Description
This study will provide participants with the tools needed to reach out to those who are contemplating suicide or have been impacted by suicide––no matter what age or description that person might be. Through the extension of a compassionate heart and relevant input, you and your group will gain insight into the lives of those who are contemplating suicide, those who are survivors of suicide, and those who are fighting against this tragedy.
