Under the supervision of the head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kazim Farhan, and in the presence of the scientific assistant, Professor Dr. Abeer Tariq Mawlud, the Multimedia branch of the Computer Science Department organized an awareness campaign titled "No to Suicide". Supervised by the head of the Multimedia branch, Dr. Rana Mohammed Hassan, and the director of the Scientific Affairs and Cultural Relations Division, Lecturer Taiba Waleed Khairy, the seminar was conducted by students of the Multimedia branch on Thursday, 2024/3/14, in the Dr. Imad Kazim hall in the Computer Science Department building. The awareness lecture serves as a call to life and a rejection of suicide, which is defined as the act in which a person intentionally causes their own death. It is often attributed to psychological disorders such as depression due to despair, and the antidote to despair is faith. Therefore, individuals should always have faith in God and derive from it faith in themselves to face their crises with patience and perseverance, avoiding surrender. This principle is affirmed by all heavenly religions, considering the human being as a supreme value whose duty is to love the life granted by God Almighty. The lecture also highlighted the crucial role of the family in raising an individual to be healthy, free from psychological disorders, and capable of overcoming crises with their support and care. It emphasized the necessity of diagnosing cases suffering from psychological disorders to receive appropriate treatment for their reintegration into society. At the end of the lecture, the scientific assistant, Professor Dr. Abeer Tariq Mawlud, expressed her gratitude and appreciation to the Multimedia branch students for conducting this informative student activity.
