LECTURE: “CONQUER YOUR CRITICAL INNER VOICE”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to concerns about the national youth suicide rate, COSWB sponsored a lecture on suicide prevention by psychologist Lisa Firestone entitled \u201cConquer Your Critical Inner Voice.”<\/p>\n

As reported in the Daily Nexus, “Firestone, a violence and suicide expert and director of research and education at the Glendon Association \u2014 a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and training people about mental health \u2014 said students often underestimate the pivotal relationship between a person\u2019s critical inner voice and suicide.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe critical inner voice plays a part in influencing and directing our behavior in a lot of ways,\u201d Firestone said. \u201cThat makes us less productive and take less chances and be less invested in things.\u201d<\/p>\n

She advised students to monitor the critical inner voice and not listen to it when necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
