Meaning of the Semicolon
The semicolon being used as a symbol for suicide awareness was popularized in 2013, when Project Semicolon was started as a way for people to express their struggles while choosing to persist.
The semicolon was chosen as the symbol because it is used to continue a sentence that you could have ended.
Although the semicolon is primarily a symbol used for surviving a suicide attempt, it has been used to signify overcoming other challenges like domestic violence, substance abuse, and other mental health issues.
