Not so daunting as I thought

by Minna Ikonen

Despite the topic matter, I feel more equipped to remain calm myself if someone needs help in this way.

Better Understanding

by Joan Rice

Although this was only a one hour course, it is packed with lots of information and has given me a better understanding to approach the subject of suicide. Also know that the person contemplating wants to be asked about suicide and starting the conversation is the first step.
