Education workshop held

TERRACE — Jeff Ballou, District Counsellor from North
Vancouver, gave a recent workshop on a suicide preven-
tion program that has been successfully implemented in
North Vancouver Secondary Schools.

The workshop, held Oct. 10 at the Inn of the West, was
one of a number of Special Education workshops attended
by special education teachers and administrative staff,
counsellors, principals and members of local service agen-
cies.

School District 88 (Terrace) i is examining the North Van-
couver program with a view to developing a similar pro-
gram within the Terrace area schools. The need for a

Suicide prevention program was recognized when Terrace

was identified as one of the areas of the province with a
higher than average suicide rate.
