Shinzo Abe’s assassin faces verdict
One of the key points in the trial is how the judges will weigh on Tetsuya Yamagami’s troubled upbringing and motivations for fatally shooting the former prime minister.
Tetsuya Yamagami, assassin of Shinzo Abe, who's father and brother both died by suicide, connects his own previous suicide attempt to his mother's alleged financial exploitation by the Unification Church and subsequent neglect of her children. #suicideprevention

Communities that work against suicide
“We’re not doing this once a year at a Blue Christmas service,” says Michelle Snyder of Soul Shop. “We’re doing this every day.”
“Suicide happens because of loss of hope [and] social connection,” says Michelle Snyder of Soul Shop, an organization that equips faith leaders and congregations to minister to people impacted by suicide. “What if we became a church where no one loses hope and no one is alone?”
