TL;DR: Tell me about a time when you caused or witnessed a radical change in someone's fundamental beliefs or perspective. It can be about any topic. It doesn't have to be related to suicide.
While most people are capable of being influenced, I've very rarely seen anyone's fundamental beliefs changed purely through personal persuasion (as opposed to experience). Eg while I have seen people shift beliefs after experiencing something significant and new, I can't think of a time that I saw someone make such a change after learning new information or hearing an unfamiliar perspective.
That's what I'm most interested in, but tell me about any time you've seen someone change a deeply-seated, foundational view. Did you cause it? Were you the one who changed? How did that change influence things downstream?
