In Norway we have a suicide prevention hotline called "KirkensSOS". It is driven by volunteers and I would say that we do much good!!! We are listening and people reach us 24/7. So I think to write "…yet none of this is doing any good at all." is not true. We become superfluous when your words Zew Ballen become true and the simple man in the street opens his eyes, sees the suffering and reach out a helping hand until then it is good to know, that there is a hotline where you can contact "a simple man". We are not profesional, we do not earn any money, we offer our leisure time, we only try to be a "Mensch". So it feels wrong and hurts to read, that you consider it having no impact. I agree with everything else in your article. Thank you for sensitizing us
