Suicide IS preventable | Shawna Percy | TEDxUW

Are you CPR Certified? What if you could bring that same safety training into the space of mental health? Through her story Shawna walks through how Suicide First Aid can be used to save lives.

After losing her husband to suicide, Shawna Percy took to blogging and public speaking in order to help people going through similar traumas. Her talks and articles continually confront topics such as suicide, mental weakness, resilience, and finding hope even in the darkest of times. Shawna has appeared on CTV, and 100 Huntley Street. She has spoken in front of several live audiences at universities, churches, conferences, and at Ignite Waterloo. She is the published author of Breathe, and a certified suicide prevention trainer. Shawna seeks to deconstruct misconceptions surrounding suicide and mental health.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
