We have an important episode. We're discussing the association between chronic pain and suicide. The information you'll learn in this episode may help you screen for the risk of suicide more effectively. It may help you effectively treat suicide, and by learning and sharing this information, you may save a life. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. In 2019, approximately 48,000 Americans died by suicide. In that same year, there were an estimated 1.4 million suicide attempts. Chronic pain is a risk factor for suicide, and research indicates that chronic pain is present in about 10% of those who die by suicide. It's important as licensed healthcare professionals and loved ones of those who live with chronic pain that we learn how to ask the right questions, assess for risk factors, and intervene to help prevent suicide rates. In a few moments, you'll meet Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Joan Rosenberg, who has conducted research in the field of suicide, as well as treated patients in her clinical practice. Before we begin, I wanted to provide you with some information to effectively ask, assess, and intervene in those you feel may be at risk for suicide, especially those who live with chronic pain. First, I'd like to provide you with a shortlist of factors that may increase the risk of suicidal behavior among people living with chronic pain. If you're a healthcare professional, these might surprise you because we see common risk factors almost every day when we treat people with chronic pain. The first one is insomnia. Insomnia is common among people living with pain and also associated with an increased risk of suicide. The next is an over-reliance on passive coping strategies when you recognize or observe that someone is hoping their pain will go away from these passive coping strategies, increasing their risk of suicide. The next is pain catastrophizing, a topic we've talked about in-depth on this show. All of us are well aware of the catastrophizing pain scale, and there are also other scales and self-report measures that identify catastrophizing. It's very important that we include that in our initial paperwork. The next is prescription pain medication access when other factors are present. We're talking mostly about opioids here. It's not just if someone is taking opioids. There have to be several other factors. The factors that you learned about now present. As we're talking about prescription medication, always be on the lookout for what they call the triple threat, which is opioid, anti-anxiety medication, and alcohol use disorders. Those three together, people oftentimes overdose as well as an increased risk factor for suicidality. There are specific pain diagnoses that have been associated with an increased risk, specifically chronic lower back pain. The diagnosis of psychogenic pain, which is medically unexplained pain or medically explained physical symptoms as well as migraine, those three, chronic lower back pain, psychogenic pain, and migraines. Feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, individuals who will feel that they can do nothing to change or impact their pain and believe that positive outcomes are not possible for them may be at an increased risk for suicide, and then finally isolation or perceived burdensomeness. Oftentimes these go together. If you recognize or identify distressed and interpersonal relationships where someone feels like they are a burden to others or express feelings of not belonging, these are associated with an increased risk of suicide. Suicide can look and sound a lot like depression. It's important that we screen for depression. We all know that depression rates are high in those living with pain. There's a simple way that you can screen for depression in your clinical practice, no matter what type of health professional you are. That's with the PHQ-9, Patient Health Questionnaire-9. It's readily available online if you google Patient Health Questionnaire-9. This is a multipurpose instrument for screening, diagnosing, monitoring, and measuring the severity of depression. It includes nine questions. What's great about this is not only does it screen for depression but question number nine is a single screening question on suicide risk. A patient who answers yes to question nine needs further assessment for suicide risk by an individual who is competent to assess this risk that may or may not be you. Hopefully, by the end of this episode, you will realize that screening for suicide is possible. What I also like about the PHQ-9 is it gives you a couple of different cutoff points for mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression. With those cutoff points, it recommends proposed treatment action for each cutoff point. It's Patient Health Questionnaire-9, super simple, nine questions to screen for depression. Question number nine is specifically for suicide risk. With some of that background information, let's bring in our expert guest, Dr. Joan Rosenberg. Dr. Rosenberg is a cutting-edge psychologist known globally as an innovator in the field of mental health. She is a two-time TEDx speaker and serves as a blogger for Psychology Today and has been a featured expert in multiple documentaries on television and radio. As a licensed psychologist, Dr. Rosenberg speaks on how to build emotional strength and resilience, psychotherapy, and suicide prevention. She's a Professor of Psychology at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, California, as well as maintains an active clinical practice. This episode aims to create a roadmap or a blueprint for assessing and intervening with suicide. Without further ado, let's begin and learn about this important topic and meet Dr. Joan Rosenberg.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

How to live a wild, healthy and fulfilled life at midlife and beyond?   The first step is to accept where we are at this moment.

You don't have to spend your whole life in a state of pain and suffering.   Our guest for this episode, Dani Williamson is a functional medicine specialist who helps women at midlife experience radical healing and live wild and well. Her TN based practice, Integrative Family Medicine, uses specialized testing to identify the root causes of symptoms and disease and reverse them naturally.    Dani knows firsthand the role that adverse childhood events and mental health play in chronic health conditions and is on the board of the Middle Tennessee chapter of the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention.

We discuss how to stop trying to force yourself to do things you don't want to do and start focusing on what you want and need to do in your life. We explore the steps that we can take to be more in balance and harmony.   Let's hear about this awesome topic.

This is the first time I have recorded a roundtable discussion on MST.  That's why I enlisted the help of the three women you will hear in this episode.  They were gracious to help me with this episode and to tell their story in hopes that it can and will help someone who may be listening.  When MST happens on a base, it is one too many in my opinion.  It's time to stop talking about it and DO something to prevent this from happening to someone else.

It's been more than 20 years since Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School and killed and injured dozens of people before taking his own life. Since the loss of her son, Sue Klebold committed the next decades of her life to the research of brain health, violence, and suicide prevention. In this episode, Sue not only shares about the moment she learned of her son's death and his final act, but she also shares thoughtful and practical solutions that she believes can help put an end to school shootings in this country, beginning with the key distinction between asking why these things happen, and instead asking how they happen.Author of New York Times Best Seller, "A Mother's Reckoning, Living In The Aftermath of Tragedy"Episode benefitting American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.Subscribe to All The Wiser wherever you listen to podcasts - we're on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and more!

One of the foremost global leaders on social impact and innovation, Sonal Shah has started and led social impact efforts in academia, government, and the private and philanthropic sectors for over twenty-five years.  She is the President of TAAF-The Asian American Foundation (TAAF), a convener, incubator, and funder committed to accelerating opportunity and prosperity for AAPI communities. TAAF supports advocates and organizations committed to AAPI causes so that together they can more effectively take action against hate and violence, and build the infrastructure needed to improve AAPI advocacy, power, and representation across American society.We talk about the huge spike of anti-hate crimes against the Asian American community the past few years, the main focus areas for TAAF, and how far back the history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders goes in the United States.We also talk about our own childhood growing up in Houston as South Asians, how our generation perhaps internalized those feelings of being "the other", and why our own parents may have not had the bandwidth to comprehend racism when they immigrated to this country.Sonal discusses the importance of the Asian American narrative and certain cultural ideas that need to change, her own journey working with Obama and Mayor Pete Buttigieg, what she ultimately wants to be known for, and why she's ready to start a band.www.taaf.org

What life habits keep our brain healthy? How does our mind respond to trauma? And why does the way we talk about suicide and mental health make such a difference to those who are struggling? We discuss all these topics with neuroscience researcher Dr Daniel Almeida. To mark World Mental Health Day on Sunday, Oct 10, 2021, we decided to delve into the science behind mental health. And who better to help us with this topic than Daniel who has been named as one of Forbes 30 under 30 in science. His incredible work as a neuroscience researcher in the Douglas Research Centre at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, involves psychological autopsies to understand the molecular impacts of severe childhood abuse on the brains of individuals who died by suicide. As you can imagine, this episode is full of difficult yet important topics.

Season 3 of Inform & Connect kicks off with a conversation with Carl Augusto, President Emeritus of AFB. Carl served as president and CEO of AFB for 25 years—one quarter of the organization's 100-year history. Under Carl's leadership, AFB forged numerous strategic partnerships and alliances within the vision loss community and beyond to address critical issues and expand opportunities for people with vision loss, including broadening the organization's scope to influence corporate America to make its products and services accessible. He was the fifth chief executive of the American Foundation for the Blind since its founding in 1921. In light of October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Melody and Carl discuss his employment journey, from early in his career through his tenure at AFB. They also discuss public perceptions of blindness, along with Carl's favorite baseball and musical acts, which he also occasionally shares on Facebook. Episode Transcript

191: Wild & Well: Dani's Six Commonsense Steps to Radical Healing Dani Williamson is my guest today, and let me tell you, she has been through so much with her health until she found functional medicine after she was diagnosed with lupus. Today she is thriving! Yes, she is another example that you can overcome autoimmunity!   She's coming out with her new book, "Wild and Well, Dani's 6 Commonsense Steps to Radical Healing."   Dani Williamson MSN, FNP is a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nurse Practitioner program, Dani practices the art of medicine by balancing traditional and integrative therapies. Dani encourages her patients to step out of the realm of “normal” and reach “optimal” health. Dani was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in 1985.  She struggled with chronic itching of her arms and legs for several years, was diagnosed with Lupus in her early 30's and then, not surprisingly, prescribed psych medications to manage her emotions. Not once was she ever told “your diet controls your symptoms” or asked, “what are you eating?” by the 10 specialists she saw over 24 years. She continued eating a Standard American Diet as her symptoms progressed, and prescriptions to treat those increased as well.  It wasn't until she began practicing integrative medicine after graduating from nurse practitioner school that she was educated on the importance of healing the gut. Her story of healing is an inspiration and source of hope to her patients. Dani owns Integrative Family Medicine in Franklin, TN. She focuses on gut, thyroid, hormone, and adrenal health with her patients. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which is autoimmune thyroid disease, is her passion.  Her approach embodies a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual process to healing.  She believes God designed our bodies to heal themselves in our 40's, 50's, 60's or even 70's.  She stresses the importance of eating real food, as well as cleaning up the environment around us one step at a time. Dani is a sought-after speaker at various conferences and workshops where she leads discussions on gut, thyroid, adrenal, hormone, and brain health. She is on the board of Middle Tennessee chapter of the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and believes strongly in addressing issues of adverse childhood trauma and its relation to overall long-term health conditions. Dani is a single mother of two grown children and attends Brentwood Baptist Church.  She loves traveling and participating in medical mission work. She runs a support group for her Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients, offers community education at the clinic and has a weekly Facebook Live show on Sunday evenings named “Sunday Night Service” which addresses various health topics.  She is also the founder of a Facebook community that continues to grow monthly with members from across the world that are dedicated to healing their bodies from the INSIDE OUT:  Inside~Out Healing from Within. Her first book Wild & Well: Dani's Six Commonsense Steps to Radical Healing is being released November 9, 2021.  She believes your health is not rocket science, and healing shouldn't be either.   Please join Dani's email list for her weekly newsletter at http://www.daniwiliamson.com  and follow her on social media.

On the 16th episode of Trauma, But Make It Funny, Bri welcomes her friend from college, Megan Kastner. Megan tells Bri the story about what lead up to her ultimately having to get her colon removed - and there are some twists and turns, people.  Bri and Megan talk through a ton of SHIT, literally, with an emphasis on how important it is to advocate for your own health. This story takes place over the pandemic, so that adds another crazy element, which I'm sure you can imagine. Megan's positive attitude about her new life is contagious, and I hope you feel gratitude after hearing this episode, just like Megan feels gratitude after a chronic illness changed her life.    The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death. AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.  AFSP creates a culture that's smart about mental health by engaging in the following core strategies:Funding scientific researchEducating the public about mental health and suicide preventionAdvocating for public policies in mental health and suicide preventionSupporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicideTo donate to AFSP, visit: https://supporting.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donate.event&eventID=1&language=en

The death of a child is like a roller coaster you can never get off. Jayme from Indy shares the story of losing her 20 year old son Griffin to suicide. Griffin died in September of 2018. This is our final September Suicide Awareness Month Inner-View.  On the day Griffin  left for college he sent a text to his mom. “Don't be sad mama, be happy. God is with me." Thirty three days later he was found by one of his best friends. Jaime still feels his energy. Jaime has her share of good vs. bad days. He was a funny. He was loving. He was a practical joker. He was always scaring his sister, Bailey and making her cry or mad. Griffin loved his friends and family.  Her faith keeps her strong and living. Her ties to the Out of the Darkness walks and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention give her grief and remembrance a vehicle. But there are days when just getting out of bed takes a Mack truck effort. We thank Jayme for trusting us and sharing her story with us. We curate these conversations to perpetuate hope and start a conversation regarding mental health. Remember it just takes one person to make a difference.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. To help spread awareness, we're revisiting this very important episode of Wellness Wednesday released last year.  Therapist and social worker Ashley Hutchinson joins us from San Diego, CA via Zoom chat to share her extensive experience, insights, and resources concerning suicide. Having personally suffered the loss of loved ones to suicide several times, Ashley is passionate about helping others prevent this all-too-common tragedy.  Please listen in and equip yourself with the knowledge and resources that may help save a beloved person's life--whether yours or that of someone you know.  Additionally, Ashley has shared her list of favorite resources for suicide prevention and mental health below:   - American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. They have awesome chapters and walks around the country for fundraising and awareness. You can find them at www.afsp.org. Their website also points people to local chapters to be involved with. I have been participating and fundraising in their San Diego Out of the Darkness Walk for years.  - Suicide Prevention Hotline. Anyone can call the hotline 24/7 across the country for crisis intervention at 1-800-273-8255.  - Ethically speaking, if someone is actively suicidal and has a plan, intent, or means to harm themselves it is important for them or a loved one to call 9-11 ASAP or get to the closest emergency room.  - NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is so amazing. They are one of the oldest mental health organizations in the country. They can be found at www.nami.org. They too have local chapters that are bright and thriving and so welcoming!  - CoDA, otherwise known as Codependency Anonymous, is great for just about anyone struggling with self-esteem and relationship issues. They are a 12 step, self-help organization that stems from the AA tradition.  - Catholic Charities offices across the country offer low to no cost therapy which is LOVELY! Our parish has a therapist and our priest is so lovely; he loves talking about mental health care!  - Give an Hour is a non-profit that couples with therapists across the country who donate their time to offer no-cost psychotherapy to military service members and their families. They too have a special place in my heart. You can find them at www.giveanhour.org.  - The Trevor Project has a 24/7 suicide crisis hotline as well for LGBT youth and their number is 1866-488-7386. They do very life-saving work for so many and I have heard their counselors are warm and comforting.  - National Domestic Violence Hotline. They deal with crisis DV situations and they are a wealth of knowledge for anyone experiencing domestic violence. Their number is 1-800-799-3224.      Disclaimer: The information shared in this podcast is the opinion of the speaker, or speakers.

Singer-songwriter Aimee Mann joins Dr. Mike Friedman on the Going There with Dr. Mike podcast to share her struggle with anxiety and depression. The "Suicide Is Murder" singer explains how her obsessive thoughts can be so powerful and overwhelming, that her depression is almost a response to keep the intensity of her thoughts in check – like a “lid” that keeps her anxiety in check. The Superego Records co-founder also discusses how just as mental illness is devastating when we experience it ourselves, it is also devastating when someone close to us struggles with their own issues. This episode is part of our National Suicide Prevention Month series. Sound Mind's partners at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention also have a number of events throughout aimed at helping you start the conversation about mental health. So check out #RealConvo to follow those events and discussions. And for more information and resources, head to AFSP's National Suicide Prevention Week website.

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, with nearly 50,000 lives lost last year. And while suicide is often a taboo topic, prevention is possible, but it requires intervention from friends, family and community members. In this episode, we speak with Meghan Goldbeck and Denita LeBlanc about the important work the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention is doing to help eliminate the loss of life due to suicide.

We live in a polemic world of clashing misinformation. Especially about hormones. Including testosterone. Too many men are taken off Testosterone (T) if they get a diagnosis of prostate cancer or heart disease even though the science shows otherwise. Today's interview is with Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, Harvard urologist and world expert on Testosterone, who has done much of this science. This is a must hear conversation on hormones and health that you will want to share with your physicians and patients. Dr. Abraham Morgentaler Abraham Morgentaler, MD is an international authority on men's health and a pioneer in the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men. Dr. Morgentaler's research is credited with reversing the decades-old belief that testosterone therapy is risky for prostate cancer. Dr. Morgentaler graduated from Harvard College in 1978 and Harvard Medical School in 1982. He completed his residency in 1988 through the Harvard Program in Urology, and then joined the faculty of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. He is currently an Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery (Urology) at Harvard Medical School. In 1999, Dr. Morgentaler founded Men's Health Boston, the first center in the US to focus on sexual, reproductive, and hormonal health for men. Dr. Morgentaler was the recipient of the New Investigator Award in 1994 granted by the American Foundation of Urological Disease. Publications Dr. Morgentaler has published over 120 scientific articles on testosterone, prostate cancer, male sexual dysfunction, and male infertility. His work has appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, The Journal of the American Medical Association, Cancer, and The American Journal of Medicine.

It has been a long time since we ve welcomed back Earl Harrison, and HIMS, to our BBQ convention coverage microphones. A lot has happened since ATIA20, and a lot has happened to Earl specifically. JJ chats with Earl Harrison, National Account Manager for HIMS, about his return to the company after a scary bout with the virus in November of 2020. The pair then move along to a deep dive of the newly announced BrailleSense 6 notetaker. Topics discussed cover a wide range of questions that were sent in by our fans on Twitter. Tune in, or read below, to learn a physical description of the product and some of the general menu structure. Earl provides some insight into the new approach with the BS6, how this device differs from the Polaris, and he addresses the Android update elephant in the room directly.

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Dennis Gillan.  Dennis is the Executive Director at Half A Sorrow Foundation, as well as an advocate for mental health and a speaker. We will be discussing a very tough subject today, suicide.  But this topic needs to be addressed so that we can reach more people and help stop the cycle of pain that leads to suicide, and show people how important it is to take care of your mental health. Dennis is not only an advocate, but he has also lived through the pain of losing family to suicide. By hearing his story and how determined he is to help those around him work through their issues and learn to handle life's hard times without resorting to suicide, further justified to me how important mental health really is.  It was a very eye-opening conversation, and all I can say is that we are blessed to have someone like Dennis to help guide all of us on how to support our mental health, as well as the people around us. Main topics we discuss: Risk factors Warning signs Positive Coping Skills Mental Health Awareness To learn more about Dennis, visit his links below: Dennis Gillan Instagram Dennis Gillan Facebook Half a Sorrow Foundation Links for suicide prevention: American Foundation for Suicide Prevention www.afsp.org  National Alliance on Mental Illness www.nami.org Mental Health America https://mhanational.org/  Safety Plans:  https://dennisgillan.com/safety-planning/ To learn more about my coaching, photography, podcast, and to stay connected, visit me at: Alisha Crossley Website Alisha Crossley Photography Website Alisha's Amazon Favorites List Alisha Crossley Photography Instagram Alisha Crossley Official Instagram The Artisan's Advantage Coaching Program  

It's time for another visit with Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins Tom this week with her review of Single Carrot Theatre's production of Every Brilliant Thing, a solo show being performed outdoors in multiple neighborhood venues with a rotating cast of three SCT actors. Co-written in 2016 by British playwright Duncan MacMillan with Irish actor Jonny Donahoe, Every Brilliant Thing explores the lengths to which we'll go for those we love. Within the play's life-affirming and joyful storyline, audiences are asked to help tell a moving story of a young child's hopefulness and resilience, despite contending with an emotionally unstable mother. Co-directed by SCT's Paul Diem and ensemble co-founder and artistic director Genevieve De Mahy, the play features rotating performances by SCT ensemble members Matthew Shea, Lauren Erica Jackson and Meghan Stanton. SCT's fifteen performances of Every Brilliant Thing run through September 26th, during Suicide Prevention Month. To spotlight the issue and provide resources for those seeking assistance, SCT has partnered with three mental-health support organizations: the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, On Our Own of Maryland and B'more Clubhouse. People in immediate need of help may also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. For more information on Single Carrot Theatre's Every Brilliant Thing, click here.

Listen on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms. September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Ever since the pandemic hit, suicide rates have increased dramatically. Workplace stress and job strain is a leading cause of suicide for many people. In this week's podcast, host Neal Bloom talks with Melani Gordon, program director at Techstars, and Jennifer Exum, president of JRE Career Consulting, on grappling with mental health issues and how to help the startup community through resources and therapy.  Before we introduce the guests, we want to share the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255. If you're thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, please call 1-800-273-8255. Back to our guests — Melani is an avid supporter of providing resources and support for mental health issues. She has her own history of losing her younger brother to suicide, and wants to change the stigma of talking about mental health and going to therapy. She is very active in helping certain communities where she can, and recently joined board for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in Nevada. Jen has worked in human resources in San Diego for 15 years, and has consistently helped startups in the tech space. She pivoted her HR skills to become a career coach, and helps people talk about work challenges and find an appropriate place for them. She is constantly learning how to take care of others while also making sure she is focusing on self-care for herself.  The pandemic hit Melani's company Evergreen, heavily, and she was forced to reorganize her company and let people go. As she faced her own burnout, she realized she had nothing left to give, and needed support of her own. Jen was already part of Melani's team prior to COVID-19, and was aware of the necessary changes that needed to be made. She coached people who were leaving and helped them in their career transition and with therapy. Thanks to the investment Melani made in making sure her employees had a therapist,, she was able to provide resources for those going through a hard situation. She emphasizes that leaders should take a crucial look at stigma in mental health and work to provide resources in the workplace.  Listen in to Melani and Jen share the struggles employees go through in the office, how to create a healthy and transparent work environment that integrates mental health, and the importance for CEOS and executives to lead by example in taking care of themselves and others.
