When I was 7 years old my uncle decided to end his life, this was a pivotal moment in my life and shaped me. After this happened many more close friends of my siblings also took their lives. Seeing this around me made me want to help and I began to pursue a degree in psychology. In the future I am hoping to work with young children in school therapy. Working with young children will help them to learn coping skills and help with trauma early on. When I learned about the IGYSP I immediately knew this was something I am interested in. I began to do more research and realized how important projects like this are.
