Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals

1. Suicidal Youth
2.

  • iPoly Citizen: I would love to have an assembly sort of arrangement with all of the senior class, if not the whole school, about what can be done to help someone who is suicidal. I would like to show ways to notice someone who is suicidal and what to do in the scenario. 
  • Effective Learner: I know that there are many different parts to psychology in general, I would like to become a professional on the topic of suicide by the time I go to college. I know that learning about such a big topic is going to require me to be a life long learner and I feel as though I am prepared.
  • Effective User of Technology: I was a bit stumped when it came to this bullet point because I never really thought of applying technology with the suicidal youth. Come to think of it, learning how to track someone's behavioral patterns with technology would be faster, therefore allowing me more communication time with my patient. 
  • Effective Communicator: Being able to talk to someone who is suicidal requires the best communication skills achievable. This year I will be fully committed to learning the best way to communicate with not just the suicidal community I am hoping to help, but with people in general.
