We spent a very long evening preparing for the suicide awareness training at the American Embassy tomorrow. This training is a collaborative effort between our American and Nepali graduate students. It is an interactive training on signs, symptoms, assessment, and intervention of suicidality. This topic is taboo in Nepal and yet they are 3rd highest rates in the world. We are doing ground-breaking work training 3 different groups of young professionals to train others. Embassy training will be for staff & medical students. We have prepared train -the-trainer manuals, posters, brochures, awareness bracelets, pocket cards, and handouts! This evening we all learned so much from one another as we prepared for our training!
