I can do that. Below is a ready-to-use plan you can paste into PowerPoint, plus step‑by‑step instructions to build and polish the deck.

I’ll tailor the content and level of detail.
Quick overview
- Suggested length: 10–15 slides (8–12 minutes). Adjust up or down.
- Tone: informative, non-judgmental, supportive.
- Include a brief trigger warning at the start and crisis resources at the end.
