Today I am grateful for and appreciate the significance of a webinar titled "Let's talk about suicide, its causes and prevention" offered by Healing Hearts and facilitated by Dr. Arshi Ali (Registered Psychotherapist). Today's webinar encourages the attendees and listeners for spreading the word in the Pakistani community. I recognized and comprehend its value for a variety of reasons, for instance:

• Today's webinar was over the zoom, highly convenient to join from Pakistan and offer from Canada. No need to travel or drive, just need to monitor internet connectivity for the flow of the session

• The webinar was free of cost for the professionals and the general public at this time of the COVID 19 pandemic. It was a huge relief for the professionals and great support from Healing Hearts 

• Today's webinar promoted and encouraged awareness regarding suicide and its prevention. The taken notion and insight from the webinar:

• WHO definition of suicide 

• Some facts regarding suicide: WHO

• Biopsychosocial model for mental health

• Suicide warning signs

• Suicide prevention

• Strengthen economic support

• Access and delivery of suicide care

• Create protective environment

• Promote connectedness and belongingness

• Teaching coping and problem-solving skills

• Identify and support people at risk

• Protective factors

• This is my incredible journey with the webinar. Find webinars and training sessions that address your personal, social and professional need is the thought of the day
