“As a past stipend recipient, I can speak firsthand to the contribution and impact of ISWS projects as they focus to improve the lives of often overlooked communities. The support from ISWS made it possible for me to travel to Guatemala to conduct essential training on suicide prevention and intervention with mental health and lay professionals in high-risk areas in that country. Many of these helpers lack formal mental health education and lack appropriate services while facing numerous other barriers for care.“
