DFI WORKSHOP
tal/emotional health is something easily overlooked because it is not as obvious as physical injuries. The cause invests in professional help for suicidal people that may be facing personal, school, workplace, or community pressures. It is hard to not feel guilty and self-blame for suicides of loved ones, so AFSP provides professional help to those people as well. Overall, I am proud of Garrick for informing the new members about our DFIs really well. The introduction of AFSP is a new cause that I feel is very important because helping close ones with mental health has been something challenging and sometimes scary, but it is worthwhile to have them get better.
