HERstory

Hi there! 

I'm April Jakubec, founder of AJ Life Consulting. 👋

As a dreamer, I have been disillusioned and very troubled by the world we live in. My journey felt like one of survival in a world where I never belonged. I stopped counting after my ninth suicide attempt. 

Through the years, the traditional suicide "supports" hurt me way more than they ever helped me. I've been hospitalized eight times with forced treatments and medication by doctors who did not know me and would not listen to me. 

I never intended to be alive past the age of 33. 

Now several years later, I'm surprised I'm still alive to say, 

I may always live with suicidality, and that's okay.

And that's because I realized-- I was never the problem. 

Now, knowing exactly what supports I wish were available to me, I'm here to build support alternatives for those navigating the isolating and painful journey of suicidality. With deep curiosity and empathy, my goal is to co-create a rights-respecting world rooted in consent and choice.

This means no coerced treatment, no forced hospitalizations, and no calls to the police

I know all too well how hard living with suicidality can be, and no one should have to go through this alone.

And this is the part where you come in!

Together, let's see if we might be able to create a life and world worth living in. 

(And yes-- I also believe in the right to die with dignity... because life?! Eww!)
