Pause for Perspective is excited to announce our new initiative, Movie Nights! 🎥🍿

The winter months can be quite gloomy and lonely. So, we at Pause decided that once a month we’ll gather and watch a film together. There will be a cozy atmosphere, sense of community, and a special snack menu at our cafe! Join us and experience the warmth for yourself. 💖

This month’s film is "Hey Jude", a Malayalam film about an autistic man and a woman living with bipolar disorder whose lives change when their paths cross.

Registration cost is Rs. 100/-. All proceeds from this event will go to our donation fund, which we use to provide free therapy to those who cannot afford therapy. DM us to register.

Image Descriptions:
Image 1: Text on light blue background with rainbow borders, reads "Normalizing conversations around suicide. Trigger/content warning"

Image 2: Image contains 2 post it graphics on light blue background with rainbow borders. Text on first post it reads "Having suicidal thoughts is often isolating. Our hope with normalizing conversations is to say It's ok to have suicidal thoughts, and you don't need to hide them. Often, having suicidal thoughts feels scary and overwhelming because of how it is stigmatized. It's important to remember people can have these thoughts for years but still have other emotions. We should also remember suicidal thoughts are not always dark, and even if they are, it's ok for things to be dark sometimes." Text on second post it reads "Lets look at some things to keep in mind when talking about suicide"

Image 3: Image contains graphic of 2 women talking, with arrows to 4 bubbles with text. Bubble 1 reads "People don't choose to have suicidal thoughts." Bubble 2 reads "People with suicidal thoughts don't always take actions" Bubble 3 reads "Talking about suicide doesn't give people ideas, it only helps people open up without fear of stigma" Bubble 4 reads "The thought of suicide can bring up various emotions in a person, including fear, anxiety, relief and a sense of freedom and agency".

Image 4: Image contains graphic of woman in thought, with 2 thought bubbles. Thought bubble 1 reads "Reflection is important for growth. Let's reflect together!" Thought bubble 2 contains 3 seperate phrases which read "How do I feel when I'm having these conversations? What do I notice in my body when I'm having these conversations? What can I do to help normalize these conversations?"

As a part of Suicide Prevention Month, we've put together some guidelines and resources for support during crisis.

Image Descriptions:
Image 1: Image contains search bar on light blue background, with rainbow border. Text reads "How to support someone in crisis. How to be mindful in conversations. How to access help if I'm in crisis. Trigger/content warning. "

Image 2: Image contains white speech bubbles on light blue background, with rainbow border. Title reads "When supporting someone in crisis, remember:" Speech bubbles read "Ask what kind of support they need. Make sure to listen and not just give advice. Don't invalidate their experiences by comparing it to others' experiences, or by bringing up the positives in their life. Support can be non-verbal too (like gentle touch or just being together). Don't make it about yourself by bringing up your story. "

Image 3: Image contains white speech bubbles on light blue background, with rainbow border. Title reads "When supporting someone in crisis, remember:" Speech bubbles read " Provide resources to access help, but be mindful of the person's agency in deciding whether they want to access. Make sure to seek support for yourself as well. Create a community of support, instead of taking on sole responsibility to support. " Sub heading at bottom reads "And if you aren't able to offer support in that moment, that's ok too."

Image 4: Image contains pink boxes on light blue background, with rainbow border. Title reads "Helplines to call when in crisis". Boxes read " NIMHANS Toll free number: 8046110007. iCall: 02225521111 (Mon-Sat, 8 AM to 10 PM). Connecting India: 9922001122 (12 PM to 8PM). Samaritans Mumbai: 8422984528/9/30.

The semi colon is a symbol of strength, solidarity

The semi colon is a symbol of strength, solidarity, and resistance in the conversation around suicide.

This September 10th, our team participated in a healing art therapy technique involving the semi colon.

We painted a large semi colon and covered the semi colon in colorful hearts. These hearts are filled with words of gratitude and hope. We asked ourselves "what makes us happy to be alive? ", and connected this thought with the semi colon.
