Faith Based Program

The Faith Based Program is a three-lesson series developed specifically for church youth groups and possibly Christian-based schools. It is a study in how young Christians support those people who are thinking of suicide, have attempted suicide or have lost someone to suicide. It does not dictate any particular theological views on suicide but allows the youth leader to explore how we look at suicide through our faith. This program is based on Christian principles; however, it is designed to be left open to denominational interpretation.
