The Power of Choice: Depression and Suicide (Volume 10)

Grades 9-12.

Goals:

• 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.

The Power of Choice with Michael Pritchard is a 12-volume 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 printable teaching guide filled with discussion questions, group activities, and writing assignments.
