“I believe in the living, loving God who knows us and loves us completely. I think of psalm 139 that says that ‘we’re fearfully and wonderfully made’. Made in the image of God. Every person, no matter what they’ve gone, or are going through, is precious, is of worth.”
Deacon Helen Coleman has been working in suicide prevention and suicide bereavement since discovering that her teenage daughter had suicide ideation. Seeking information and training eventually led to her supporting people in the community as part of her work.
