Project Semicolon is a movement started in order to raise awareness as well as support those who suffer from
depression, anxiety,
suicidal tendencies, or other mental illnesses by using a semicolon to signify that the person suffering from these disorders could have ended their life, but chose not to.
Amy Bleuel founded Project semicolon with this goal in mind: “Project Semicolon is a global faith-based non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and love to those who are struggling with
depression, suicide, addiction, and self injury. Project Semicolon exists to encourage. Love and inspire.”
April 16th is the day that is most widely known for someone to show there support for either loved ones they know are suffering, or for those who live with these illnesses every day. The process is simple, just draw a little semicolon on your wrist. More and more, tattoos have been becoming a rising expression for people suffering.
