Project Semicolon is a non-profit movement dedicated to giving hope to people who are struggling with depression, suicide, addiction and self-harm.

People draw or tattoo a semicolon on their wrist as a symbol of a conversation continued, not ended.

The movement was founded by Amy Bleuel in 2013 after her father died of suicide when she was 18.
