Matic je psiholog in preživelec samomora. V govoru razbija stereotipe o samomoru in svetuje, kako pomagati človeku v stiski, za katerega sumimo, da razmišlja o samomoru. Matic has a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and works with youth in distress. He is a survivor of sexual abuse which happened in his childhood. He kept the abuse a secret until he was 27, at which point he had a nervous breakdown and tried to commit suicide three times within a year. At the time, he had already finished his Bachelor's degree and had his first job. After college, he finished his training for psychoeducational workshops on depression and anxiety, worked at the Youth center Cona Fužine, later worked at the Family protective unit at the Center for social work and was a psychologist at the Penal institute Ljubljana. He also passed the professional exam for social care, started his education on the cognitive-behavioral therapy and opened a private psychosocial counseling office called Akcija! (Action!). Through a group within the Brez limita (No limits) Society he aims to develop honest, bold and modern techniques of working with youth, their parents and educators. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
