Thanks - request for advice

[Chris Corrigan]

Alison, you have pointed to a major benefit of this community and other
online communities that are supportive of each other.  Last year, as I was
planning an appreciative summit on Aboriginal youth suicide, I put out a
call on my weblog for folks who might be interested in bouncing ideas
around.  The responses I got, which included ideas from India, Ireland, the
UK, the States and elsewhere were a huge boost for my client who suddenly
felt connected and cared for in a way they had not experienced before.

"You mean people in India are helping us do this???"

There is so much to be gained by sharing and asking for help...pay it
forward!

Cheers,

Chris
