It might be better to ask Canada Taylor what she doesn't do in the realm of suicide prevention, postvention, and grief support rather than what she does because she seems to do just about everything and anything. This is part two of our conversation with her, so if you missed the first, Ep. 297: Honoring A Great Love, be sure to listen. In this episode, we talk about the holistic  approach she takes to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. An approach that focuses on building a world worth living in. A world where youth - and people of any age - have their basic needs met and can access safety, community, and true belonging.  We discuss: Some of the professional roles Canada holds What is different for grief professionals and educators when the topic of suicide arises The changing landscape of suicide prevention & postvention How systems and institutions can create barriers to more humane and effective interventions What we still don't know when it comes to suicide How stigma, shame, and isolation contribute to suicide - and the harm they cause for those left behind Risk factors for youth suicide, especially for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ youth Protective factors like belonging, safety, and community Why cultural & community specific prevention & intervention strategies are necessary What the headlines get wrong about youth suicide The pockets of hope Canada's come across in the field Since 2005 Canada Taylor has worked in behavioral health care serving youth and adults, with a focus in deathcare and helping families navigate grief, loss, and trauma amidst crisis. Relational, restorative, and transformative approaches are key underpinnings to Canada's holistic, integrative philosophy to creating change and healing for all. Currently she is the Suicide Prevention Coordinator and Postvention Response Lead for the Multnomah County Health Department. Canada was honored with the Trillium Health Mental Health Hero award in 2021 and Multnomah County's Committee Choice Award in 2024 for her work in grief and suicide prevention. Grounding spaces in humor, authenticity, and vulnerability are essential to Canada's professional and personal life, and especially her work in suicide prevention.    Organizations we reference: School Crisis Recovery & Renewal Network (SCRR) SAMSHA Black Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition National Suicide Prevention Month **If you are someone you know is struggling, please reach out** Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 Trans Lifeline: 877.565.8860 YouthLine: 877.968.8491 BlackLine: 800.604.5841 LGBTQ National Hotline: 888.843.4564 The Trevor Project: 866.488.7386

Our season on Culture of Care continues this week with a discussion of academic and social/emotional support for students, specifically the Tier Two level of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) rubric. Tier Two is a particularly difficult level to address, coming between Tier One, which all students receive, and Tier Three, which requires one-on-one help. Host Dr. Amy Yillik's guest for this conversation is Jamie Gunter, a counselor for LaPine High School and Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the entire Bend/LaPine district, who suggests various approaches for Tier Two support when adequate staffing and funding are lacking.  This episode offers many options for schools who struggle to support these Tier Two students in terms of substance usage, suicide prevention, and other social/emotional and academic needs. Suggestions range from a Graduation Coach who works with students beginning in their freshman year, to a designated Focus Room for any student who needs space and time to self-regulate, learn skills, or talk to a counselor. Schools without these resources could still utilize Youth Truth Surveys and host social/emotional campaigns throughout the year. Individual educators can help students with calming and self-regulating measures, such as grounding and breathing exercises.  Oregon was one of the first states to mandate programs of suicide prevention in schools, but funding is insufficient to implement these programs. This episode is vital listening for educators wanting to support students in need.  Resources -  Jamie Gunter named 2017 Outstanding Support Staff Person of the Year Sources of Strength Teen Intervene Upshift  Youth Truth Surveys Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

Tune in to hear Head of School, Dr. Mark Carleton, chat with Presbyterian School trustee and former parent, Dr. André Napier, in a new episode which is now live and available for download on our People of PS Podcast. A man of multiple talents, pursuits and stories, Dr. André Napier, has been part of the Presbyterian School community for over 10 years. Three of his four children including Andre '14, Arden '16, and Emery '22, attended Presbyterian School. André will always be best known for creating the PS Dad's: Hot Dog Takeover, an annual Spring lunch cookout sponsored by PS dads. Andre is the owner of Avalon Diner in Stafford. Prior to becoming a restauranteur, Andre's professional career included working as a concert tour manager and with professional athletes. In recent years, André earned his doctorate in Behavioral Health Management and has added Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the Houston VA to his resume. He is also a therapist and consultant for the National Basketball Players Association.André is someone you will want to get to know better. Our short bio does not do justice to his extensive work in the community. After you listen to our Podcast, attend our Parent Ed series on Supporting our Students: Understanding Suicide and Self-Harm in Today's Youth on February 6 at noon to learn more from André. He is one of three mental health professionals presenting and will discuss the prevalence of suicide among today's youth, and highlight useful tools and strategies on how to approach real life scenarios concerning thoughts of suicide.Excerpt from André Napier in the People of PS Podcast: One of the tipping points for me deciding to go back to school was my then firstborn son was in school, in private school, and he was having some challenges, and ultimately that led to us getting him a neuropsych evaluation, and we determined that he had ADHD. So I was very reluctant, frustrated about the diagnosis. I did not want to accept it. It didn't make sense. ADHD didn't make sense. Folks telling you that your child's brain may not be wired the same as other folks, and then they start talking about what the effects of that will be for him long term. So I think that that really was the deciding factor for me to go back to school, was that I needed to find out more. And the more I found out, the more I needed to find out. And that's how I started out in clinical therapy.

Suicide has increased over the past two decades by an astounding rate. In half the United States it has increased by 30%. In KY it increased by 37% in 2016. It’s the 2nd leading cause of death among ages 15-34 in the US; and the 10th leading cause of death overall. In 2016, 46,000 people died by suicide. In part 2 of our Suicide Prevention Awareness podcast, we continue the discussion of suicide prevention, warning signs and ways those who suffer from risk factors can get help. I am joined by Tammy Barrett, Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the State of KY; Dr. Susan Pollack, Pediatrician and member of the American Academy of Pediatrics; and joining us from part 1 is Janet Shedd. Janet is a suicide loss survivor. Her youngest son, Tom, died by suicide at age 18 in 2015. We hope you will share this episode and begin a conversation with people in your life. For support you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline @ 1-800-273-SAFE or text 741741.

Suicide is a tragedy that affects us all.  One in four individuals have thoughts of suicide during their lifetime, which is probably an underreported number. Most people who take their own lives do not want to die, they just want to be out of the pain they are experiencing and be relieved of a feeling of hopelessness that things will never get better. They don't know what to do and they don't know there is help. Discover Lafayette interviewed Deacon Barney Lejeune in 2018 when he served as Executive Director of Jacob Crouch Suicide Prevention Services. Deacon Barney now serves as a volunteer at Jacob Crouch Suicide Prevention. Management services have been assumed by The Family Tree Information, Education and Counseling Center. Brittany Williams of The Family Tree is the Suicide Prevention Coordinator of Jacob Crouch Suicide Prevention and may be reached at bwilliams@acadianafamilytree.org or by calling (337) 981-2180. The Jacob Crouch foundation was originally started in 2005 by the family and friends of Jacob Crouch following his death by suicide. At that time, there were very limited resources available to those grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide. The stigma associated with suicide meant that education on warning signs and intervention was not very prevalent. Before Deacon Barney joined the Jacob Crouch Foundation, he spent his career managing computer departments for local businesses. He became involved with the Jacob Crouch organization after the death of his beautiful daughter, Andrea Beth, to suicide in 2014. Until his daughter's death, he had no idea how much of a crisis suicide was in America. 2016 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document that almost 45,000 people took their lives by suicide that year; by comparison, 19,700 died by homicide. Deacon Barney Lejeune's story is an inspirational one that we all need to hear. Listen and share this podcast, please. And pray for survivors of suicide victims as well as all people who are considering suicide. There are better options and there are people ready to help. Research shows that many suicides could be prevented if everyone knew the warning signs of suicide and what to do when someone exhibits these signs. Signs that indicate a friend or loved one may be considering suicide include the following: Withdrawing from family, friends, or society; Talking about death, dying or suicide; getting one's life matters affairs in order; giving away one's prized possessions; acting recklessly or engaging in risky behavior; increased use of alcohol and/or drugs; agitation leading to poor eating, poor sleeping and  forgoing self-care; feeling rage or uncontrolled anger or seeking revenge; and dramatic mood changes. There are many more signals to identify and Jacob Crouch Suicide Prevention Services is available to speak to you, a group to which you belong, or to share resources with you if you need help. Survivors have a tough time dealing with their guilt: "Why didn't I see the signs?" The grief experienced can be debilitating. In recognizing there was a dearth of resources in our community to help survivors move forward as they struggle to make their lives whole again, Deacon Barney worked closely with the Diocese of Lafayette to begin Survivor of Suicide Support Groups in Lafayette and Opelousas to assist anyone who has been impacted by the death of a loved one to suicide. Deacon Barney was instrumental in founding a special Mass of Remembrance held to remember those who lost their lives to suicide. The Mass is held annually at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. This year's Mass is on Saturday, November 23, 10:00 a.m and interested participants may register at https://diolaf.org/suicide-survivors. There is a national suicide prevention hotline to call: 1(800)273-8255, available 365 days a year, 24 hours per day. Or you can text 741741 if you are not up to speaking but need to reac...

As she's already heard, April is a breath of fresh air. We met by chance at The National Council for Behavioral Health and immediately set up a live interview.  Now MHNR Network is doing all we can to further her message with www.spsmchat.com.  Doc Foreman has her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. She enjoys working in rural settings, and finds that the picture in her office of her grandmother holding up an enormous catfish can often mean more to her clients than the degrees hanging on the opposite wall. She believes that using information technology and social media resources can bring state of the art mental health care to her rural clients. She has experience using a system of phone texting to help clients chart their daily mood and share them with a treatment team and trusted circle of friends and family. She also uses social media platforms like Twitter to connect with innovators and thought leaders in healthcare across the world, and uses her website to curate compelling Twitter chats on issues about which she is passionate. Her work in this area has been featured in the ARHQ Innovations Exchange.Currently, Doc Foreman is serving Veterans as a Suicide Prevention Coordinator in Baton Rouge. She enjoys using her clinical skill, and talent for practical problem-solving to prevent suicide in US Veterans, who have *twice* the risk of dying by suicide as the general public.www.docforeman.comwww.spsmchat.comwww.thenationalcouncil.org
