Jill Hollingsworth
Program Supervisor of the Center for Suicide Prevention
As the developer of RESPONSE - http://www.columbiacare.org/Page.asp?NavID=99, a comprehensive high-school based suicide prevention program and a Master ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) Trainer, I have focused on suicide intervention for the past 10 years.
I'm now in the process of exploring primary prevention possibilities (so refreshing!) at the middle school level. In particular, I am very interested in developing a supplement to mental health units that focuses on mindfulness techniques since the development of these skills has shown great promise in preventing depression.
