Suicide: it’s a very sensitive topic that no one really wants to talk about. What makes it more difficult to address, especially those who have lost loved ones to suicide, is that lingering thought that you could have done more. Well, it certainly isn’t as easy as that and that’s why the coordinators from the Youth Resilience and Inclusive Social Empowerment project known as (RISE), organized a workshop on suicide prevention. A group of 54 counselors, social workers and other youth leaders attended. The workshop was held between June 8th and 13th in Cayo and Stan Creek.
