Student Suicides and Why Young Voices Must Be at the Center

....This shift in narrative is important: it reflects the world we want — where  young professionals are trusted for their sensitivity and fresh perspective , and where treatment begins with  trust, compassion, and dignity , not fear or coercion....

From Social Work to the Law Books During my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in social work, I worked on issues ranging from youth awareness to substance abuse prevention . Those days taught me that knowledge without application is like a library that’s never opened. When I transitioned into law school, I didn’t leave my social work instincts behind. I chose law as a career because it was another ...
