Thank you for visiting my learning product! The topic I am exploring is very serious and very heavy; my research focuses on youth suicide. I’m a volunteer for a local organization that works with high-risk and at-risk youth, where self-harm, mental health, and suicide are real and serious issues that some of the youth face. I have minimal training in suicide intervention and prevention, so I am using this learning product as way to further my own knowledge on the demographics, risk factors, warning signs, assessments, studies, and frameworks of youth suicide. I truly hope that someone else in this class will benefit from this research as much as I have.
Here is the outline of my presentation. Clicking on each will take you to that page. Feel free to explore. Thank you!
