Mountain State University officials are hosting a workshop they say will offer insight into the world of young people literally dying to be heard.

At 3 p.m. today, the university’s seventh Forensic Fridays installment — “Just Dying to be Heard: Teen Suicide” — will take place in room 215 of Wiseman Hall.

Dr. Theodore Anglas, a justice studies faculty member at MSU, will present the topic. The session will include PowerPoint presentations, along with experience-based and forensic theory discussions.

The program is free.

Forensic Fridays may not be suitable for children because of some materials’ graphic nature.
