Glad to hear you like them! The proper essay essays don't happen often, but it's more than I've formally written in some time, and I'm especially proud of this one. Think I nailed the structure into something very tight and cohesive.
Yeahhh, that zine is a helluva resource and one that's sorely needed for anyone who's ever had to sit with a friend through that level of crisis. In all honesty, rereading it after the fact, I saw a lot of the roots of the traumakids section in that zine. Suicide may be a specific kind of crisis, but the stuff it describes in there has made me overall better at knowing how to handle mental health stuff of many stripes. Immense kudos to the organizer who wrote it, and ran the initial workshops that built the zine in the first place.
