Suicide Awareness and Prevention (3 Hours) [Online\ 24/7]
Suicide affects individuals across all ages and backgrounds, making it a critical public health issue. This 3-hour program aims to raise awareness about suicide, explore its underlying causes, and identify the warning signs. We begin with an overview of global and local statistics to highlight the scale of the problem. Next, we delve into common causes such as mental health disorders, social pressures, and environmental factors. Participants will learn to recognize tell-tale signs like changes in behavior, mood shifts, and verbal cues. The session will also cover available support systems, including hotlines, mental health services, and community resources. Finally, we discuss preventive strategies and ways to offer support to someone in crisis. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and resource sharing, this program seeks to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to help prevent suicide and provide support to those in need.
