On November 19 2009, I attended a suicide prevention workshop. This workshop was created since it was suicide prevention week, it taught us the importance of helping people that want to commit suicide. At the beginning of the workshop the counselor showed us a thirty minute film on suicide prevention, this film was about the people that were affected by suicide. In the film I learned that the people that are most susceptible to suicide are college students, this really shocked me because these are people my age. Suicide usually results when a person is depressed, they usually shows signs of depression. After the film we had a discussion about suicide and what can be done to prevent this, to help people showing signs of depression we need to get them to professional help. Although I do not know anyone that had thoughts of committing suicide, this workshop really opened my eyes to what I can do in the future.
