Freedom coach, lifestyle hacker, dating consultant, divorce guru, and author Cheron Griffin, felt she had to do something about it. She wrote her own book, “I SEE YOU: Igniting Hope & Preventing Suicide,” her own way. The book is helpful advice and encouragement anyone on the brink of suicide or self-harm can easily digest. Its text is punctuated by the three-syllable refrain, “I see you,” as its passionate, hopeful motif, and ends with the phone number for the National Suicide Hotline.
