Suicide Prevention Campaign - Conducting SPOT

Suicide Prevention campaign creative concept .There are many causes that can lead to suicide but ultimately this is a choice of the individual. Behind the construction of reasoning that leads an individual to make the decision, is always the idea that has no choice, there is no other way nor alternative. We would therefore remind the person who is always her choice, and beyond that there is always an alternative to such just choose life.

Raising awareness of the service provided by the hotline SOS VOZ AMIGA, currently serving daily from 16 hours to 24 hours. As we aim to extend this period of service for 24 hours. To do this we need to raise awareness by reaching a television SPOT.

Service calls in many different age groups, economic, social and cultural and throughout the country, islands and other parts of the world.

So and at a time when suicide is a serious public health problem, we bet this dissemination project.

We intend to mobilize a number of five supporters for the project.
