The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 청소년의 소리| The One With The Mental Health Panel – Three Voices, One Mission: Breaking the Silence on Youth Suicide | Episode 29 (2025)⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses suicide and depression. Please take care of your heart before you listen.How do we talk honestly about youth suicide, parenting, and mental health in communities where silence has been the norm? In this episode of The More Sibyl Podcast, we present a raw, necessary, and profoundly human conversation on one of the most pressing issues of our time.Joined by Dr. Jessica Puri, Dr. Mathero Michelle Nkhalamba, and Doc Ayomide, this panel takes us inside the struggles too often hidden behind children's smiles. From Jessica's courageous story of attempting suicide at eight years old, to Michelle's reflections on breaking cycles of toxic parenting, to Ayomide's insights on why children need the language of emotions, each voice calls us to pay closer attention to the silent battles our young people fight.Together, we explore what it means to create psychologically safe environments in homes, schools, faith-based spaces, and communities. We discuss how technology can be guided by wisdom rather than fear, why parents must confront their own unresolved trauma, and how the phrase “it takes a village” is more than just a proverb.This episode offers more than reflection. It is a blueprint for prevention, equipping parents, teachers, and communities with tools to name emotions, build safe support networks, and confront the “not my kid” mindsetWhether you're a parent, teacher, or caring friend, you'll leave with the tools to spot silent suffering and the courage to discuss it openly.

You are not alone.Teen suicide is one of the most challenging topics we face as a community, yet it's crucial we address it head-on. Listen to this conversation with Stanford's Shashank Joshi, MD and CHC's Jennifer Leydecker, LMFT as we talk about youth suicide and explore comprehensive prevention strategies that work at the community level. Our conversation includes an examination of what makes teens vulnerable today, including the complex role of social media and digital environments in both creating risk and offering protection. We explore how factors like LGBTQ+ identity, bullying, academic pressure, and family dynamics intersect with suicide risk, particularly here in Silicon Valley and the SF Bay Area, where we've experienced the profound loss of teens to suicide. Rather than shy away from this difficult reality, we address it directly to strengthen our prevention efforts.Resources:CHC OnlineSign Up: CHC's Parent Support GroupsCHC's Catherine T.

Talking about suicide and its myths can save lives. Easha Kapur (UCL Politics and International Relations BSc, 2025) takes on the critical issue of youth mental health, aiming to debunk prevalent myths that often hinder young people from seeking vital support. She interviews her father, Professor Navneet Kapur, Professor of Psychiatry and Population Health. He's a leading expert on the subject of self-harm and suicide. This podcast makes complex academic insights accessible, addressing the rising psychological stress among youth. It's important listening for young people, teachers, and caregivers hoping to understand and support mental wellbeing.The episode directly challenges common misconceptions, revealing that talking about suicide generally does not increase its likelihood. It corrects the notion that suicide rates surged during the pandemic, noting they actually fell due to social cohesion. A key focus is men's mental health, dispelling the myth that men don't seek help by highlighting that 90% of men at high suicide risk had indeed sought assistance. The discussion also debunks the idea that suicidal thoughts are merely attention-seeking or exclusively linked to diagnosed mental illness, emphasizing underlying issues and broader societal factors.Finally, the podcast explores the dual impacts of social media on mental health, offering guidance on navigating online information and highlighting the roles of educators, parents, and legislators. It advocates for sensitive language like “died by suicide” to reduce stigma.Note: If you or someone you know is struggling with self- harm or suicide, help is available 24/7 via the Samaritans helpline on 116 123.FeaturingEpisode producerEasha Kapur (Politics and International Relations BSc, 2025) https://www.linkedin.com/in/easha-kapur-102087184/?originalSubdomain=ukInterviewerEasha Kapur (Politics and International Relations BSc) https://www.linkedin.com/in/easha-kapur-102087184/?originalSubdomain=ukIntervieweesProfessor Navneet Kapur, Professor of Psychiatry and Population Health https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/nav.kapurHostProfessor Joe Cain, UCL Professor of History and Philosophy of Biology in UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) https://ucl.ac.uk/sts/cainMusic creditsInside Easha's episode“Windows Night Celeste Loop” By Liecio, public domain, https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/windows-night-celeste-loop-132289/Episode introduction and exit"Rollin at 5" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http:// Podcast informationEpisode informationWeAreSTS is a production of the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) at University College London (UCL).

Don't kid yourself, this isn't about saving money - saving the lives of America's at-risk youth is apparently just too "woke" for the MAGA agenda.
After one of the most respected child advocacy agencies in the world ranked New Zealand the lowest out of 36 countries for youth mental health, the appalling figure was widely quoted. The report on global child wellbeing also highlights New Zealand as having the worst rate of youth suicide. But two Auckland University researchers are disputing that figure, and now a former UNICEF Aotearoa employee is backing their claims. Davina Zimmer reports.

Signs of systemic failures when it comes to our children. UNICEF's Innocenti research reveals New Zealand's recorded the highest child suicide rate of 36 countries, and ranks last for mental wellbeing. It also finds we have one of the highest rates of child obesity and bullying. UNICEF Aotearoa's Tania Sawicki Mead told Ryan Bridge that although some of the decrease in life satisfaction can be attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic, it wasn't the only factor. She says that the suicide rate didn't shift significantly enough over the period pre- or post-Covid to make a dent in the statistics. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Before pretty much every kid had a smartphone, Sarah Cavallero saw upset teens yelling or throwing things across the room at Teton Youth and Family Services. Now instead of acting out, she sees kids turning their suffering inward: self-harming, and suicidal as young as 9 years old. Dr. Corso, a licensed clinical psychologist and board-certified behavior analyst, has been working with Cavallero on suicide prevention for four years. The founder of ProsperTogether.net, Corso says social media has fundamentally changed youth brain development, but we can't treat technology as all bad. The more we talk directly about suicide, he says, the more it makes it safe for people in crisis to speak up. “This is a safety issue,” he says, “just like we talk to our kids about fire safety or safe touches.” Cavallero and Corso have joined forces leading the 2025 Youth Mental Health Summit from May 14-16. The three-day event is free for kids under 18 and tickets for adults are available online. KHOL is a sponsor of the summit.
You can save kids and taxpayer money by making neighborhoods safe!Gangs, child abuse, human trafficking, youth suicide, and drug abuse are not just horrific societal ills, they come at an astonishing cost to the taxpayer: by estimates over $2 trillion annually. The plain fact is that none of this is inevitable, and much of it is preventable. We all can learn about crime prevention and making neighborhoods safer. As a community leader, neighborhood organizer, county coordinator, and state consultant, Mann has forty years of experience as a crime and violence prevention expert. She is the author of five books on empowering our communities and keeping kids safe. Her first book, “Alternative to Fear: Guidelines to Safer Neighborhoods” helped launch the national Neighborhood Watch Program. She is also the founder of the Safe Kids Now Network LLC.Most Americans love freedom and focus on family support and a spiritual understanding of self. However, many young people lack self-awareness, making them easy targets for manipulation, we can be effective, she exclaims. https://safekidsnow.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Those statistics are alarming to most people, but they're not surprising to Yale Child Study Center (YCSC) Chief Resident and Child Psychiatry Fellow Dr. Amanda J. Calhoun. “Experiences of anti-Black racism affect kids before they are even born,” says Dr. Calhoun. The stress of anti-Black racism...

TRIGGER WARNING: This week's episode is about the sensitive topic and themes around youth suicide awareness & prevention. The number one cause of death of youth today is suicide. And although boys may have a higher death rate from suicide attempts, girls have a higher attempt rate. As adults who work closely with girls in K-12, we have a special role in recognizing warning signs and helping girls see another way out when it feels like there isn't one. Our guest today, Suzi Freeman, works with both teens and their adults to build resilience, healthy coping mechanisms, and suicide prevention. Suzi offers suicide prevention certification classes for parents and adults working with kids, and she's offered us two great NO-COST options to get as many of us certified as possible: For a self-paced course (100% free): https://www.suzifreeman.com/suicide-prevention Use code SCOUTS to waive the registration fee OR Join us live (**I'll be there!!!**) for a Troop Leader Experience certification course + Q&A (100% free): https://www.suzifreeman.com/service-page/live-qpr-certification-virtual Use code ScoutsLive to access and book that for free.

A perfectly well-meaning bill introduced by freshman Rep. Omari Crawford passed out of the Georgia House and went into yesterday's Senate education subcommittee hearing, where five ultra-right wing measures - some explicitly anti-LGBTQIA+ - were attached to it. Hear Crawford present his bill, ask that only it be considered (it wouldn't be) and then hear Sen. Clint Dixon pile on the "red meat" that couldn't get out of Senate Rules committee already. All these GOP measures are backed by Lt. Governor Burt Jones - an announced gubernatorial candidate for the 2026 cycle, incidentally. Hear Senators Elena Parent and Sonya Halpern skewer this nonsense. Then I'm joined by Jeff Graham, executive director at Georgia Equality for reaction and their planned on-site response at the gold dome.

In 2019, the state of Hawai‘i led the nation in the number of teens who attempted suicide at least once in high school. According to the U.S. Office of Adolescent Health, one out of every 10 Hawai‘i teens tried to commit suicide. On July 1 of that year, youth suicide became very real to Chad Starr, when Chad's 12-year-old daughter Sienna took her own life. Since then, Chad has been on a crusade to share his message of hope and awareness.Support the showFollow us on: YouTube Instagram Twitter Facebook TikTok

In today's episode, Dr. Gaggino and her guest, Dr. Alejandra Arango, explore the critical role of safety planning in preventing child suicides. Their heartfelt conversation takes a deep dive into the intricacies of safety planning within various settings, highlighting the effectiveness of individualized plans, coping strategies, and community crisis resources. Creating a meaningful safety plan in just 20 minutes is not only realistic, but essential in a primary care setting. By involving all staff, from doctors to nurses to administrators, we can truly make a difference in the lives of our children. Standardized screening protocols and readily accessible safety plans in medical records make the process more feasible. Remember, a safety plan is part of a comprehensive suicide prevention approach that includes screening, assessment, evidence-based interventions, and crisis support. A unified team will provide the support and resources needed to guide our young ones through the darkest times. So, grab your headphones and get ready to learn invaluable insights that will empower you to create safe environments for our young ones, ensuring their well-being and building a brighter future. [05:58 -17:27] Importance of Tailoring Safety Plans to IndividualsThe effectiveness of a safety plan is enhanced when the person themselves contributes ideas on how to distract or cope with distressing thoughts.Safety plans should go beyond simply checking off boxes and should encourage open discussions about strategies for managing difficult situations.Providers should actively engage with patients to understand their unique warning signs and triggers.Safety plans should be regularly updated and revised to ensure they remain relevant and effective.[17:28 - 28:24] Specificity in distraction strategies Consider options like watching videos of cats, playing a specific video game, or listening to a certain songEncourage team members to be specific about what engages them personallyHighlight the importance of finding activities that pull the brain's attentionSuggest coloring or other activities that require focus and concentration[28:25 - 43:57] Safe Storage of Firearms and MedicationsProper storage methods for firearms, such as gunlocks or safesSeparating ammunition from firearms and keeping them in secure locationsEducating families on safe storage practicesDiscussing potential barriers and feelings associated with safe storageIncluding over-the-counter medications in safe storage practices[43:58 - 55:06] Integrating Safety Plans into Medical Records Standardized screening and assessment protocols for providersIncorporating safety plans into the medical record systemEasy accessibility of safety plans for healthcare professionalsStreamlining the process of pulling up safety plans during consultationsEnsuring safety plans are readily available for problem-solving with the youth[55:07 - 01:04:09] Closing segment TakeawayLinks to resources mentioned on the showStanley Brown Safety Plan...
https://swiy.co/WhatAreYourThoughtsTRIGGER WARNING: Please note that this episode contains a discussion of suicide, self-injurious behavior, depression and/or reference of other mental health disorders that may act as triggers.In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Lia Gaggino invites Dr. Lisa Horowitz back to the mic to discuss important aspects of suicide prevention programs and validation studies. They specifically focus on the role of pediatricians in identifying and supporting young people who may be at risk. They introduce the Brief Suicide Safety Assessment (BSSA), a tool that can help in these situations. Dr. Horowitz emphasizes the importance of using appropriate language when discussing suicidality with parents, offering a valuable perspective that can change how we approach this sensitive topic. This episode serves as a reminder of how crucial it is for caregivers to provide guidance, support, and reassurance to children, and to make them aware of available resources when facing challenges. Just like we talk to our children about topics such as safe sex or drugs and alcohol, discussing resilience should also be an ongoing conversation. Caregivers must equip children with coping mechanisms rooted in resilience to prepare them for the future. So together, let's create a community where children feel safe to ask questions, without fear of judgment or stigma. By investing time today in building resilient kids, we can nurture a generation capable of overcoming any hurdles they may encounter tomorrow. [02:37 -12:30] Screening Practices and Feasibility StudiesSeveral studies demonstrate the feasibility of screening practices.Screening can be effective in identifying acute and non-acute cases.The fifth question in the screening process determines the acuity of the situation.Comprehensive toolkits provide scripts and guidance for medical professionals.[12:31- 23:41] Brief Suicide Safety Assessment (BSSA) Specifically created with pediatricians in mind to aid in suicide risk assessment.Aims to remind pediatricians about essential elements of the BSSA.Serves as a middle step in the pathway of suicide screening programs.Offers a triage of the screening process to further assess and prioritize patients.[23:42 -31:52] Practical Next StepsDetermine urgency: Assess immediate need for intervention based on the frequency and severity of the thoughts Provide support: Offer a listening ear and a calm presence to help the individual express their feelings and thoughts comfortably.Safety measures: Talk about the importance of safety, including lethal means safety, especially when firearms are involved, to prevent any potential harm.What's next: Based on the assessment and discussion, determine the appropriate disposition or action plan to address the individual's needs effectively.[31:53- 39:49] Importance of Taking Action and Finding Support Emphasize the difference between doing nothing and doing something.Stress that it is acceptable for plans to change if the initial approach is not working.Assure individuals that there is a process and plan in place to keep them safe.Offer the option for a follow-up call from your staff to inquire about their well-being, providing a sense of reassurance and support for parents.[39:50 - 48:05] Closing segment TakeawayLinks to resources mentioned on the showNIMH ASQ Toolkit:
One of the most concerning trends in child health is the increase in suicide rates over the last two decades in the United States. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in teenagers and young adults, and we should be alarmed both as pediatricians and citizens. We also need to ask questions about what this says about our society, what kind of promise and opportunity kids see for themselves, whether they are receiving the support they need, and if our healthcare system has the capacity to manage kids before and during a mental health crisis. As part of our ongoing mental health series, in this episode we discuss the alarming increase in suicide rates and some potential solutions to prevent suicide in children. Guests: Lisa Horowitz, PhD, MPH, is a pediatric psychologist and senior associate scientist at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and is a principal investigator at the NIMH studying detection of suicide risk in the medical setting. Jeff Bridge, PhD, is an epidemiologist and director of the Center for Suicide Prevention and Research in the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He is also the Nationwide Foundation Endowed Chair of Innovation in Behavioral Health Research and professor of pediatrics, psychiatry and behavioral health at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Today we're talking about Biden's State of the Union address last night. We cover some of the funniest moments from the night – Biden gaffes included – but we also break down some of the topics he brought up, from the praise of abortion (cue roaring applause from the Democrats) to violence and gun control to taxes and oil. The Republicans were particularly heated throughout the speech, yelling back at the president's claims on fentanyl at the border and the GOP's supposed plans for Social Security. We debunk some of Biden's claims, and we take a look at Sarah Huckabee Sanders' response on behalf of the GOP. --- Timecodes: (00:40) State of the Union (05:45) Jill Biden kiss (07:54) Biden gaffs (11:13) Abortion (19:40) "Transgender young people" (24:52) Violence (28:04) Fentanyl (33:04) Social security (37:05) Taxing the rich (40:15) Oil (43:13) GOP response --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.

The left continues to push the narrative that so-called "gender-affirming care" for kids (puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones) is necessary to prevent youth suicide. But in reality, the data tell a totally different story, and parents are often kept in the dark. On this episode, we talk with Jay Greene about his new report that shows "gender-affirming care" is not only dangerous for kids, but also why parents (not government) must be empowered to make decisions for their kids.Show Notes:Puberty Blockers, Cross-Sex Hormones, and Youth Suicide Does “Gender-Affirming Care” For Trans Kids Actually Prevent Suicide?

Today we are going to talk about the betrayal that conservatives feel over Fox News celebrating the gender transition of a small child. What does this mean and why does this matter? Should we continue to support Fox News? What does this tell us about the nature of companies and institutions? What do we think of this as Christians? We also take a look at a report by the Heritage Foundation that has data debunking many common leftist narratives on gender, like the idea that not affirming a child who claims to be transgender will ruin his or her life. Lastly, we go through an important Twitter thread written by a de-transitioned man who shares from personal experience the damage he suffered as a result of being prescribed puberty blockers as a teenager. --- Today's Sponsors: My Patriot Supply — save $150 on a 3-month emergency food kit at PrepareWithAllie.com Birch Gold — text 'ALLIE' to 989898 to get your free, no-obligation info kit on gold from Birch Gold Annie's Kit Clubs — all subscriptions are month-to-month, & you can cancel anytime!

Despite feeling the impacts of a global pandemic, many people still view health as a personal issue. But what would happen if we began to look at health from a worldwide lens, one where health is not a luxury, but a fundamental human right? In this episode, hear from Kim Goldsmith-N'Diaye, Director of Development at Doctors Without Borders and Amanda Ryan-Smith, Chief Development Officer for the Trevor Project. Both guests operate from the philosophy that all people – regardless of location or economic background – deserve quality healthcare. With a scarcity of healthcare access around the globe and a rise in mental health issues amongst younger people, both guests are a testament that a sort of ‘collective caring' and awareness is the first step towards solving this massive and complicated issue.
