- It is said that one-in-four of us know of someone who has committed suicide.
- At some point in time, each suicide victim belonged to a family.
- This being so, suicide is an issue which potentially threatens every family regardless of
race, profession or culture.
- Accordingly, suicide is clearly an enemy of "the family" and as such, needs to be tackled
within the family.
The nature of DASI
There are a large number of websites which approach the whole taboo subject of suicide through cold clinical
objectivity.
Doubtless these "academic" sites are the results of much painstaking analysis, research and formulation
by Health Service Professionals, and are excellent as far as objectivity goes.
BUT, suicide is not objective, it is subjective.
DASI websites view suicide subjectively, and unashamedly do so on behalf of all of us going through crises which
could result in a suicidal crisis.

Who does DASI involve?
Every Human Being is automatically involved in this initiative simply because their humanity
puts them and their loved ones at risk of suicide.
Why EMOTIONAL FIRST AID ?
Physical injuries, wounds and scars can be extremely painful, but they are visible, and so treatable.
Mental and emotional wounds and scars can be far worse because they are not always obvious.

DASI (pronounced
the same as the flower) actually stands for the DERBYSHIRE ANTI SUICIDE INITIATIVE. DASI is coming into being as a recognition
that suicide is an issue which needs to be addressed and in the absence of any State initiative needs to be addressed by ourselves.
The sole purpose of this initiative is to try to save just one life - hopefully yours or someone you love and care
about
