More than 1,000 young people in Germany take their own lives each year. With its creative competition ‘Suicide Is Not the Solution’, the Berlin Telephone Counseling Service aims to draw attention to this very issue and calls on children and young people to develop life-affirming prevention messages, whether as a poem, photo, film, or drawing. The project’s goal is to raise awareness among young people about the complex issue of youth and suicide and to help create a societal climate of openness for affected young people – a climate that enables them to communicate in a crisis situation, seek help, and turn back to life.
