Former serious self-harmer, Trever Shirin, survived a suicide attempt, changing the course of his life forever. That brush with death caused him to find his mission and purpose in life. Today, as a licensed professional counselor and director of content at Mayfield Counseling Centers, Trever uses Gestalt therapy to promote non-judgmental self-awareness, allowing clients to feel equipped while facing any life circumstance. This suicide survivor and mental health warrior also gives key warning signs on how to spot possible suicidal inclinations in others, especially the youth. In addition, Trever explains how to create a support system where someone who is struggling with feelings of depression or hopelessness can find comfort and encouragement in this safe space.
