Description

For grades 9-12

DESCRIPTION

This program, which was videotaped in two high schools still reverberating from recent suicides, presents a clear minded look at what to do if you or someone you care about is at risk. Host Michael Pritchard and teens in Phoenix and South Bend, Indiana identify the signs frequently exhibited by people who are at risk for suicide and discuss the recommended procedures for intervening. In addition, they examine ways of coping with the depression and stress that often leads to suicide, and encourage people to ask for help when they feel themselves at risk. As one student emphatically puts it, "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

OBJECTIVES

To sensitize young people to some of the warning signs of suicide. To provide some guidelines for how to respond to a potential suicide victim. To suggest ways of getting help when they, or someone they care about, is at risk.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Power of Choice with Michael Pritchard is a 12-part youth guidance video series aimed at empowering teenagers to make good choices in their lives. It teaches young people that they have the power of choice, that they are responsible for the choices they make, and that they owe it to themselves to choose the best.

Used as a springboard for group discussion, The Power of Choice is highly effective at triggering teenagers to talk openly about their personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and to look critically at how they make choices. Each program comes with a companion guide filled with discussion questions, group activities, and writing assignments.
