Develop materials for community education outreach related to a social issue that impacts children and families.

The Impact of Suicide on Children, Teens, and Families

This week, you are going to design a visually appealing brochure or one-page flyer meant to be used for community education. You may use a brochure or flyer template provided in Microsoft Word or elsewhere. Your topic for this should be suicide prevention. Additionally, consider the audience that you are targeting to share this information. For example, if you select teen suicide, be sure your language clearly speaks to either teens or parents of teens affected by the issue, depending on who your intended audience is.

Please ensure your submission includes accurate information based on your research and accurately cites your statistics and any other resources used. You may be creative in your design, though keep in mind the readability of the content (i.e., think about the colors/font used and accessibility).

Assignment Directions

Please be sure to address all of the following in your assignment:

• Introduce the social issue you selected. Include a description of why community education is important in regards to suicide.
• Provide background details on suicide, including reporting statistics about how many people are impacted by the issue, risk and protective factors related to this issue, and so forth. Make sure this information is appropriate to the audience you have chosen.
• Prepare information about what your audience can do about the social issue you are discussing (for example, behaviors that people may be able to address).
• Analyze at least four different ways in which suicide is a public health issue.
• Identify at least three resources (websites, articles, etc.) that your audience can refer to if they want further information. Cite these sources in APA format within your flyer or brochure or you may use a separate reference document.
