struggle to end a tragic history of
individuals jumping from the bridge to their death. Readers learn
how a group of advocates grew and sustained a coalition led by
families touched by suicide, and including prevention supporters,
health professionals, and other interested parties, to build a
successful campaign for a suicide prevention structure at the
Golden Gate Bridge. Central to this story is an understanding that
restricting easy access to lethal means-a simple yet often poorly
understood suicide prevention technique-can save lives. The text
demonstrates how the coalition's advocacy was employed to gain
approval for an access restriction structure on the bridge.
Dedicated chapters help readers understand how to develop a public
campaign to address suicide hotspots or other mental health issues
through community organizing, assertive communications, and a
persistent focus on goals. Balancing the findings of suicide
prevention researchers with practical application, Organizing for
Suicide Prevention is an ideal textbook for undergraduate or
graduate social work macro courses focused on communities and
organizations. It is also a valuable resource for practicing social
workers, community advocates, and community organizers.

of Drawing, author Jennifer Orkin Lewis (@augustwren) sets you up

straight, Lewis divides this sketchbook into 25 of her favorite
subjects and techniques. Doodle faces on objects, patterns on tea
cups, animals in outfits, people in fanciful headdresses and much
more; each new theme is fun and rewarding, regardless of your skill
level. Lewis also nudges you past the blank page by providing
creative prompts and interesting backgrounds to draw on and shows
you how to experiment with markers, gel pens, and colored pencils.
Your own interpretation of her prompts will make your sketchbook
completely unique. Just like her first book, Draw Every Day, Draw
Every Way, this sketchbook has a removable jacket and an exposed
binding that lies perfectly flat.
