How does suicide have anything to do with safe spaces and trigger warnings? Did suicide not exist before college started incorporating safe spaces and trigger warnings? If there is a causation relationship between safe spaces/trigger warnings and suicide does this also mean that countries with high suicide rates have a lot of safe spaces/trigger warnings? What about the high suicide rate of teenagers? Trans people? Homeless? Did they all experience the woes of the safe space/trigger warning?
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoWith you (no data available yet) until that last statement. Are 'safe spaces' etc related to relieving trauma (no data available yet)? And yes colleges are responsible for making students resilient. That's the 'job training' part. Many have courses in professional ethics, in responsible management, in meeting deadlines with quality work. These are not incidental to the education mandate, they are central.
- SolaceQuantum 10y agoSpecifically, I am asking about how safe spaces or trigger warnings in college are at all relevant to the occurrence of suicide outside of a college setting. I do apologize for my final note, as I realize it is off topic and I would rather not enter tangential discussion. I've edited it out. If you would like to continue talking, let me know if there is another way to talk (email, etc.)
