Podcasts about zero suicide

The conversation in this episode dives into suicide prevention, stigma, and the changes needed to get to Zero-Suicide. Synopsis: The Usual Place host Natasha Ann Zachariah hunts for new perspectives on issues that matter to young people. In Singapore, suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people aged between 10 and 29.  A 160-page white paper report called Project Hayat (meaning ‘life' in Malay) was launched in conjunction with World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept 10 by advocacy group SG Mental Health Matters. Project Hayat outlines a national suicide prevention strategy for Singapore, and laid out its own research findings and 23 recommendations for addressing the gaps in suicide prevention here.In this episode, host Natasha Ann Zachariah finds out how we could talk more openly about suicide matters among young people, and what more can be done to address the gaps in support. Her guests on the show are the project's co-lead Dr Rayner Tan, 35, who is from the National University of Singapore's Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health.  Shantini Sathiyanesan, 38, calls herself a “wounded healer” for her journey through suicidality, and also for having experienced the grief of losing someone to suicide. Highlights (click/tap above): 2:55 Has Project Hayat's data studies shown unique barriers specific to minorities in society?  5:30 How to tell if someone has suicidal thoughts; passive and active suicide ideation; what is psychache (psychological pain)?  9:25 Shantini shares her own lived experience of suicidality - having suicidal thoughts, ideation, and losing someone to suicide -  despite living a highly functioning life 13:58 What is the suicide question and why is it important to ask it?

September 5, 2023 ~ Dana Lasenby, CEO of Oakland Community Health Network, talks with Guy Gordon about Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and their Zero Suicide approach.

In 2022, the leading cause of death for teens and young adults is suicide. Le Bonheur Children's Hospital has treated patients as young as 5 years old for self-injury, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempt. Those who attempt or die by suicide do so because they cannot imagine a better day. For more than 71 years, the journey to a healthier childhood has led thousands of children and their families to Le Bonheur. That's why Le Bonheur was one of only 16 hospitals in the country selected to develop a pediatric-specific approach to the youth mental health crisis, through a grant made possible by Children's Hospital Association, Cardinal Health, and Zero Suicide. Le Bonheur's program is called Hope Journey. Senior Director of Emergency Services Barbie Stewart is here to talk about childhood suicide and how we can help in the fight to keep children safe.

This week on The New P&L Deep Discussion we speak with the amazing Steve Phillip. For almost 30 years, Steve was a successful consultant, trainer and keynote speaker until December 4th 2019, when his life changed forever – it was the day his son Jordan took his own life. A truly devastating moment and sadly something far too many of us have also experienced in our own lives. In Jordan's memory, Steve established The Jordan Legacy in early 2020, to provide support to those struggling to cope with life or considering suicide.Over the last two years, Steve has traveled tirelessly throughout the UK and Europe delivering talks on the topic of suicide prevention to corporate organisations, communities and governments leaders, employees and policy makers. Steve's lived experience of suicide underpins his desire to help people understand that suicide is not an inevitable path for those struggling in life and that tragedy can be turned into hope with the right support, passion and focus. We discussed with Steve: · What the ambition of ‘Zero Suicide' means · Background to The Baton of Hope Nationwide Tour 2023 · How to support the Baton of Hope Nationwide Tour 2023 · The challenges of addressing mental health in the workplace · Why business needs to get serious about wellbeing · The role of leadership in driving awareness and action · Courses are not enough – why the support needs to also come afterwards · The role of language in defining and discussing suicide awareness and prevention · Why more focus and resources need to also be given to those who have lived through a suicide attempt or bereaved by suicide For those who would like to learn more about the work Steve and his team does as well as to access resources on suicide prevention and awareness, please go to: www.thejordanlegacy.com Learn more about the Baton of Hope Nationwide Tour 2023 and support it, go to: www.Batonofhopeuk.org E: steve@thejordanlegacy.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevephillipsalestrainer/ Instagram: @jordanlegacyUK https://www.instagram.com/jordanlegacyuk/ Twitter: @jordanlegacyUK https://twitter.com/jordanlegacyUK To learn more about The New P&L's new ‘Transactional to Transformational Leader' programme, go to: https://www.principlesandleadership.com/transformational-leadership-programme --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/principlesandleadership/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/principlesandleadership/support

IT'S HARD TO GET HELP THESE DAYSToday, Pat welcomes Paul Withall, the founder of Zero Suicide, to talk about the common cause of men's suicide and the difficulties men face in getting help in their dire situations. Tune in and learn more as Paul gives us eye-opening insights on this situation, only here in the latest episode of The Resilient Dad Show. RESILIENT HIGHLIGHTS:Introducing Paul WithallHow he started with Zero SuicideSuicide is not just related to mental healthThe most common ways men deal with challengesWhat services are available for menWhat happens when kids are segregated at schoolMental health is one thing, but there's also mental first aidThe importance of having a minister for menThe significance of the number 2,500 shoesWORDS OF RESILIENCEPAUL: Common cause of men's suicide“Most of the men suicides all got some sort of link to having a child or relationship breakdown, almost all whether it's caused from mental health or not, you know, there's got to be a proper service in place.”PAUL: The seed of kids' mental health problems“These kids then react at school, so when they're acting out at school, they might, stack differently, and because they're acting differently at school, in turn, they get singled out, the other kids don't want to hang around with them, because they've got problems, and this sort of stuff, which then and that's what's planted the seed to the mental health problems.”PAUL: Why do we need a minister for men“For 40 years, men and boys suicide have been 70% of all suicides. So the approach that they're using is not working, and it has failed. So that's why this minister for men needs to come in research the reasons why take into account all this stuff and start trialing different programs, different approaches, and listening not just to the major services, actually listening to men, listening to the women that have lost men, you know, If that's how we make a difference, finding out those underlying issues and asking these people what they think, would have made a difference.” Learn more about Paul in the links below:https://www.facebook.com/paulosuorousrexassouras.fishhttps://www.facebook.com/ZeroSuicide-Community-Awareness-Program-And-Walks-To-Prevent-Mens-Suicide-100110065093817/Connect with Pat:Pat Di Domenico | About Resilient DadIf you liked this episode or were inspired by the journeys it shares, or you have suggestions or your own stories to share, subscribe to the Resilient Dad podcast now and leave us a comment!

TRIGGER 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.    A national project called Zero Suicide aims to address the issue of suicide in the medical and mental health systems. The effort is founded on the idea that suicide can be stopped and that systems of medical and mental health care can do more to do so. Seven elements make up the entire Zero Suicide prevention strategy: LEAD, TRAIN, IDENTIFY, ENGAGE, TREAT, TRANSITION and IMPROVE. These elements insure a practical comprehensive approach to suicide care. In this episode, Dr. Gaggino interviews Dr. Julie Goldstein Grumet. Dr. Grumet is a clinical psychologist and public health expert. Dr. Grumet is the director of the Zero Suicide Institute at EDC, Inc. and she developed the Zero Suicide Toolkit to assist health and behavioral care leaders and leadership teams in implementing the seven elements (mentioned above) of the initiative.   Her goal has been to develop the framework, tools, and work schedules required for the Zero Suicide effort to be implemented effectively.     [00:30 - 06:29] Opening Segment Dr. Gaggino introduces us to Dr. Julie Goldstein Grumet Dr. Grumet tells us about her background and how she came into the field Julie recognized that the healthcare system had been left out of the first national strategy for Suicide Prevention. [6:30 - 9:41] How Dr. Grumet came to develop the Toolkit  First launched in 2014 Taking the guesswork out of implementing the recommendations    An organized, concise blueprint that outlines the seven elements [09:42 - 22:07] What makes this program so different?  Evidence based Fidelity  The Core Clinical Components: Screen, Risk Assessment followed up with a safety plan The seven elements: LEAD, TRAIN, IDENTIFY, ENGAGE, TREAT, TRANSITION and IMPROVE The clinical data and being completely “evidence based” is what makes this program work as well as it does. How Zero Suicide is about a culture shift These components bundled with the seven elements will not only keep the patient safe but will also keep the staff safe as well. [22:08 -48:39] Get comfortable having that conversation  Removing lethal means There are online courses you should take (see link below)  “I GOT THIS” ....   [48:40 - 54:26] Closing segment - Takeaways Thank you to Julie for her time today and to the entire ZS team at EDC for offering guidance and support for system change and ZS implementation. Zero Suicide is an aspirational goal and a methodology for suicide prevention.  In 2012, The Action Alliance included ZS as part of the National Strategy to transform healthcare systems.  ZS is a bundle of strategies that include both clinical components and implementation components.  Strap on your seat belt, this is your roadmap to better care. LEAD, TRAIN, IDENTIFY, ENGAGE, TREAT, TRANSITION, IMPROVE.  You can start at any spot though would HIGHLY recommend LEAD then TRAIN!!!   Many of you are already doing IDENTIFY with PHQ screening as we were.  With the new BF guidelines to add suicide screening this is a perfect opportunity to use TRAIN to implement ASQ or CSSR-S screening. Clinical components include screening, risk assessment, safety planning, lethal means safety, care transitions, hand-offs and caring contacts.   Implementation components include training a “competent, caring and confident staff (us too!), continuous quality improvement/data collection, and fidelity to the model. ZS is a culture shift – the system/hospital/practice bears the responsibility to care for patients using evidence-based strategies that work.  These are not home-grown tools - all of the tools/methods are backed by research.  Consider the medical model -asthma, we know

Building on the qualitative theme of Experience in the AWARE framework is the phenomenon of Creep Crash Crawl. The episode describes how risk taking gradually creeps up due to suicide being a rare event, rare events cause confirmation bias, what I decided clinically was the right decision...This results in a Creep up of risk taking which is inevitably followed by a Crash down of risk taking when an untoward incident happens, after that risk taking Crawls along for a while. Reflective practice and mindful supervision of one's risk taking is the key grounding one's risk threshold.

Dr Meredith Chapman visits the studio as we consider teenage suicide. We explore the scope of the problem, risk factors, screening tools and prevention strategies, including organizational efforts such as Zero Suicide. We hope you can join us!

 Welcome back dads!! This week we are continuing our detour from your regularly scheduled programming because there has been such chaos in the world and I know a lot of parents are struggling to figure out how to talk to their kids about what is going on and I wanted to try to help. So I reached out to a new friend of mine who is another podcasting pediatrician who had a great episode on this topic when those of us in Michigan were shaken by a school shooting in Oxford, MI that you may have seen on the national news.  I'm very grateful to Dr. Lia Gaggino for making time last minute to get together to record with me so we can get this out to you as soon as possible and try to help in some small way.Dr. Lia Gaggino (IG: @pediatricmeltdown, Twitter: @gagginol) is a primary care pediatrician practicing on the west side of Michigan for over 30 years. From 2015 to 2020, she served as the Kalamazoo-based Bronson Healthcare System medical director of behavioral health implementing Zero Suicide practices and building integrated behavioral health in primary care.Dr. Gaggino is the founder of Medical Behavioral Health Solutions, LLC offering support to clinicians and systems and the host of the pediatric meltdown podcast featuring experts on children's emotional well-being. She currently sits on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) board of directors, partners closely with the Michigan chapter of the AAP and is a consultant to the University of Michigan MC3 Child Psychiatry Access Program.Here are a couple key takeaways from my conversation with Dr. Gaggino.We truly have to put our own oxygen mask on first. We need to find a balance between our need for new information and our ability to regulate our emotions. You will likely need some time with the tv off and the phones away to reconnect with loved ones to help you maintain your sanity. For younger kids, you have a little more control over what they consume, so try to limit their exposure to some of the scarier images if you can. Their main priority is going to be their safety, so you may have to offer them more reassurance than you are used to, to help them understand that they are out of harm's way or that you are going to be with them to help keep them safe.School aged kids may or may not want to talk about these scary images, but the best way to know is to ask them about it. Even if they don't take you up on the offer, they will know that you are available when they do have questions, whether it's about this issue or something else in the future. They may also manifest their fear with misbehavior or sleep challenges. So have some grace when those attention-seeking behaviors start getting worse.Teenagers may be looking for ways to give back, so channeling that energy into your local community or finding ways for them to contribute in some small way These conversations are never easy, but your kids will probably have questions, so knowing where reliable sources of information are when it comes to child health, like healthychildren.org from the American Academy of Pediatrics to know where to start. It's important to be truthful in your interactions with your kids at every age. If you have more questions about how to talk to your kids, please connect with us on social media and let us know how we can help. Thanks as always to Phil Rabon, the Producer of the Docs2Dads Podcast.

According to LivingWorks, a global suicide prevention organization, we are more likely to come in contact with someone in need of suicide intervention than we are to come in contact with someone needing CPR. Why do you think there is less emphasis on suicide prevention and intervention skills compared to other negative health outcomes, from a societal perspective? The Public Health Insight Podcast discusses the levels of suicide prevention (i.e., universal, selective, and indicated) and provides an overview of the various suicide prevention models or frameworks, such as the Socio-Ecological Model, Zero Suicide, Mental Health Commission of Canada’s Roots of Hope, and other community-led models. The conversation concludes with an analysis their strengths and limitations, and other community strategies moving forward to invest in holistic suicide prevention.If you or someone you know has been thinking about or impacted by suicide, you are not alone. For our listeners in Canada, Crisis Services Canada offers a national suicide prevention hotline which can be reached at 1-833-456-4566 or by text at 45645.

Mercado Discusses Objective Zero Suicide Prevention App on Credit HourVERMILLION, S.D. – Major Chris Mercado, ’04, founder of Objective Zero, discussed his military service and suicide prevention efforts on the podcast Credit Hour. “What we’re doing with Objective Zero is crowdsourcing peer support,” said Mercado. “The idea is that we’re trying to get ahead of those downward spirals into suicide by providing peer support as a pre-crisis service.”Objective Zero was established in 2015. It released a mobile app in December of 2017 that instantly connects veterans-in-need to a community of fellow veterans, current service members and concerned citizens.Mercado mentioned the recent spike in suicide rates as an alarming trend amongst the military. “Early indications are that in 2020, suicide rates in the military are up over 2019 by 20 percent. In the U.S. army, suicide rates are up over 30 percent,” said Mercado. “It’s very concerning.”In 2017, Mercado was named the Military Times Service Member of the Year for the U.S. Army in recognition for founding Objective Zero, a suicide prevention platform. He has served five tours overseas, three during the surges in Iraq and Afghanistan, and earned three Bronze Star Medals, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, 10 Army Achievement Medals and the NATO Medal.Credit Hour is the University of South Dakota’s podcast highlighting the achievement, research and scholarship of its staff, students, alumni and faculty.

Every year on September 10th, individuals and organizations in over 50 countries connect and work together to prevent suicide, by supporting those who are struggling and to help those who are grieving. This year we will address this topic with Barbara Rubel the author of the fictional novel "But I Didn't Say Goodbye – Helping Families after a Suicide".  In her reader-friendly and well researched book, she addresses the loss of her father through suicide in a meaningful and thought provoking read, and discusses WHAT she learned in the process of grieving and healing. Barbara will share her unique approach to suicide prevention and post-vention, on how can develop personal resiliency and reclaim hope after loss in this month's "Bear Psychology radio show" on Realityradio101.com program. Whether you know someone who has attempted or completed suicide, or felt so much despair that you have considered it yourself ... we want to open up the dialogue today about this important topic. Let's start by clarifying that whatever is going on in your life today, the pain of the moment can elevate us to open up and and there are many people and sources of information that can provide relief. We will begin the conversation with two numbers and resource links so we have a safe reference point right from the start: In Canada: https://suicideprevention.ca/WSPD 1.833.456.4566 In the U.S.: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  1-800-273-8255 We will discuss: The WHY of suicide Reflect on feelings of anger, guilt and grief Barbara's own experience of losing her father to suicide and how she was able to reconstruct meaning into her life after such a sudden loss Learn about her unique Dual Process Model and 4 Tasks of Grief and apply them to the impact of suicide loss Does the current COVID-19 Pandemic complicate grief from suicide of someone in your life? Barbara will reflect from the lens of her own tragic loss and personal experience. What do you do when your father dies by suicide while you are in the hospital awaiting the birth of your triplets? What do you do when you can't attend your father's funeral because physician orders include complete bed rest? What do you do when you realize that you experienced a devastating loss and that you are not alone in that experience? You write a book and dedicate your life to helping others affected by suicide. Barbara Rubel's fictional characters in "But I Didn't Say Goodbye" are a compilation of what individuals may experience throughout their lifetime as a suicide loss survivor. "But I Didn't Say Goodbye: Helping Families After a Suicide" tells the story, from the perspective of an eleven-year-old boy Alex and his family, as they are rocked by suicide and reeling from the aftermath. Through Alex's eyes, the reader sees the transformation of feelings after going through death by suicide. New to the book's 3rd edition, each chapter ends with Alex reflecting 10 years later on his experience, introducing family members and friends in his recollections. Barbara Rubel has combined our modern academic theories of grieving, and the research that supports those theories, and then translated them into a readable story for anyone bereaved by suicide. The revised edition is an evidence-informed and contemporary treatment of a devastating form of loss that uses the artful device of a hypothetical case study to render it in human terms. Through the story, the reader understands what losing someone to suicide might be like for a family, how to make meaning of the loss, and ways to experience personal growth. This self-help book was revised to provide guidance and education for clinicians and families to help suicide loss survivors.

Very often in the world of suicide prevention we fall — as Frank Campbell says — into the “canyon of why.” Why did they take their life? Why didn't they tell someone? Why, why, why. We often over look that question “how”. On this podcast a panel of our nation's leaders on reducing access to lethal means tell us why the “means matter” in suicide prevention. They share innovative and effective collaborative strategies that help non-clinical people negotiate how to keep their homes safer from the tragedy of suicide. These strategies are based in a public-health approach and evolving partnerships with firearm owners, retailers and advocates. At the core of their success is a process of building bridges through mutual respect and shared values.About the PresentersCatherine Barber, MPACathy Barber B&W.pngCatherine Barber is a senior researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health's Injury Research Center where she led the effort to design and test the pilot for what is now the CDC's National Violent Death Reporting System.

This podcast is the beginning of a new occasional series where we interview Masters in Suicide Prevention. Jerry Reed, PhD, MSW, Education Development Center’s Senior Vice President for Practice Leadership and Lead for the U.S. Division’s Suicide, Violence, and Injury Prevention Portfolio, shares his professional journey from the early days of his career experience to his current position of being a well-known leader and expert in the suicide, violence, and injury prevention fields. Dr. Reed shares the background behind development of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (NSSP) and the launch of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention that ranged from the 1990s to today. Dr. Reed speaks to the importance of how sharing stories of personal loss coupled with action requests truly moved forward national policy on suicide prevention and how these stories of individuals with personal lived experience with ideation and attempts continue to advance our policy and practice today. Dr. Reed then explores ways to advance the 2012 revised NSSP, and thus reduce suicide, to include practical examples of what governments; businesses and employers; health care systems, injurers, and clinicians; schools, colleges, and universities; non-profit, community- and faith-based organizations; and individuals and families can do. The Zero Suicide initiative is explored as a very specific example for advancing Goal 8: Promote suicide prevention as a core component of health care services. Finally, Dr. Reed provided an overview of the major priorities of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention in effort to advance the NSSP, particularly to reduce the national suicide rate by 20% by 2025. A national coordinated response with additional resources are needed to attain that goal. We should celebrate the progress and continue to intentionally focus on this issue with time and resources such that eventually any person can use any door to access services when in a time of distress.

This week's podcast features the recording of a talk about suicide prevention and the 'Zero Suicide' initiative. Read more on the show page on our blog. https://blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/discursive/zero-suicide-an-idea-whose-time-has-not-and-should-not-come
