My suicide class presenter from last week showed us a couple of trunk monkey videos. He used these and other really cool videos to get people back into their seats after breaks. Very few stragglers that way.

He would also scream "Pay attention to me, pay attention to me, it's all about me, I'm an attention whore."

I didn't actually learn anything really new about suicide, I had the class 10 years ago when it was new and the presenter was the guy who developed the class. It was free to attend (homeland security money funded the class) and I had a very entertaining two paid days off work, as well as free lunch and continental breakfast. I did buy my own morning coffee, as I am well familiar with the brew served up at the Fire Academy. One of the important things they train the fire recruits in is how to tolerate fire house coffee. I'm not saying it's bad, but they also train the county's HAZMAT people there.
