September is Suicide Prevention Month. We recommend award-winning documentary Greener Pastures to start conversations around resilience and mental health in your classrooms and community. The film follows the travails of four US midwest farming families. It speaks to themes of family, community, perseverance, and the importance of of support for addiction and mental health.
Recall that #Kremlin #Russia began to ban online resources for "propaganda of suicide", and in particular for "descriptions of acts of self-harm or suicide" back in 2013: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD_%E2%84%96_398-%D0%A4%D0%97_2013_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0.

Peter Kyle, our idiot Technology Minister wants to put this dangerous product into every home in the UK.
You could say he's bought the sales pitch, he apparently uses the damn thing to manage his Ministerial day for him, I guess OpenAI will be keyed into important British Governmental communications now, ...they can read everything you tell it.
