Module #2

Module 2 — Mapping the Collapse: Pillars, Risk, and Context

This module teaches participants to map suicide risk as cumulative load rather than a single event. Participants learn to distinguish risk factors, warning signs, imminent danger, and protective buffers while identifying one small lever that can shift the trajectory toward safety and connection.

Learning objectives

• Use the pillars to describe strain, collapse, and protection.

• Sort risk factors, warning signs, danger, and buffers.

• Recognize how cumulative load stacks across life systems.

• Choose one lever action and one support link.
