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.

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.

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.

WARNING: This story contains sensitive subject matter, including suicide and self-harm, that could be triggering for some readers. Guest: Sheila Wang, investigative reporter A new study has revealed that tons of mercury dumped as industrial waste upstream of Grassy Narrows First Nations decades ago has contributed to the community's youth attempting suicide at a rate three times higher than that of other First Nations in Canada. Residents of the community have long reported tremors, slurred speech, impaired hearing, tunnel vision and lost muscle co-ordination, but this is the first time a direct connection has been made between mercury contamination and the deteriorating mental health of the younger generation. We take a look at this new information and its significance. Audio sources: Star files, Global News, APTN News This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz and Sean Pattendon. If you are thinking of suicide or know someone who is, there is help. Resources are available online at crisisservicescanada.ca or you can connect to the national suicide prevention helpline at 1-833-456-4566, or the Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868.

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.  For more information on Children's Hospital Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org  

Suicide is one of the top three leading causes of death among children, youth and young adults under the age of 34. Adolescents who have had negative life experiences can be more prone to suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts. It's something that we need to talk about more openly, says Natalie Scanlon, Ph.D., assistant professor and clinical psychologist in the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. Dr. Scanlon tells us what warning signs to look out for, how to help someone who is struggling and where to get help. Free and confidential services:The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Lifeline Chat is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Spanish language: Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 1-888-628-9454.

The rise in adolescent suicides is an alarming trend, gaining global attention in recent years. Youth and young adults ages 10-24 comprise 15% of suicide deaths in the United States and are the second leading cause of death amongst this age group. Amidst these grim statistics, the essential role of educational institutions in suicide prevention is now more pertinent than ever, with educators enlisted to embrace a preventative, proactive approach to fostering a safer environment for their students. Schools recognized the need to address student mental health during the pandemic.How can schools effectively intervene in this escalating crisis? What changes in approach and understanding are necessary to make schools integral players in suicide prevention?In today's episode of School Safety Today by Raptor Technologies, host Michelle Dawn Mooney sat down with Dr. Amy Grosso, Mental Health Consultant, to shed light on this vital issue. The pair discussed comprehensively saving young lives and a school's role in adolescent suicide prevention. Mooney and Grosso's conversation includes the following:• The importance of a holistic approach to suicide prevention and the actionable steps schools can implement to bolster their existing protocols.• The necessary shift in perception regarding mental health in schools, broadening the understanding of what constitutes suicide prevention work.• The value of collaboration between social workers and law enforcement in handling mental health crises in schools, and the challenges and benefits of integrating these two professions.Dr. Amy Grosso brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience. Her background involves a Ph.D. in counseling and counselor education and a history as a mental health counselor. More recently, she has worked with a school district to develop suicide protocols and threat assessment procedures, even creating a model of school policing where social workers and police work together. Highly active with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for the past five years, Dr. Grosso also serves on their national chapter leadership board, working to help others understand that suicide is preventable and what education is needed.

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.

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.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
