Join @DocForeman, Tony Wood (@Adwww), @BartAndrews, and @DeseraeStage as they chat about using social music sharing platforms, like http://www.spotify.com to help people connect about resilience and recovery, 8/28/16, 9pCT.

This was an idea shared with SPSMers at the American Association of Suicidology’s annual conference this year, and we thought it was great! The power of music, words, and other arts to help people connect and heal is real. Creating playlists and sharing is a great way to engage people, and was an idea initially brought up by youth as a way to engage people with content.

So, with that in mind, those of us from the mix tape and CD generation schooled ourselves at creating playlists, and made different kinds. @DocForeman picked a list of songs she uses to cope with feelings of discouragement and challenge, songs that fuel what her brother calls “relentless bad-assery.” Maybe the songs work for you. If so, listen and share. Maybe you have a different take on playlists. If so, try creating one and posting to the SPSM page.
