BUFFALO, NY—February 5, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) on November 27, 2024, in Volume 17, Issue 1, titled “Neurocognitive disparities: investigating ethnicity and mental health in rural aging adults.” Researchers Carol Fadalla, Jonathan Singer,, Peter Rerick, Lauren Elliott, Elisabeth McLean, Sydnie Schneider, Lauren Chrzanowski, Veronica Molinar-Lopez, and Volker Neugebauer from Texas Tech University and the University of Central Oklahoma studied how depression and anxiety affect memory and thinking skills in Hispanic and non-Hispanic White older adults living in rural areas. They found clear differences in brain health, with Hispanic older adults scoring lower on tests of memory, attention, and problem-solving, even when their mental health was similar to non-Hispanic White participants. This suggests that Hispanic older adults may face unique challenges that affect their brain health, highlighting the need for support programs tailored to their specific needs. As the U.S. population grows older, more people are being diagnosed with conditions like Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other memory-related illnesses. This issue is even more serious in rural communities where healthcare services are limited. Hispanic older adults, who make up a large part of the rural population, are at an even higher risk of developing these brain health issues. In this study, researchers analyzed data from over 1,400 adults aged 40 and older from rural communities in Texas. Participants completed tests measuring memory, problem-solving, and attention, along with surveys about depression and anxiety. While depression and anxiety were linked to poorer thinking skills, they did not fully explain the brain health differences between Hispanic and non-Hispanic White participants. In fact, ethnic background alone explained about 20% of the differences in brain health, showing its strong impact on cognitive performance. The study also found that other factors, such as lifelong stress, limited access to healthcare, language barriers, discrimination, social isolation, and fewer educational opportunities, may contribute to these brain health differences. These challenges seem to affect Hispanic older adults more, increasing their risk of memory and thinking problems as they age. The researchers emphasize the need to look beyond mental health to fully understand brain health differences in older adults. They recommend that healthcare providers consider social, economic, and cultural factors when developing programs to support cognitive health. Adding memory and thinking tests to regular checkups could help detect early signs of cognitive decline. “Culturally tailored interventions targeting risk factors for neurocognitive impairment in Hispanic rural aging adults are imperative to mitigate neurocognitive disparities.” By understanding the unique challenges faced by Hispanic older adults, programs that better support brain health can be created. Involving local community leaders in designing these programs can make them more effective, helping all older adults maintain their memory and thinking skills as they age.

In this hilarious episode of Comes a Time, Mike and Oteil dive into stories from Oteil's recent tour, including an epic night where he dressed up as Macho Man Randy Savage. Oteil describes committing fully to the outfit, despite how hot and restrictive the costume was, and cutting promos in character as he made his way through the crowd to the stage. He even had his tour manager Jake come out as Jake "The Snake" Roberts for the full WWE experience. Mike is thrilled to hear about Oteil embracing his silly side on tour. Mike and Oteil discuss the unique acoustics and visual experience of playing the Las Vegas Sphere, a brand new, state-of-the-art immersive venue opening soon. With no on-stage amps or monitors, the venue itself becomes the sound system. They fantasize about collaborating with visual artist Jonathan Singer to create a mind-blowing psychedelic show inside the Sphere. Oteil also shares stories of combat gigs dealing with bad sound, and how veteran performers like Elvin Jones project their sound to the back of big rooms. Looking ahead, Oteil only has one gig on the books for the rest of the year - two nights opening for Bob Weir in Florida. Otherwise, he's focused on spending the holidays with his family. Mike has stand-up shows across the country leading up to the release of his new comedy special "Don't Let Me Down" on YouTube on November 9th.

“Lord you have been our refuge from one generation to another" (Ps. 90). The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA 2D74 21 Pentecost (Proper 24A) 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Eucharist Sunday 22 October 2023 Exodus 33:12-23 Psalm 99 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 Matthew 22:15-22 1. Where is God hidden? Beth and Jonathan Singer, the senior rabbis at Temple Emmanuel feel like big siblings to me. This is the ninth year we have been friends and I admire them very much. On Thursday for lunch they convened a group of 13 religious leaders (half Jewish and half not Jewish) to talk about the recent violence in the Middle East. They opened the conversation by sharing their deep concern for the people who live in Gaza, and their support for a two state solution to the diplomatic crisis. They also talked about the terrible pain they are feeling, about friends with family members who are being held hostage in tunnels under the ground. I heard about many funerals, some for young people. Beth said that she hoped that together we would really speak from the heart, even if this lead us into uncomfortable places. All the Jewish leaders spoke, then most of the others except me. Jonathan said, “what do you have to say Malcolm?” Frankly I did not want to say anything. I have never been to the Middle East and did not feel I had much to add. It is difficult to talk about how horrifying and inhumane the terrorist attacks by Hamas are and yet at the same time to recognize that the situation for ordinary people in Gaza seems impossible. I told them that our community is connected to Jewish people and Palestinians too, that every day we pray for peace, that we long for peace. This seemed to understandably upset one of the other rabbis who I don't know as well. She said that peace is not enough. After the terrible violence, after the innocent people who have been murdered, something has to be done immediately to make things right. I think all of us felt the tension, the anger and despair, as she emphatically said that prayers are not enough. We say that here too – when we talk about the epidemic of gun violence in America. It felt like we had moved far away from the Hebrew prayer of blessing before the meal. God is not just hidden in violence and inhumanity. God can seem hidden to us in our personal pain and fear, and in our humiliation when we have said the wrong thing.

In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast [Hosted by Gregg Goldfarb], Jonathan Singer explores the importance of protecting digital assets and the role of cyber liability insurance in mitigating the risks associated with cyber threats. He highlights the recent increase in cyber-attacks on law firms and emphasizes the need for companies to prioritize cybersecurity. Jonathan discusses the vulnerabilities exploited by hackers, such as sight challenges and hearing issues, and the assistance features built into web programs to aid individuals with disabilities. He also emphasizes the need for small businesses to invest in cyber liability insurance, as ransomware attacks and data breaches pose significant risks. Jonathan shares a personal experience of a cyber attack and how cyber liability insurance could have provided relief during the ordeal. So, Let's Cut to the Chase! Here are 10 Key Takeaways you will hear from Gregg and Jonathan's Conversation: Digital assets, including personal identifiable information, must be protected from cyber threats. Cyber liability insurance can assist businesses in handling the financial and negotiation aspects of a cyber attack. Companies need to prioritize cybersecurity, regardless of their size or industry. Remote work has increased the importance of personal computer and email security. Small businesses should consider investing in cyber liability insurance to protect against ransomware attacks and data breaches. Compliance and proactive measures are crucial to prevent reactive situations and minimize cyber risks. Cyber liability insurance coverage is evolving to address emerging cyber threats. The healthcare industry and public entities face complex challenges related to cyber threats. Cyber liability insurance negotiates ransom payments and provides relief during cyber attacks. The constant evolution of cyber threats requires continuous awareness and preparedness. Thank you, Jonathan Singer, for sharing your expertise on cyber liability insurance and the evolving cyber threat landscape. As businesses navigate the digital realm, it is essential to prioritize cybersecurity and consider the benefits of protection through cyber liability insurance.

Childhood is supposed to be filled with good times and laughs—but of course, some children may experience a significant loss during their childhood or adolescence. It's actually more common than you might think. According to the Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model, as of 2021, one in 14 American children will experience the death of a parent or sibling before the age of 18. Still, it's not easy to talk about grief with adults, let alone kids—but as the key adults in our children's lives, we need to be able to step in and navigate ethe thoughts and feelings that they are experiencing as they cope with their loss. They likely will have many questions when a grandparents, parent, sibling or other close family member or friend dies. They might wonder if they are at fault, if they are safe and who will make their grilled cheese sandwich and take them to soccer if the person who passed away was the one who did those things for them. When we shut down, don't talk about grief and death with kids or make the mistake of assuming if they aren't talking about it, they must be fine, kids can wind up filling in their questions with their own answers based on misunderstandings and incorrect information. We need to help them get the conversation going through a variety of techniques that allows them (and also us!) to manage grief in productive ways. We've discussed talking about death and grief with Joe Primo, in the past, and we've talked about suicide with Dr. Dan Reidenberg and Dr. Jonathan Singer—and now we will discuss grief through a new lens with Katie Lear who uses child-friendly activities to comfort kids and help them to overcome sadness, fear and loss.

The rate of suicide in children is rising sharply, not at a true crisis point. It's something we worry about as parents, and rightfully so. Especially when we're talking about a marginalized population like neurodivergent kids. Conversations with our kids about suicide are paramount, but often avoided because it's a really hard topic to think and talk about.  In this episode, Jonathan Singer, Ph.D., LCSW joins me to talk about suicide. As an expert in the field, Jonathan shares the latest statistics, why the epidemic is increasing, and what we can do about it. He also provides examples of the conversations you should be having with your kids.

Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and celebrated worldwide, tonight is Burns Night. Each year Burns Night commemorates Robert, the beloved poet born into a poor Scottish family of farmers. A typical Burns Night includes live music, poetry readings of Burns masterpieces, and a traditional Scottish meal of Haggis, Neeps, and Tatties. Now, gardeners have a soft spot for Robert Burns. His 1794 poem 'Red Red Rose' starts out with the familiar verse: "O my Luve's like a red, red rose..."  And gardeners have always loved Robert's poem “To a Mountain Daisy.” with the line, “Sweet floweret of the rural shade!  By love's simplicity betrayed” Of course, the way to end a fantastic Burns Night Celebration is to sing Robert’s most famous poem, which has now been set to music: Auld Lang Syne.   January 25, 1862 On this day, the English naturalist, geologist, and biologist Charles Darwin received a box of Orchids. Now after sorting through all of the flowers, one Orchid, in particular, caught Charles' attention: the Angraecum sesquipedale ("ang-GRAY-kum ses-kwah-puh-doll-lee"), commonly called Darwin's Orchid, the Christmas Orchid, the Star of Bethlehem Orchid, or the King of the Angraecums. An epiphyte (meaning a plant that grows on other plants), the Darwin Orchid, was initially discovered by the French botanist Louis-Marie Aubert du Petit-Thouars in 1798. When Charles first laid eyes on this Orchid, he suspected that a then-unknown moth with an almost 14-inch long proboscis must have co-evolved with the Orchid to pollinate it. Many people scoffed at this - a moth with a 14-inch tongue?!  Sadly, Charles didn't live long enough to see his prediction come true. It wasn’t until 21 years after his death, in 1903, that a moth was discovered with a proboscis that could perfectly reach the 13.5-inch nectary, and Charles’s prediction was proved to be correct. Once the moth was officially discovered it was named predicata for "the predicted one" Incredibly, it took nine more decades for scientists to observe the moth pollinating the orchid.  In 1992, a German entomologist named Lutz Thilo Wasserthal traveled to Madagascar, where he captured two moths. After placing the moths in a cage with the orchid, Lutz photographed them pollinating the flower - and it happened just as Charles Darwin imagined it would, after receiving the orchid on this day, over a century earlier.   Unearthed Words "Neep” is the Scots term for the rutabaga, the root vegetable known as swede in Britain. Neeps and tatties (dialect for mashed potatoes) are the traditional accompaniment to haggis, served on Burns Night (January 25). Recipes vary, but butter and a little spice such as nutmeg or powdered ginger are common additions. All, of course, must be washed down with a glass of whiskey. — Lorraine Harrison, garden writer, A Potted History of Vegetables   Grow That Garden Library Botanica Magnifica by Jonathan Singer This book came out in 2009, and the subtitle is Portraits of the World's Most Extraordinary Flowers and Plants.  In this out-of-print book, Jonathan Singer shares 250 of his stunning photographs of rare and exotic plants and flowers "in large scale and exquisite detail, in a manner evocative of Old Master paintings." “The original edition of Botanica Magnifica, consisting of five lavishly hand-bound volumes, was limited to just ten copies, the first of which was donated to the Smithsonian Institution.  Botanica Magnifica is one of the few natural history works ever to rival Audubon's magnum opus in its scope and artistry.  Singer’s remarkable images are bound together in this beautiful hardcover with slipcase, baby-elephant folio of Botanica Magnifica.  This volume is organized into five alphabetically arranged sections, each introduced by a gatefold page that displays one extraordinary plant at a luxurious size.  Each pictured plant is accompanied by a clear and accessible description of its botany, geography, folklore, history, and conservation.” This book is 356 pages of one of the most impressive volumes of botanical photography ever printed. You can get a copy of Botanica Magnifica by Jonathan Singer and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $62   Today’s Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart January 25, 2002 On this day, the Vancouver Sun shared an article by Steve Whysall called Three R’s Hold the Key to Garden Renovation. The three R’s are: Restore, Renovate, and Revitalize. Here’s an excerpt: “To pull it off, you have got to be honest. You need to look at your garden without sentiment or romanticism and admit (painful as this may be) that things have not worked out as planned and that changes are needed. For help, you could call in an expert. Someone like Nenagh McCutcheon, of Langley, is now a specialist at renovating and upgrading gardens that have gone astray. At one time, Nenagh was a copywriter in advertising… She is now one of Vancouver's ace garden designers. For example, in West Vancouver, she came to the rescue of a waterfront garden grossly overgrown by red roses and mugo pines. "Most of it had to go," says Nenagh. "To renovate, it's usually a case of digging up 80 percent of what's there, everything that can be lifted and turfing what you don't want, replanting what is worth recycling, and then bringing in new stuff."  What are the signs that a garden needs a makeover?  Loss of structure is the most obvious, Nenagh says. "It's a sign things are wrong when trees and shrubs are too big for their location. Or paths are overgrown. Or arbors and arches are lost under mounds of foliage. All these are symptoms that a garden has lost its identity."  Loss of color is another clue.  "Perhaps a tree that once had a small canopy now casts so much shade that instead of growing roses, you have to start planting hostas."  Or perhaps plants that were once a comfortable distance apart have grown too close, and the effect is jarring, she says. The loss of a sense of peace and tranquility is another sign. "And, of course, there is always the fact that you may be simply bored with how your garden looks."  Step one is to evaluate what plants are worth keeping.  Some will be too big to move.  Some can be "shovel pruned" dug up and tossed out. The next step is to prune.  Intelligent pruning can change things dramatically. Not only can you end up with a more attractive plant, but the pruning will also let in more light and air so other plants can thrive. [Another step is to remove old or unwanted plants.] "When you lift plants, it gives you the opportunity to revitalize the soil. Over time old soil can become sour and compact. When you renovate, you empty the border and can bring in new soil."    Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Let's face it, 2020 has been like the toxic, chaotic boyfriend who won't go away.   I wish I had the definitive answer for how to get him out of all of our lives, but I don't. What I do have, however, is a collection of podcast episodes I've been creating over the last 5 years to help you learn ways to conquer the chaos in your life. So, since chaotic 2020 needs some extra resources to get conquered, I've put together a sampling of some of my favorite episodes for you. There are so many resources right here for you:Becoming more Resilient: Christian Moore is a guy who learned how to overcome a learning deficiency, low self-esteem,  and hopelessness about the future to now teach both adults and kids about how to be resilient. Christian was raised on the streets with little guidance. The love of a neighbor helped him conquer his childhood demons. His book, The Resilience Breakthrough, can be found on the CTC Bookshelf, and his program, "Why Try?" is implemented in over 12,000 organizations across the US and Canada. Listen to what he has to say about the pow  er of resiliency.  Virtual Reality Treatment for Phobias and Combat Trauma: The Virtual Reality Medical Center is equipped to help you overcome your every fear, utilizing virtual reality techniques.  They even work with the military personnel, both pre & Post deployment to help decrease the incidences of long-term problems from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Financial Compatibility for Couples: Jeff Motske, a Certified Financial Planner and CEO/President of Trilogy Financial has been helping couples explore their relationship with finances for decades now. His book, Financial Compatibility for Couples explores how couples can assess, talk and plan about their financial future, even when big discrepancies lie in personal viewpoints on the subject. Hear what Jeff has to say about what a couple needs to do if one is a spender and one is more frugal. (get the book and take the compatibility quiz right here!).Suicide Prevention with Dr. Jonathan Singer:  A few years ago, I met Dr. Singer at the  Podcast Movement conference for podcasters. Dr. Singer has been hosting the Social Work Podcast for about a decade, but he is also one of the leading experts in suicidology in the US.  I had him on the show for a couple of reasons. One was  to talk about how to recognize suicidal behavior in children. The other reason was to help me share my experience as a survivor of a sibling suicide.  I have rarely talked publicly about my experience with my brother's depression, so I asked Dr. Singer if he could help me tell the story. This episode is full of so much necessary information if you or a loved one struggles with suicidal thoughts. Sharing this episode could help save someone's life. Check out Dr. Singer's book, Suicide in Schools. Post Traumatic Recovery:  If you follow me on Facebook, then this next guest probably wont be a surprise as I think I have this episode with my conversation with Ret Fire Chief, Matt Shobert,  100x more than others just because it's tough to find another person who has lived through what he has. He's a real life Super Hero to himself when his accident happened, but also now to other fire fighters as he tries to advocate for better mental health, and specifically, PTSD awareness among his fire fighter brotherhood.  Follow Matt & his trusty sidekick, Butters the PTSD Firedog on Facebook.*Here's a link to a video where you can also hear from Matt's wife, Tami, to hear a bit about her experience through this traumatic event and the aftermath.Before we get into my Life with Suzy update, I want to also give a quick shout out to my friend, and ADD Crusher, Alan Brown. Alan is the Mess to Success Entrepreneur who now helps others embrace their Attention Deficit traits in order to live productive and purposeful lives.  Another quick shout out to my therapist colleague, Quintin Hafner. Quintin took his onw life experience, coupled with his MFT training AND his jiu-jitso training to write the marriage handbook for men, The Black Belt Husband. I love how Quintin found a new way to introduce relationship skills training to men. I found this book very helpful and I'm sure you will too. 'Ok - finally, last but not least, there is the Suzy update.  My original episodes I posted about Suzy, "My New York Story" and "The Suzy Chronicles", are still my top 2 most listened-to episodes. Im thinking you'll be interested in a Suzy update. Well, Suzy is doing amazing!!!!  I share with you about all the great things she is doing and learning at The Meetingplace Clubhouse,  her 85lb weight loss and subsequent surgery to help her be even more healthy post weight loss. I also tell you about some of the struggles with the system we are involved with: Medi-Cal Insurance fails as well as random Social Security attempts at 30 year old overpayments. Our situation is unique, yes, in that I am her parent, sister, caretaker, financial support, but we know others are out there in similar situations. That's why we decided to launch a new podcast, My Life with Suzy. When I say "we", it will primarily be me , telling the stories of our life, but Suzy is there by consent and occasionally to share her own perspective. I think it will be cathartic for me as well as I hope to help others feel less alone in their unique situation.

Suicide is a tough topic — it can feel frightening, and sad, and hard to talk about — but it’s also one we can’t afford to ignore. Over the past 20 years, America’s suicide rate has increased by more than a third, and it now ranks as the 10th leading cause of death nationwide. So what do we know about suicide and how to prevent it? On this episode, The Pulse explores the mystery of suicide — what brings people to the edge, and how we might bring them back. We hear stories about the Suicide Prevention Lifeline — and whether it works; how families deal with losing loved ones, and therapists who have lost clients; and the suicide attempt that changed the course of one man’s life. Also heard on this week’s episode: Suicide intervention expert Jonathan Singer explains why most of his work is really about hope. We talk about suicide prevention and risk factors. He is the host of the Social Work podcast, and a professor of Social Work at Loyola University Chicago. Yolonda Johnson-Young talks about her son, Elijah who died by suicide in 2017. She made a film about him and the aftermath of his death called “Finding Elijah.” Suicide attempt survivor Kevin Hines talks about his message of hope for others who are struggling with suicidal ideation If you or someone you know is in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Prometheus Laboratories is a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in treating GI diseases (gastrointestinal-relating to the stomach and intestines). Prometheus owned the patents to a diagnostic method that helped determine the proper dosage of a drug meant to treat autoimmune diseases (like Chrons). Mayo Collaborative is a for-profit diagnostics laboratory affiliated with the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. In 2004, they began to sell diagnostic kits using an identical method to the one patented by Prometheus. Prometheus sued Mayo and the case made it to the Supreme Court–twice. Finally, in 2012, the Supreme Court held that Prometheus's method was unpatentable from the outset because it was akin to an unpatentable "law of nature." Mr. Jonathan Singer heads the life sciences division at Fish & Richardson in San Diego. He is a seasoned patent attorney and an expert on pharmaceuticals and patent law. Mr. Singer argued on the side of Mayo and won. Link to the case: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-1150.pdf Please enjoy the podcast and share!

We talk about some of the contributing factors to suicide - including access to firearms - as well as the need for more timely data. You'll also hear why the number of suicides is likely underreported.   If you are thinking about suicide, or worried about a friend or loved one, or need support, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text "HELLO" to 741741.

Leadership is tested during times of crisis, controversy and social unrest. The best leaders rise to the occasion and can create opportunities for meaningful and lasting change. In the world of suicide prevention, voices of activists are challenging established ways of doing things, and in many ways the field is at a crossroads. Many are finding themselves re-examining the questions and methods of our research, the protocols of some of our “treatments” and crisis services, and the systemic racism and other social determinants of suicide that have not received enough attention.In this interview, I have the honor of interviewing Dr. Jonathan Singer, the current President of the American Association of Suicidology, who has weathered many transitions and challenges during his leadership tenure with grace and significant impact. He shares his story of how he became the leader he is today and invites others to find their voices to change the field to be more inclusive and effective.About Dr. Jonathan SingerSinger 2020 B&W.pngJonathan B.

Colorado State Rep. Jonathan Singer speaks with host Jordan Wellington about his time in office, the history of cannabis legalization in Colorado, and his role as the only lawmaker to endorse Amendment 64, which made adult use marijuana legal in the Centennial State, when it debuted. Produced by Shea Gunther.

The future of Colorado Cannabis with Jonathan Singer. Jonathan is the State Representative for District 11 in Colorado and has been based in the city of Boulder since 2012. There he serves as the Chair of Public Healthcare and Human Services Committee. He has a background in social work, including work as a peer educator at the Boulder County Safehouse, counseling, and advocacy for abused and neglected children, and has been a champion of cannabis reform here in the state of Colorado. We start by talking about the evolution of the cannabis industry and movement in Colorado, which had a strong medical program before legalizing for adults which rolled out in 2014. Johnathan explains if he was immediately a supporter of cannabis or did he have to come around on this issue. As we look back on the last few years, Colorado was one of the first two states to legalize cannabis for adults, Jonathan rates how the state did with cannabis implementation. As well as where they succeeded, and where they fell short. We also touch what issues are next for our industry as we continue to evolve and so much more.

In the time of Covid-19, physical distancing (sometimes called social distancing) is necessary to flatten the coronavirus curve--but there is a danger to it as well, as populations most vulnerable to isolation are left in possible crisis. So, how do we talk to the people we love--and to ourselves--about suicide? How do we protect ourselves and others? What are steps we can take, right now, even from home, that may save a life? To find out, host JJ is joined by Dr. Jonathan Singer, President of the American Association of Suicidology and Colleen Creighton, Chief Executive Officer of the American Association of Suicidology.

In this episode of Hard Data, From Evidence to Action, we interview Jonathan Singer, Ph.D., President of the American Association of Suicidology, who shares his personal perspective on how healthcare data can augment the ability of frontline caregivers and healthcare professionals, in addition to informing good policy.

Dr. Jonathan Singer is the President of the American Association of Suicidology (https://suicidology.org). He and OTC host, John Dennis, have a conversation about youth suicide, why it is on the rise and what parents can do to help their kids. 

If we want to be inclusive leaders at work and in our communities, we also need to be allies and advocates for those who experience mental illness.In this episode, we are joined by two guest experts and advocates who are using nontraditional means to raise mental health awareness. First, we hear from Dr. Jonathan Singer, Associate Professor of Social Work at Loyola University Chicago and President of the American Association of Suicidology who leverages social media to make suicide and mental health research accessible. Next, we connect with Dior Vargas, a Latina Feminist Mental Health Activist who is working to make mental illness awareness more inclusive through a grassroots initiative called the People of Color and Mental Illness Photo Project.Want more behind the scenes materials?

Today, I talk to Jonathan Singer, host of The Social Work Podcast as well as associate professor at Loyola University Chicago School of Social Work. I asked Jonathan to come on the podcast today because I’ve had this growing sense of disconnect between all the talk about social determinants of health, all the talk about how clinical care has a relatively small impact on patient outcomes compared to environmental factors, how the most important number in health care is someone’s zip code. All this talk swirling around, and rarely do social workers come up in the conversation—at least at the level that you’d think they would, given the number of years of education they have in addressing the environmental factors in question. You can learn more at socialworkpodcast.com. Jonathan B. Singer, PhD, LCSW, is associate professor of social work at Loyola University Chicago, secretary of the American Association of Suicidology, and an award-winning author and podcaster. His research on youth suicide and cyberbullying has been featured on NPR and Fox, and in Time magazine and The Guardian.

Welcome to the Ohio Suicide Reporting Guidelines series. In Episode 01, your host, Jonathan Singer, walks you through the relationship between how you report on suicide and suicide risk. Studies show that certain aspects of suicide reporting can increase rates of suicidal behavior, especially among youth and other vulnerable individuals. The guidelines are not intended to limit press freedom but rather to serve as an evidence-based resource for effective reporting on suicide. They are grounded in the principles of journalism ethics and suicide prevention.

Welcome to the Ohio Suicide Reporting Guidelines series. Episode 00 is an overview episode. Your host, Jonathan Singer, walks you through the purpose of the series, what you'll learn in subsequent episodes, and where to find the Ohio Suicide Reporting Guidelines.

Bonus Episode for Suicide Awareness & Prevention Month! Replay of Laura's interview with Dr. Jonathan Singer, host of the Social Work Podcast, professor at Loyola University in Chicago, and co-author of the book, "Suicide in Schools" which details how communities can address the issue of suicide. Welcome back to Therapy Chat! Today’s topic is a serious one, and something that needs to be talked about, although most of us would rather not think about it. September is Suicide Prevention & Awareness Month, and host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C recorded this special episode to honor a friend’s brother who died by suicide almost 3 years ago. Today Laura interviews someone who has worked for years in the field of suicide prevention. Jonathan B. Singer, PhD is podcaster, a social work professor at Loyola University in Chicago and one of the co-authors of the book “Suicide in Schools: A Practitioner’s Guide to Multi-Level Prevention, Assessment, Intervention and Postvention.” This book is a guide for schools and communities, as well as families, to understand what we can all do to make a difference in the problem of suicide which plagues the United States. Jonathan shares some shocking statistics about the problem of suicide – how often it happens and who is most at risk. He describes specific things schools and communities can do to prevent suicide and to support a person who is feeling suicidal. He also talks about how schools can develop crisis plans to put into action when a school community member dies by suicide. Our community has been affected by suicide far too often. One person dying by suicide is too many, but the numbers are much higher than that. This episode may inspire you to take action to make a difference in your community to reduce suicide.

My guest today is Dr. Jonathan Singer, Ph. D., LCSW, who is an expert in the area of suicide. He is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Loyola University in Chicago and the founder and host of The Social Work podcast. He co-authored the book, Suicide in Schools. This episode focuses on suicide assessments and interventions and is the first of a two-part series. Therapists can do much at various levels to assess risk. The most important action is to screen for suicide risk at each intake assessment, whether it’s suspected or not. Often, aggression and other behavioral disturbances can be evidence of suicide risk, so ASK the questions! What can parents do? Dr. Singer says that parents of any child at risk should talk to the school counselor about a referral. “Don’t start looking for someone when the need arises.” Therapists should also connect with school counselors and let them know who you are and what you do. Dr. Singer explains Attachment-Based Family Therapy, which is emotion-focused and addresses the fundamental issue of why kids don’t see their parents as a resource for help. “Why does the child feel like it’s a better choice to die rather than talk to and open up to their parents?” Repairing the “attachment rupture” makes it easier than to talk about everything. Kids need their parents to be a safe place! Within ABFT, parents must understand the difference between condoning and validating by giving care and acceptance with words and actions. Use the phrase, “tell me more” to encourage kids to share. With this, they gain confidence to start problem-solving on their own---and this is what we want them to do!

My guest today is Dr. Jonathan Singer, Ph. D., LCSW, who is an expert in the area of suicide. He is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Loyola University in Chicago and the founder and host of The Social Work podcast. He co-authored the book, Suicide in Schools. This episode focuses on suicide pacts and the social media component and is the second piece of a two-part series. The language we use around suicide is important. Instead of “suicide threat,” the less-threatening terminology is “suicide disclosure.” Dr. Singer shares how he helped in a suicide pact scenario years ago, before the onset of social media. His story would be very different in today’s world that’s overrun with social media platforms.  Peers can help and even intervene in a crisis situation. In today’s world saturated with social media, teens will often be the first to hear of suicide pacts. Their awareness is crucial, so they know how to help and what to do. Dr. Singer explains how to be a friend to someone who is at risk for suicide and, specifically, how to address an online suicide pact. What if someone feels that they are betraying a friend? Well, “It’s better to have a friend alive and mad, than dead.” There are intense affective conversation techniques that can help keep a friend around: “Your reason for living may not be in your life yet.” Talking about it is so important! Dr. Singer explains that research has shown that asking kids about suicide does not increase risk, but can actually buffer the risk. Contrary to what some people think, bringing up the conversation will NOT make them suicidal.  What does increase the risk is watching a graphic show about a bleak world without hope, as in the recent Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why.

Suicide Prevention and the Grief of those Left BehindI was personally devastated by suicide on July 1, 2007, when my youngest brother, Scott, took his own life at the age of 28.  Scott struggled for many years in and out of mental health treatment episodes.  He never quite let go of the perceived stigma of what it meant to have a mental illness, so he never fully accepted treatment.  Even if he had, we know some people still make the choice to end their life.  What they don't know, or can't know, is how the survivors they leave behind are profoundly affected. I met today's guest, Dr. Jonathan Singer, LCSW at the Podcast Movement conference in Chicago last July.  Jonathan has been the host of The Social Work Podcast for over 9 years.  He started it as a way of bringing his university students extra information between lectures.  it has since taken on a long life of it's own.  There is not only a vast array of information  pertaining to all aspects of  the field of social work, but he also delivers inspirational interviews of people doing extraordinary things. Jonathan's primary field of study is that of Suicide Prevention and Awareness.  He is the author of Dr. Singer is the author of 45 publications, including the 2015 book Suicide in Schools: A practitioner’s guide to multilevel prevention, assessment, intervention, and postvention .  He has given over 100 academic presentations around the country and is an expert in his field. What's Happening in This EpisodeThe first half of the episode features our conversation about:    -- The ages of children most at risk for suicide- How to discuss suicidal language with your child- What to do when your child says things like, "I wish I were dead!"- How to utilize professional help and when it should be considered- The significance of the suicidal thoughts- The Zero Suicide Initiative- The Jason Flatt Act- What #Not6 is all aboutThe second half of the episode, Jonathan dives in with me to explore how I and my family were affected by my brother's suicide.  I am exploring this publicly hoping that it will help shed light on how complicated the grieving process can be for such a loss and also help those who are survivors of a loved one's suicide feel less alone.  Grief is complicated even when we expect a death to take place (i.e. when an elderly parent passes away), but it becomes more complex when someone you love chooses to die by suicide.  My family's reaction is not unusual, but in general, we still do not speak abou losing loved one's to suicide openly.  I'm hoping that by speaking about it in this forum, others may start their own conversations with their loved ones struggling with the suicidal thoughts, or amongst themselves if they are already grieving.Thank you for listening to this very personal episode. ResourcesThe Zero Suicide InitiativeThe Jason Flatt ActWhat #Not6 is all aboutDr. Jonathna Singer, LCSW's bio at Loyola University ChicagoThe Social Work Podcast

Parenting in the Rain, Episode 18 When a Child has Suicidal Thoughts In This Episode:   Below are some snippets from a conversation with Jonathan Singer, LCSW, Ph.D.  on this episode of Parenting in the Rain podcast. Jonathan shares that suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in the United States.   “Risk factors” are different than “warning signs” when talking about the issue of suicide. Risk factors are conditions that increase the person’s chance that they may try to take their life by suicide.  It is important to know that having risk factors doesn’t equate to suicide ideation or intent. Warning signs are things that let you know that there are foreseeable plans for suicide in the near future.   It’s important that a thorough assessment is done by a mental health professional if warning signs are present.   Expressing “hopeless” about the future and talking about a plan are some warning signs to be aware of. It’s important for parents to listen to their children, especially when warning signs are present, and to take it seriously.   Dismissing a child’s warnings signs are not helpful and could be dangerous. When someone dismisses a child’s thoughts of emotional pain they may interpret the person as conveying “your pain is not a priority to me”. When adults can determine if the child wants “to die” or just wants “to be happy”, a supportive response can be more aligned with what is the best help for the child during that time. Parents should seek support from mental health professionals before suicide ideation is present if possible.   Sometimes the egocentric state that can be present in teenagers due to a natural developmental stage of adolescence can lead them to feel like thoughts of suicide is something that “everyone” has present in their lives and feeling like it is “normal”.  It is important to  concerns relating to suicide early and often. It’s important to seek assistance from professionals when you suspect suicidal thoughts; parents should not try to figure out how to help their child on their own as even the professionals consult since it can be a complex and is a serious matter. Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the intentional, self-inflicted harm to one’s body.    If someone is engaging in self-harming behavior, even if believed to be NSSI, a suicide risk assessment should be performed in a professional setting.    There are many reasons why children engage in self harming behaviors, mental health professionals can perform a suicide risk assessment and help with issues surrounding the self-harming behaviors. “Postvention” happens after a suicide death to support people as it pertains to prevention of future deaths by suicide and to address the grief and trauma of the bereaved. Jonathan mentioned a great resource for schools, “After a Suicide: A Toolkit for Schools” https://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/App_Files/Media/PDF/sprc_online_library.pdf It’s important to be aware and a part of your child’s social media world to use as your own “megaphone” to communicate helpful information to those in need of it. Sometimes children have more than one social media account. It’s important to be aware and involved as a parent. Jonathan mentioned the following quotes:  Carl Rogers’ quote, “Congruence e is the key to happiness.”   And, the quote “Suicide doesn’t take away the pain, it gives it to someone else.” Hannah’s Heroes  is a non-profit organization with a passionate mission to draw attention to youth suicide prevention. They work with and through community agencies and partners to develop solutions that provide support for their community and prevent other losses.  Visit their website at  http://www.hannahs-heroes.org/ and donate to their cause, Youth Suicide Prevention, if possible.

In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Singer describes his work drawing on the creative arts that by its nature is a community-based effort at preventing suicide. He argues that traditional prevention efforts, while effective at addressing the stigma associated with suicide on a person-at-a-time basis, do little to address the larger public stigma that is so prevalent and alienating for this population.
