Organization: Council on Aging-Southern California
The workshop will consist of educational and socialization components. The education piece will be an open discussion aimed to educate participants on suicidal risk through statistics, behavior of the victims and culture impact on the victims. The goals will be for participants to understand more about suicidal risk, how to screen the behavior, stay alert and make a right judgment to help reduce the rate of suicide.
The socialization component will require participants to put their hands up with open palms to cover their eyes. The idea of this activity is for participant to experience the world in the eyes of suicidal victims when they are on the edge of committing suicide Lastly, participants will have a chance to role play as both victims and listeners. They will get a chance to practice asking the “right” questions as well as correct approaches in given situations.
