Quote, Suzanne Smith: “We were at first intimidated by the thought of creating a video about such serious subject matter. We didn’t feel we knew enough about the subject matter and were afraid we might say the wrong thing and offend someone. As we progressed through the process and gained more knowledge about suicide prevention and the stigma of mental illness we felt more prepared to tackle the project. By the time the public service announcements were complete we felt really good about our involvement. We hope that the work we did might actually help someone.”
