Tribal and state public health efforts in New Mexico are credited with cutting the Native American suicide rate in that state by 43% over a year's time. It's even more notable in that the percent reduction is more than five times that of the rest of the population. There are still troubling statistics, including a study that shows Native American young people at most risk. We'll hear from suicide prevention experts about where problems persist and what is being done to offset them.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and it's a time to remember those affected by suicide and raise awareness about suicide prevention. Joining us to tell us more is Chief Kathleen Kalyan-Barden. Suicide prevention coordinator at the Fleet Readiness Center Mid Atlantic Detachment. And Natalie Russell, Education Services Facilitator with the Fleet and Family Support Center. Help is available.

According to a 2020 report from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the US. 45,979 Americans died by suicide and there was 1.2 million suicide attempts in 2020 alone. Further, According to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center 2019 Data reports that 33.6% of Females self-reported being in a Depressed Mood, 64% report Mental Health problems and 38% were being treated for Mental Health problems. With all of the above data, we couldn't help but pause to ponder the could these feelings we have of being “stuck” actually be mental health issues worth exploring, understanding and resolving? Similarly to teens who don't run home to report bullying. Women who choose to not allow the robust world to squeeze all of the next chapters of life out of them - may not run home or to a loved one to report symptoms of “silently quitting their lives” while beckoning themselves to get “unstuck” (for the last time or for real this time). So, we explore these themes in our episode today with our guest, James Hayes, to discuss the theory of contextual conceptual therapy, or CCT. CCT looks not at what is broken, but explores what is happening within us that may be just misunderstood, in the way we may be misunderstood if we speak a different language in a foreign country. CCT brings to the surface answers that already exist within us and helps us learn to love ourselves in the way we give love to others. In this episode, James teaches us: Traditional therapy is meant to "fix" what is "broken". Contextual Conceptual Therapy (or CCT) looks at not what is broken, but explores what may be just misunderstood Sometimes we become someone we are not to protect the someone that we are. Then we spend all of our time trying to be worthy...but, the deception is that we always were. Understanding of self give us freedom. We have a life path that has been predestined and laid out before us. In moments when we have a mental health events, our life then feels like a train that has been derailed and just needs to get back on track. CCT is about loving ourselves as much as we love the most important persons in our lives. We give our love away, but don't give it to ourselves. If we took the love we give to others and focused it on ourselves, that is where our greatness would come from. Our emotions are messages from our inner spirit. We need to slow down and hear what they are telling us. Every time we tell a lie to ourselves, our inner spirit takes a blow. Stop saying what you won't do, because that's the next thing life will ask you to do. If you're struggling and need support, please link to the Suicide Therapy Website and know you're not alone. We are here to love you and lift you up as we strive together to be our best selves for the next chapter in our life.

The Topic That's Hard To Talk About, But Really Needs To Be#suicideprevention #suicideawareness #depression #mentalillness Collin-"I have always been a man who went after my dreams. As a child I grew up with three dreams; to be a cowboy, a pilot, and an actor. I rode bulls professionally for several years. I competed against some of the greatest legends in the sport of professional rodeo. I am a retired airline pilot and now I am a voice actor. But my world collapsed on June 10, 2022, when my fifteen-year-old granddaughter killed herself. On that day I learned the true meaning of pain. I am now on a mission to find any platform to talk about this sensitive subject with the hope of preventing other people from such a tragic end. I am not a mental health professional or an expert on statistics. But I have been given the gift of public speaking. I have escaped death a handful of times throughout my life.  After discovering my talent and love of public speaking I always have wondered why I have been saved and what I am supposed to do. As soon as I heard the news about my granddaughter I instantly knew exactly what I am to do."Resources988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/988Americans for Suicide Prevention: https://afsp.org/Suicide Prevention Resource Center: https://www.sprc.org/Center for Disease Control and Prevention: https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/index.htmlNational Institute on Mental Health: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/suicidepreventionNational Alliance of Mental Illness: https://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Common-withMental-Illness/Risk-of-SuicideHealthGuide: https://www.helpguide.org/articles/suicide-prevention/ suicide-prevention.htmWebsite: https://stopteensuicide.life/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/voices.of.collin.hughes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/CollinWHughesLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-w-hughes/Buzzsprout: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2036777.rssApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-miracles-of-tragedy/id1641402383Book: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Lingers-Still-Haunting-Anthology/dp/1959879006/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=365ZMGUZWQRGZ&keywords=love+lingers+still&qid=1678887275&sprefix=love+lingers%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-1Thanks for tuning in, please be sure to click that subscribe button and give this a Two Chicks Talkin Flicks Podcasttwo chicks talking about their favorite movies and moreListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyFor all our social media and other links, go to: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/the_vibes_broadcastPlease subscribe, like, and share!

Diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism called metatropic dysplasia, Brandon Farbstein was on the verge of ending his life at age 11. His suicide attempt was partly influenced by the bullying he experienced. But in spite of the emotional and physical turmoil he suffered since childhood, Brandon boldly used his voice and helped two pieces of legislation get signed into state law in Virginia. According to a 2019 UN study, each month almost one in three students globally is bullied. And in the US, youth suicide rates increased 56% between 2000 to 2017. In this episode, we look into causes and insights on bullying, cyberbullying, and their relation to youth suicide. We dive into the lack of legal and policy frameworks to prevent bullying in the United States and in other countries, as well as the role we can play in ending this epidemic. Featuring policy insights and advocacy insights from experts: Elly Stout, Director at the Suicide Prevention Resource Center at EDC, and Ilann Maazel, Partner at Emery Celli Brinckerhoff Abady Ward & Maazel LLP. -- This episode is made possible with the support of Vodafone Americas Foundation.

Critical suicidology is an emerging area of scholarship and advocacy that brings together expertise from diverse perspectives to re-examine all that we have believed to be “true” about suicide prevention. Critical suicidologists question the highly medicalized framework of understanding a suicidal person and see suicide in context by understanding how other frameworks — like social justice — expand our imagination on what is possible in prevention, intervention and postvention. In this conversation with Jess Stohlmann-Rainey, we talk about the ways traditional efforts in suicide prevention have failed us including:Forced treatmentFear-based approaches of restraint and isolationTrying to predict suicide riskAnd instead explore alternative, creative and upstream approaches to suicide prevention such as transformative justice work, mutual aid peer support, and accountability in making reparations for histories of harm done to communities.

New episode tomorrow.  We love you.    National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 Suicide Prevention Resource Center : https://www.sprc.org/  

Today's episode is very special because it is our first Digital Slam. We opened the floor up to the entire world and recorded it live on Zoom on April 27th, 2020. We have a wonderful open mic that includes a few familiar voices and some new ones. Then we hop right into our headliners. First, is Adam Swanson, he is a writer and health equity advocate specializing in suicide prevention. He's a 2020 Writing by Writers fellow and a former Lambda Literary fellow. Adam works as the Senior Prevention Specialist at the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. Then we hear from Boots McCann-- who is the woman she has always wanted to be. Her queer origin story involves a farm, a bug collection, ass shaking, international travel disasters, and becoming a bicyclist at age 40. Boots lives in Chicago with the woman of her dreams and wants to be on an NBA Senior Dance Team when she grows up.

As we approach National Suicide Prevention Week, it sometimes feels like a multitude of voices are clamoring for attention with various (and sometimes conflicting) messages. How can we cut through the clutter and be heard? One place where we can learn lessons is from is big business. A recent article by Peter Gasca in Inc. magazine called “Get Your Message Heard With This Simple 5- Step Checklist” offers helpful tips to the suicide prevention community. The 5-Step Checklist for Effective Messaging Add Value — does your message improve the lives of those who receive it? Is it helpful? Is there a clear call to action? Be Clear — does your message get to the point and have a direct call to action? Are you using jargon or acronyms? Be Concise — does your message use as few words as possible? Better yet — have you considered an infographic to convey your message? Be Compelling — does your message use urgency, storytelling, humor or something unexpected to get the receiver’s attention? How are you engaging others? Be Credible — are you trustworthy? Use citations and get your information from highly credible sources. Recently, with major news coverage of the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why” and celebrity suicide deaths, we are having more conversations about suicide, but are we having the right conversations? Are we telling a more powerful tale? In this episode Dr. Bart Andrews shares his story of deciding to “come out” as a suicide attempt survivor, how he challenges “safe messaging guidelines,” and what he believes are most important suicide prevention messages need to be. About Dr. Bart Andrews bart andrews headshot B&W.png Bart Andrews, PhD, is Vice President of Telehealth & Home/Community Services at Behavioral Health Response. Dr. Andrews is the Chair of Missouri’s Suicide Prevention Network, Co-Chair of the Suicide Lifeline’s Standards, Training and Practices committee, a member of the Suicide Prevention Resource Center’s (SPRC) Steering Committee, an SPRC ZeroSuicide Academy Faculty member and member of the American Association of Suicidology’s Executive Board of Directors.

The Suicide Prevention Resource Center estimates that between 5 and 10% of LGBT youth, depending on age and sex groups, have attempted suicide, a rate 1.5-3 times higher than heterosexual youth. There is no issue more critical to safety and security in our schools than making sure all kids feel loved and protected by our schools, something our IEI superintendents work very hard to do in the schools they run. Author and occasional Reality TV star Jessica Herthel returns to visit with @dougroberts_iei as a follow-up from her presentation at the IEI Summit in Suncadia, WA in the summer of 2018. You can catch her on @Iamjazz_tlc or at @jessicaherthel. We also want to congratulate @jazzjennings_ on graduating at the top of her class and wish her luck at Harvard next year!

Choose Or Lose #5 Homosexuality By Louie Marsh, 3-24-2019 LOVE 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.  Eph. 4:15   Gallup reported the following percent of Americans identity as LGBTQ   3.5% in 2012 3.8 % in 2015 4.5 % in 2016 The percentage, which works out to more than 11 million U.S. adults.   The increase was driven primarily by millennials, defined as those born between 1980 and 1999, according to the report’s findings. In 2012, 5.8 percent of this cohort answered “yes” when asked, "Do you, personally, identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender?” In the 2017 estimate, that numbered jumped 40 percent to 8.2 percent of millennials.   Gay and Lesbian Medical Association admits that homosexuals "use substances at a higher rate than the general population," have "higher rates of alcohol dependence and abuse," and are subject to higher rates of "depression and anxiety."    The Suicide Prevention Resource Center estimates that between 5 and 10% of LGBT youth, depending on age and sex groups, have attempted suicide, a rate 1.5-3 times higher than heterosexual youth.   In U.S. lesbian, gay and bi adolescents and adults have two to six times higher rates of reported suicide attempts compared to comparable straight people.   I) God’s First & Authoritative Word On Human Sexuality   23  Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25  And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:23-25 (ESV)   Male & Female were made for EACH OTHER.   No homosexual relations exist here at all.   Marriage is solely between MALE & FEMALE.   World Map Of Gay Marriage   II) Disputed Texts   1) Sodom   4  But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house. 5  And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” 6  Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him, 7  and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. 8  Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 9  But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down. Genesis 19:4-9 (ESV)   They just wanted to get to know them.   Condemned for rape not homosexuality.   Condemned for not helping the poor   49  Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. 50  They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it. Ezekiel 16:49-50 (ESV)   22  You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Leviticus 18:22 (ESV)   2) David & Jonathan   26  I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant have you been to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women. 2 Samuel 1:25-26 (ESV)   3) Jesus never taught against homosexuality.   29  but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— Luke 17:29 (ESV) [Matthew 19:3-6]   Two graphics – one Jesus said some born gay – WRONG – he was talking about those who choose to have no sex and serve God celibate. Jesus affirmed gay couple – Jesus healed a man’s son!   4) Paul – “Natural” Vs. “Unnatural.”   18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth…26  For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27  and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. Romans 1:18,26-27 (ESV)   These are heterosexuals whose homosexual acts were unnatural to them.   These verses don’t speak of unnatural feelings but of natural function – Paul is concerned with what they DID not how they felt or saw themselves.   5) Paul – Condemnation of same-sex acts.   9  Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 1 Corinthians 6:9 (ESV) [1 Timothy 1:9-10]   Greek word here is not used elsewhere, probably refers to male prostitutes.   μαλακός is a literal translation of the Hebrew miskhav which means “lying together with a male.” Interestingly this word, literally translated “men who bed men” is very close to the term used today by the Center for Disease Control for homosexual men, “Men who have sex with men” or MSM.   III) The Real Issue   1) God condemns same-sex acts NOT same-sex ATTRACTION.   Being tempted is NOT A SIN.   15  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 (ESV)   2) My response to temptation is always the SAME.   Get AWAY FROM IT. 18  Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18 (ESV)   Recognize the source and RESIST HIM.   7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 (ESV)   3) Submission to God requires I ABSTAIN from all sex outside of marriage.   3  For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4  that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 (ESV)

The World Health Organization estimates that over 800,000 people die by suicide each year. Social workers often find themselves working in settings where suicide and parasuicidal behavior are of ongoing and significant concern and, therefore, are in need of specialized skills to address these potentially life-threatening situations. So, does social work education provide social workers with the resources needed to feel confident in addressing suicidal intentions? Have the response protocols in agencies that train and employ social workers kept pace with advances in dealing with suicidal behavior? In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Mirick shares her work developing a suicide intervention training program and the follow-up research she conducted to determine its impact on knowledge and confidence of those receiving the training.

Dr Julie Goldstein Grumet of the Suicide Prevention Resource Center discusses the resources offered by the Center
