Suicide Intervention Specialist Shawna Percy and I discuss the impacts of suicide, some tools for intervening when someone is thinking about ending their life, and Shawna shares her own story about what motivated her to do this work.

As mentioned in part 2 of her interview (episode 068, to be aired March 25), you can find safety planning worksheets and other resources on her website, www.lifevoice.ca

Shawna is in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, but the workshops she teaches are widely available. You can find information about these suicide intervention and awareness workshops through www.livingworks.net
