How can we reduce the number of teen suicides?

Posted on August 15, 2018

For her Stage 2 major Investigation for Health, student Hannah Thiele researched 'How can we reduce the number of teen suicides?'

As part of her assignment she developed a Web page with the following link: https://sites.google.com/openaccesscollegesa.com/teen-help/home

The object was to inform young people about the causes and risk factors of Teen Suicide, provide information and access to help. It includes a personal story provided to Hannah by a family friend 'Anna'.

She sent the web link to professionals for feedback including a Psychologist, a Chaplain/Counsellor and a High School chaplain and youth worker. Their responses were full of praise.

Well done Hannah!
