I believe it is supporting one another. Many look at us and say well "you look so good"; that's the end of story. Not many care to hear our complaining or really want to listen to our pain stories.
Here; we are free to say how we feel; what we feel. There is compassion, caring, loving people here. Our families, friends (those who are still around), just don't want to deal with the downers we might unintentionally pass around.
There are ideas, treatments, passed on to one another. Many have helped one another with their suggestions. Our goal is supporting one another; hoping to learn ways to accept and still find joy in living despite our physical or emotional pain. Supporting suicide is not one of them.
Not sure what type of education you were expecting.
