In 2015, Lori Crider lost her nephew to suicide. During a long, and ongoing, journey of grief, she met Shirley Weddle: a fellow loss survivor. In 2021, they worked together to help build the Rotary E-Club of Suicide Prevention and Brain Health to destigmatize mental health, draw attention to warning signs, and connect with experts to learn about suicide prevention. The Rotary magazine team spoke with them to hear their stories and learn about suicide prevention.

"Our kids don't kill themselves because of lack of love. They can have absolutely everything and still struggle with suicidal thoughts. I hear it every day. "Well, my daughter is a college, and she said she's been really depressed. But she's not the type to kill herself." Sheryl, if I could tell you the number of times people told me and then two weeks later called me back and said, "Oh my God,  my child attempted suicide or killed herself or himself or themselves. I do not want that to happen." - AnneMoss RogersHi, friends; welcome to the show today. And I'm so glad that you're here.

On today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius Publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California, talks to Michael Hempseed, Director of Frontiers of Hope, a specialist mental health service about how to help our children deal with anxiety and stress during the holidays. He is the co-author of the book “Calming Your Child: De-escalating Tantrums, Anxiety, Aggression, and Other Challenging Behaviors.”   Michael is also the author of “Being a True Hero: Understanding and Preventing Suicide in Your Community”. He has spoken to Frontera, New Zealand, Post fire and Emergency New Zealand and many others. Michael gained an honors degree in psychology from the University of Canterbury in 2008 and he has had the opportunity to speak at a TED event in 2016.   Episode Highlights 01:53: Michael discusses the increasing trend of very young children displaying heightened anxiety. Many are so anxious they cannot attend school. 02:37: Michael highlights the ripple effect of a child's anxiety on their family. He shares an anecdote of parents needing to take six months off work to care for their severely anxious child, underlining the significant impact on the entire family. 03:18: Christopher inquiries about the topic of sensory issues in children, as mentioned in the book "Calming Your Child". He seeks clarity on what sensory issues entail and emphasizes the importance of understanding and recognizing them in children. 04:10: Michael emphasizes that sensory issues aren't limited to just sounds but affect all senses. He shares statistics from his mental health service, noting a significant number of individuals with moderate to severe sensory issues, especially among young children. 05:02: Christopher emphasizes the intensity of her daughter's discomfort, using the word "excruciating" to describe her experience. He notes the challenge it poses for her to stay calm given her heightened perception of sound. 06:42: Michael stresses that children don't act out without a reason, but rather are dealing with overwhelming emotions they can't express properly and this overwhelming feeling in children can manifest as aggressive behaviours like punching or yelling. 07:51: Christopher introduces the idea of perspective and how individuals perceive the world differently. He emphasizes that when people, especially children, act out, it's a form of communication. 08:28: Michael discusses the challenge of sensory issues. Many who experience them believe it's a normal part of life since they've always felt that way. He stresses the importance of patience and effort in understanding and working through these challenges. 08:55: Christopher queries why upcoming holiday season time of the year can be particularly stressful for families, especially those with children. 09:21: Michael addresses interpersonal stress, particularly when families gather, mentioning scenarios where certain relatives may not get along. 10:10: Christopher discusses the importance of finding ways to make the holidays less stressful and seeks professional advice and tips on managing holiday stress. 11:20: Michael talks about how volunteering can help young people gain perspective and feel a sense of purpose. He suggests taking children to visit the elderly. He also provides guidance on how to initiate conversation, emphasizing the mutual benefits. 12:26: Michael discusses the importance of sleep, mentioning it is a long chapter in his book. He talks about the negative effects of sleep deprivation. He relates sleep deprivation to mood and behaviour in both adults and children. 14:10: Michael highlights that not every sign of stress or behavioural issue necessitates counselling. Encourages trying alternative solutions like volunteering before resorting to counselling. 15:39: Michael notes that if a child's behaviour is affecting the family's lifestyle, like avoiding social events, it might be time to seek help. He emphasizes the importance of observing not just the intensity but the recurrence of problematic behaviours. 16:05: Christopher poses a question about when to consider professional help and seeks advice for parents to help their children in the upcoming year. 17:15: Michael discusses the benefits of free play for children. He mentions that it helps children develop problem-solving skills and improve social interaction. 18:42: Michael differentiates between forcing someone to practice an instrument and allowing them to enjoy it. He shares a study about Nobel Prize winners in the sciences having artistic and musical hobbies. Points out the value of art and music in enhancing cognitive abilities. 19:07: Christopher shares his belief that adults are usually grateful for having learned an instrument and often regret if they quit playing. 19:24: Michael discusses studies that indicate a surge in the amount of homework kids have today. He mentions the overburdening of young children and the need to reintroduce the concept of fun in learning. 20:10: Christopher shares a possibly apocryphal story from World War 2 about Winston Churchill emphasizing the importance of art even in dire times.   3 Key Points Michael discusses the increasing trend of very young children displaying heightened anxiety, with many being so anxious they cannot attend school. Christopher speaks about the intensity of his daughter's discomfort due to sensory issues, highlighting that many behavioral problems are reactions from individuals feeling overwhelmed by sensory stimuli rather than intentional acts of rebellion. Michael emphasizes the significance of sleep, discussing its impact on mood and behavior in both adults and children, and relates sleep deprivation to various negative effects.   Tweetable Quotes “Merely living in the era of COVID has deeply impacted individuals regardless of personal sentiments.” - Michael “Many behavioral problems aren't intentional acts of rebellion but are reactions from individuals feeling overwhelmed and distressed by sensory stimuli.” - Michael "Children don't act out without a reason, but rather are dealing with overwhelming emotions they can't express properly." - Michael "Not every sign of stress or behavioral issue necessitates counseling. Encourages trying alternative solutions like volunteering before resorting to counseling." - Michael   Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple Podcast Editing

As Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day approach, American Legion National Commander Vincent J. “Jim” Troiola is imploring all Americans to “Be the One” to stop veteran suicide. “The number one issue facing veterans today is suicide. Estimates vary as to how many take their lives each day, but we do know that one is too many. In fact, that's the number we are focused on. The American Legion wants all Americans to ‘Be the One,' to save one,” Troiola said. “Veterans served this country, now it's time to return the favor. We should all be the one to ask veterans how they are doing. To reach out when a veteran is struggling and listen to them when they need to talk. We must destigmatize the act of seeking help.

Some believe that the most depressing day of the year happens in mid-January. This is when we are coming off the high of the Christmas celebrations, bills from holiday spending start to hit our inbox, the weather is the bleakest, and guilt from failed New Year's Resolutions culminates in a perfect storm of discouragement. On this Ask Christian Counseling Associates episode, we meet with Dr. Karen Mason, Professor of Counseling and Psychology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.  Dr. Mason is the author of “Preventing Suicide: A Handbook for Pastors, Chaplains, and Pastoral Counselors,” and “Preaching Hope in Darkness: Help for Pastors in Addressing Suicide from the Pulpit.” Join us as we seek expert advice on how to prevent the destructive trend of suicide.

Johnson County schools have found success in a suicide prevention effort where teenagers help each other through mental health problems. Plus, the families of students in the Independence School District say they're frustrated by a lack of transparency.

5,229 construction workers died by suicide in 2016 (the last year for which CDC numbers are available).    The industry category of “construction and extraction” has a higher rate of suicide than any other industry category.    That's why suicide is a topic worthy of discussion on a construction-related podcast. That's why we're talking to Kevin Sells today.    People who aren't involved in construction might wonder why in world those numbers are so high. If you are in the industry, however, you know that stress levels increase dramatically when supply chains experience hiccups that affect workflow. Also, many commercial construction jobs involve long stretches of time away from family. Unfortunately, many construction companies have almost no protocols or programs in place for addressing mental health concerns.    Creating a healthier overall bid-build process was the desire behind the new methodology proposed by Project Summit, an initiative that Kevin is involved in. Project Summit is total collaboration strategy intended to get back to a system based on producing predictable cost outcomes through true relationship and trust. The connection that this approach has to suicide is that it advocates a one-hard-hat philosophy that consciously places value on all workers and disciplines. It focuses on putting employees and the project first.   Kevin shares about the frustration–even the embarrassment–that he and others in the industry took so long to recognize this problem.    Kevin points out that we can't realistically recruit young talent and muscle if we can't show that we're concerned about all-around employee wellness. This means considering several things: work site conditions, time away from family, length of the work day, consistency of jobs, availability of medical care for traveling workers, additional concerns that exist with military veterans, who might have lingering.   Kevin explains that it's about actually listening to and hearing the responses when we ask a coworker, “How are you doing today?”    Kevin emphasizes that no program will work if the leaders within the organization are not genuinely invested in promoting mental health. Leaders must realize their obligation to advocate in this area.   Here are a few specific resources that Kevin recommends for owners and managers interested in addressing mental health concerns with their companies: American Foundation for Suicide Prevention The Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention United Group Services Youtube Channel (search for suicide prevention) Cal Beyer The Suicide Prevention Hotline:  Phone #: 988 Text line: 741741    Kevin's megaphone message: Our industry has a problem in relation to mental illness. It's killing more workers than anything else. We need to address it.   (By the way, here's a link to the Jennifer Castenson Forbes article in which she quotes Eddie.)

In this podcast episode of the Tribesmen podcast, I interviewed Rabbi Shalom Hammer.   Rabbi Shalom Hammer lives in Israel now 32 years and serves as an educational lecturer for the IDF. He is the founder and director of Makom Meshutaf which offers non-denominational and non-coercive Jewish educational programming for Pre-Military Academies throughout Israel.   Since his daughter Gila died from suicide at the age of 18, Rabbi Hammer champions mental health awareness and suicide prevention worldwide.   In this episode, he dives deep into his experience with grief and how he found the strength to keep going.   It is an inspiring conversation that opened my eyes to the importance of mental health awareness, self-care, and resilience in times of adversity. I am extremely grateful that Rabbi Hammer shared his story with us on this episode.   What you'll learn from this episode: Rabbi Hammer's journey through his grief and how he found resilience The importance of mental health awareness and suicide prevention Self-care strategies in times of adversity What we can do to help those suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts.   Gain a greater understanding of why it is so important to prioritize mental health and learn tangible action steps that you can use to support someone who is struggling.   We all have an obligation to care for each other, as Rabbi Hammer explains so powerfully in this podcast.   "..our greatest attribute is life. We want to live, we want to embrace life. And everyone obviously deserves a shot at that. Everyone has to embrace and remember it, and certainly to take care to even those who are suffering, to somehow remind them of that and bring them there."   "..because people are afraid to say the word suicide. It's something that as I said before, remains a taboo. People are afraid if they mention the word that, it will promote and that it will certainly encourage others and so on and so forth. And that's a mistake."   "But ultimately, when someone is experiencing those things, it's a downward spiral. And they feel trapped, so trapped in a place of darkness and despair that they just don't know if there are any viable options out there."   ".. the vast majority, not all the vast majority of people, particularly adolescents who die from suicide, do not want to die. They want to live. They just don't have direction guidance, or they don't have the know how of what they're supposed to do for themselves..."   I hope you enjoy this episode!

Los hombres del sector de la construcción mueren a causa del suicidio a un ritmo aproximadamente dos veces superior al de otras personas en edad laboral. Este podcast explora los factores que lo producen, los signos y síntomas, y las acciones que pueden llevar a cabo los individuos, las empresas y las comunidades para desestigmatizar el problema y ayudarse entre sí. El Dr. John Gaal comparte su experiencia y sus recomendaciones desde la perspectiva de alguien con muchos años en el sector, y que además perdió a su hijo por suicidio. La presentación original tuvo lugar como parte de un seminario virtual de CPWR, Preventing Suicide in the Construction Industry (Prevención del suicidio en la industria de la construcción), que puede verse en su totalidad en https://youtu.be/P1K-_mv9Hdg.

According to the CDC, firearms are used in approximately 50% of all suicides. In this podcast, Dr. Emmy Betz, a professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and director of the Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative joins Laura Castellanos, associate director, Hospitals Against Violence initiative at the American Hospital Association. Together they explore the connections between firearms and suicide, and what hospitals and healthcare systems need to know about firearm suicide prevention. A variety of organizations are involved in the discussion about firearm safety and suicide. These include the Bulletpoints Project, Walk the Talk America, the partnership between the VA, NSSF, and ASFP, and the American College of Surgeons.

There's a new effort to combat death by suicide among veterans and other people associated with the military.  

Seven years ago, Heidi Swapp lost her 16-year-old son, Cory, to suicide. In the wake of Cory's passing, Heidi endured devastating thoughts of her perceived failures as a mother. But instead of focusing on what she couldn't change, Heidi determined to learn as much as she could and then share the things she wished she'd known with as many parents as would listen. One of the most important things she's learned is that suicide prevention begins long before we are ever concerned about someone we love. So on today's episode, she shares nine principles that she believes have the ability to make a critical difference. 3:08- Seven Years Later 15:35- Don't Freak Out 22:18- One Day At A Time 27:12- 'Forgive Yourself For Not Knowing What You Didn't Know' 29:57- Don't Believe Everything You Think 35:00- The End 39:12- Now Is Not Forever 42:48- Connection > Concern 45:58- The Importance of Evolving 49:13- Yet 53:35- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?    "Being all in is allowing yourself to figure it out as you go, and to learn and to evolve—to allow yourself to have a question, to allow yourself to have a surety and to allow yourself to be loved by a perfect Heavenly Father and to be saved by Jesus, recognizing that you just don't have to have it all figured out."   Links- Deseret News article Morgan wrote about Heidi 7 years ago- https://www.deseret.com/2017/4/11/20610132/going-home-utah-scrapbooking-ceo-finds-hope-after-losing-a-child-to-suicide Light the Fight- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/light-the-fight/id1354722078 Heidi's website- https://www.heidiswapp.com/ Heidi's Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/heidiswapp/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Real Men Feel is about reminding men that they are human and entitled to feel and express the full range of emotions. Some of those emotions can you have feeling like absolute shit, but that never means that you are shit. If you've read any of my books, seen me speak live, listened to many Real Men Feel episodes, perhaps heard me as a guest on other shows, or even know me as an actual, physical, human being, you are aware that I don't hide the fact that I've tried to end my life multiple times. September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day, and I don't make a big thing about this day because, frankly, it pisses me off. Every day should be suicide prevention day for all of us. But I get that plenty of people still experience a stigma around any discussions of mental health or suicide. And I have long believed that one of the best ways to prevent suicide is to talk about it. So I shall. Men account for three-quarters of deaths by suicide in many countries. While the pathway to suicide for each individual is unique, some common risk factors have been shown to contribute to the higher suicide rate among men. These risk factors include using more lethal means, reduced help-seeking, harmful substance use, social disconnection, conformity to some masculine norms, and stressful life events such as unemployment and relationship breakdown. The theme for World Suicide Prevention Day this year is "Creating hope through action." My talking to you right now is an action. You listening right now is an action. You checking with a dear friend and asking how they are? is an action. Working with a therapist, a coach, or a men's group is a positive action you might take. By the way, those are all things I've been doing this summer. I invite you to show support for those struggling with suicidal attempts or ideation and to remember loved ones who died of suicide.

Did you know “adverse childhood experiences” (otherwise known as “ACEs”), are connected to later life suicide. According to the CDC, the following potentially traumatic childhood experiences are connected to many life threatening health risks:experiencing violence, abuse, or neglectwitnessing violence in the home or communityhaving a family member attempt or die by suicidesubstance use problemsmental health problemsinstability due to parental separationhousehold members being in jail or prisonAbout 61% of adults surveyed have experienced at least one type of ACE. The more ACEs a child experiences, the more likely they will have later life consequences like “injury, sexually transmitted infections, maternal and child health problems (including teen pregnancy, pregnancy complications, and fetal death), involvement in sex trafficking, and a wide range of chronic diseases and leading causes of death such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and suicide.” ACEs are what are known as “social determinants of health” and cause toxic stress in young people that impact their ability to pay attention, make decisions and form stable relationships.The Good NewsThe strongest buffer for kids is a relationship with at least one loving, caring, responsive adult - a family member, a teacher, a coach, a mentor.Having a source of reliable nurturing protects them from further harm and helps them develop self-regulation skills. In addition a healthy child-adult relationship gives them a sense of safety in the storm and a glimmer of hope for things to come.In this episode I speak with Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kimberly O'Brien about how our youth can feel “emotionally naked” and how caring adults can help provide does of support that fuel resilience and self-esteem, and ultimately prevent suicide.About Kimberly Hayes McManama O'Brien, Ph.D., LICSWKimberly O'Brien, PhD, LICSW is a Clinical Social Worker in the Sports Medicine Division and Female Athlete Program at Boston Children's Hospital, as well as a Research Scientist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

In this episode, Al interviews Anne Moss Rogers, public speaker, certified suicide prevention trainer, NAMI Virginia Board Member, and an award-winning author (recorded 10-6-21). She is also the mother of Charles, a young man who lived with depression and addiction and died by suicide. Anne Moss talks very candidly about her son, Charles, who died by suicide at the young age of twenty on June 5, 2015. She describes the many years of chaos in the household due to Charles' substance abuse and mental illness. She talks about the ways she and her family tried to support Charles...and the signs of his suicidal ideation that they may have missed. Anne Moss describes the challenges of getting Charles to get accept more professional help later in his life in a system for which he had become jaded; jaded due to the shaming he, and his mother, had received by professionals around his substance abuse. Now Anne Moss has turned this tragedy into a mission to save the lives of others who may be considering suicide. She has authored two books: Diary of a Broken Mind: A Mother's Story, a Son's Suicide, and the Haunting Lyrics He Left Behind and Emotionally Naked: A Teacher's Guide to Preventing Suicide and Recognizing Students at Risk.

We are in a period of digital disruption, and, as we like to say, “You are either being disrupted, or you are the disruptor.” Normally during The Disruptor Segment of The Apex Podcast, we discuss experiences and stories from the field that will empower any burgeoning entrepreneurs to deepen their design thinking practice and any naysayers to give it a second look.    During this segment of The Disruptor, Jan and John diverge slightly and decided to “disrupt” our normal format and host a panel discussion of four Equine-Assisted Services (EAS) experts who explore how the Horses & Humans Research Foundation (HHRF) funded grants have supported research on the benefits of Horse – Human interaction with Veterans with PTSD and students who have experienced trauma.   We think trauma is an extreme example of disruption and many of us have experienced some form of trauma in 2020 and 2021. We start the show by exploring how and why equine therapy services help trauma patients. This is followed by a discussion on how grant requests from HHRF support the continued research.   The panel moderators consist of Pebbles Turbeville, the Executive Director of  Horses & Humans Research Foundation, and Tara Mahone, the CEO & Founder of Equine Immersion Project, LLC. Together they facilitate an excellent discussion on the serious and tough subject of Disrupting and Preventing Suicide through Equine-Assisted Services (EAS) for PTSD and Trauma Patients with Debbi Fisher, the Operations and Training Director for Hope for Heroes Equine Therapy Consulting and Hope for Heroes Horsemanship Center and Martha McNiel, the Director of DreamPower Horsemanship.   We are also excited to have this show hosted by the Horses & Humans Research Foundation, an organization that is a catalyst in advancing global knowledge of horse-human interactions and their impact on health and wellness, and their October 2021 conference about Horses and Humans Research.    To learn more about and support the Horses & Humans Research Foundation (HHRF) please visit:  https://www.horsesandhumans.org/general-donations   To learn more about the outstanding  four Equine-Assisted Services (EAS) experts:  Tara Mahoney:  LinkedIn and
