El suicidio puede prevenirse | Mayte Herrera Legorreta | TEDxUANL

You can believe in something, believe in flowers. Mayte Herrera addresses a topic that is difficult for anyone to discuss: suicide. Through her own experience, she calls on those who have considered this path as the only way out of their problems, offering them new tools of empathy and compassion that will allow them to reconnect with their loved ones and with life. Helping others saves lives, and we can all do it. President and Founder of the "Let My Cry Be Heard" Association (Asociación Que se Escuche Fuerte mi Grito A.C.) Mother of two sons: Rubén and David Rubén died by suicide on October 5, 2021. In April 2022, she and her son founded the "Let My Cry Be Heard" Association (Asociación Que se Escuche Fuerte mi Grito A.C.) with the primary goal of eliminating the stigma surrounding suicide and, together with community members, seeking the best prevention strategies. The Association currently consists of a team of four founders and more than 30 volunteers. There are representatives in several Latin American countries, including Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. In Mexico, there are representatives in Nuevo León, Puebla, the State of Mexico, and Quintana Roo. Every Tuesday, the Zoom session “Let’s Talk About Anxiety, Depression, and Suicide Without Stigma” is held. On Thursdays, there is a session for parents and family members. Currently, therapy is being sponsored for nearly 30 young people. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
