From The Archives: Suicide Prevention (2006)

3 06 2007

This is a report I made in October of 2006, on a suicide prevention foundation that was established in a late High School student’s memory.

This report was produced while I was still a member of Sun Devil Television, a student run television station on the campus of Arizona State University. I left the station in December 2006.

Background Information: Josh’s Voice was established in memory of Joshua David Middents, who was a High School Senior at Mountain Pointe High School in Phoenix, Arizona when he committed in November of 2004. His aunt, who attempted suicide when she was a teenager, established Josh’s Voice in his memory. The foundation sells suicide awareness bracelets on the Internet and at Josh Middent’s old High School.

I would like to thank the Middents family for opening their doors- and hearts- to my intrusion and their willingness to being interviewed.
