I think we should at least give this idea a try. Those who don't wish to participate in an "accountability" relationship do not have to. It could operate on a very informal basis. To let people know from time to time (via a post on PSB? how?) that they can ask for a "suicide-buddy" (to put it bluntly). Why not? I personally sit on the fence regarding the right of a person to take their own life, especially after the events of this week... But we are here for each other, there's no doubt about that.

Thanks, Phil, let's keep the conversation going... How do you envision it would work?

Best,
Wendy
