The podcast series featured over 50 guests from diverse backgrounds including subject matter experts, survivors, caregivers, and resource providers. Three main emergent themes were genuine connectedness saves lives, the importance of reducing stigma around mental health, and adopting a public health approach to suicide prevention. The series highlighted how small acts like checking in on others and encouraging help-seeking can make a difference, while broad collaboration is needed across all sectors to address the complex issue of suicide.
LiFE OF HOPE - a four part suicide awareness and prevention programDeeatra Kajfosz
LiFE OF HOPE provides programs and resources to help people better understand the topic of suicide risk factors, ideation, behaviors, and the LiFE that exists through HOPE and healing. Ours is a message of HOPE, because with hope, all things (even healing, happiness, forgiveness, and LiFE) are possible. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. While the feelings of isolation, fear, shame, and overwhelming helplessness are very real for those who come to believe their struggle to survive is one they can no longer endure, there is HOPE and a LiFE-time worth of living.
By working to provide community education, tools, and resources for improved coping during times of suicide ideation, we strive to prevent suicide attempts in Washington County. We believe that a reduction in suicide attempt will led to a natural reduction of lives lost to suicide.
Join our mission! Contact us today to learn more about our programs, events, and the many volunteer roles within LiFE OF HOPE!

MSUM's 2nd Annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes® - Rape & Abuse SignsMSUM Dragon Athletics
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® is a International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence. This will be the second year the All-American has lead this event. The event is on Sunday, March 25 in the CMU Main Lounge and Ballroom, and all members of the Fargo-Moorhead community are welcomed.
During the walk, women and men together will walk a mile around the campus of MSUM. Men will be given the opportunity to wear high heels to signify putting yourself in her shoes.
Last year’s event was a huge succes and all the Dragon teams had players that participated. Again this year student-athletes will be in attendance for the event, and you really should see a men’s basketball center in six inch heels.
In Conversation with Compassion & Care
This series of essays examines compassion and care in relation to gender. Through these accounts, we see a poignant reminder that acts of compassion are responses to pain, though delivering compassion takes courage and strength. Acts of violence against women questions whether inequality is embedded deep within societal and communities’ infrastructure, yet this does by no means exempt from individual accountability. Collectively, the essays in this series call for a change in how we deal with difference, how we deal with courage and respect for women, our mothers, our sisters , our daughters; I would like to thank all of the contributors for providing touching, yet hard hitting accounts of compassion and gender. All the people involved with careif, Trustees, International Advisors, Patrons, Friends, Supporters, etc give their time as volunteers. If you want to be part of this careif experience or indeed contribute your own testimony on Compassion and Care; email us at enquiries@careif.org

Homicide Victims Impact Training Through Cold Case Public Unit. This is a Certificate Course and can be used in understanding the Impact on Families that have Been Victimized through Homicide.
This powerpoint was used during my graduating presentation: "With 1 out of every 4 women experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault in their lifetime, with these crimes rising at a rate 4 times faster than other crimes, with the U.S. political environment rising to the effect of the infamous “War on Women,” we must ask ourselves at what point do we choose to stop being a bystander and actively engage in the traumatic events that are being perpetrated against the women we care about? Throughout this workshop, we will work to identify the ways in which women who have endured traumatic experience continue to endure oppression through judicial, social, and clinical reinforcements and how this stunts their healing."

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has seemed at the forefront of many news items recently and increasingly out there in the public domain. The statistics quoted in the UK are 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men are survivors, higher in other countries such as the USA. Indeed, most of our addiction clients tend to present with underlying trauma, many as a result of CSA. So as clinicians and treatment providers how do we deal with this epidemic in terms of numbers and the resultant increased disclosures and presentations?

Is trauma informed care really possible in mental health services?VMIAC
Keynote talk delivered at the 2018 Summer TheMHS Forum, in Sydney, Australia. Talk by our Human Rights Advisor, Indigo Daya.
While we know that trauma is a critical issue for most mental health consumers, we are also concerned that changes intending to implement trauma-informed practice are not always addressing the need. We highlight major issues to be resolved when considering the implementation of trauma-informed practice. This is too important to get it wrong.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

9. Risk Factors and
Warning Signs
(32 quotes)
By the time a service member gets to the point where they're suffering
so much that they come forward and say, “I'm not okay,” It’s very
common for a lot of other things in their lives to be negatively
impacted by their struggles, right? Their relationships, their work, , their
friendships, and other things. And then it's like a snowball effect.
We've got to get it way, way, way ahead before it's negatively
impacting their whole world, and then it's more difficult to recover
when you're falling apart in all areas of your life
I think it's more of like the perfect storm scenario. I think most people go
through this and they have this grief in them, and then there's little bitty
things that just work up to create this perfect storm.
And then, you know, Marines, aren't scared to pull the trigger. So kinda is
what it is. But I think people seek help from, from people who can't relate.
I think lots of time guys try to talk to their wives or a family member or
somebody that hasn't been where we've been.

10. Importance of
Connectedness
(14 quotes)
I truly believe in my heart of hearts that every single Airman who has
been a part of my circle needs to have at least one person they feel
like they can rely on. If that person is not you, that's okay.
At least encourage them. If it's not going to be you that they trust to
talk to, encourage them to speak to that one person, and maybe you
connect with that one person that they can support them. But
connection is huge because like I said, in my experience, most of it
has been people want to be heard without being judged.
Everybody plays a role in suicide prevention, and that. It's everybody's
responsibility too. So it's not just our behavioral health or mental health
providers. It's not just our chaplains or spiritual leaders. It is you. It is me. It is
our supervisor. Everybody has this role. And we can do simple things…a
critical thing we can all be doing is staying connected with one another.
Being there for each other, checking in with each
other. There's so many different mechanisms in which
we can do that. The phone call, a text, doing a zoom
video, just so many options. So that's the first thing we
can all do is be connected with one another. Ask if folks
are doing okay.

11. Reaching Out
To Support
(21 quotes)
So often when we get phone calls, the caller will think that they're the
only one that struggled with this. So they do feel isolated… So we help
them, we say, “Hey, look…this is pretty normal with what you're going
through, so let's figure this out together. Let's work together on this.”
And then we connect them to resources, we follow up and see how
that's going.
And we continue to work with them. Cause one thing we want them
to know is that there is help. And there's hope. We don't want folks to
feel like they're all alone and isolated and by themselves because
they're not.
A very, very important question. Everybody you says, you know, you see
somebody and say, “Hey, how you doing?” And you're not really asking,
how are you doing? So one of the things that we asked our family and
friends after we lost Daniel was to ask us, “how are you doing today?” It's
an entirely different question.
Emergent Themes
12. Reducing
Stigma
(25 quotes)
I work with firefighters paramedics, law enforcement, and there is a
large percentage that are prior military. And I immediately go back to
when I was getting out of the military and I wanted to go into law
enforcement.
And when you're doing that, you're applying for new jobs, you're
going through background processes. You're going through medical
screenings, maybe psychological screenings. And oftentimes you
don't want to share or relive what happened in the military, because
you're trying to forget about that. And you're trying to move on and
get this new career and basically have a fresh start. But the reality is
there is no fresh start.
It's okay not to be okay. I heard that first from my own Commandant
General Amos. I believe it's significantly helped overcome this stigma
which still raises its ugly head. To say that, it gave me as a Marine some
reassurance with my own injuries and knowing that I can no longer
operate at a hundred percent. It reassured me that I was able to function
at, still enabled me to contribute and be on this team called the joint
team or the U S MC team. And knowing that it's okay not to be okay.
Emergent Themes
13. Coordination
and
Collaboration
(19 quotes)
Community collaboration, coordination, collective impact, it has to
happen all the way up the line. And it's challenging because
everybody has their work to do. And so unless there is a coordinated
effort, which is what PREVENTS is trying to ensure that yes, do your
good work over there in your space, but let's make sure we have the
doors open so that silos don't prevent us from sharing and interacting.
I would love to see the big organizations, like you mentioned, like SAMHSA
and all of these guys that are supposed to be policy and procedure
makers, just like we did in the military. You always had your higher chain
of command, of your orders and who tells you what to do.
And it gets all the way down to the little guy who’s got to do it on the
ground. And there's always a disconnect in between there. What's really
got to get done and who gets what done?
Emergent Themes
14. Public Health
Approach
(19 quotes)
People, I hear people talk about wanting to get left of boom, but I’m
not sure that folks know how to do that or what to do. Perhaps that’s
one of the reasons that VA can be beneficial is that VA, if you get into
the VA system there are a lot of types of support within VA across it’s
different administrations and types of programs that you’re not going
to get from standard health insurance or at a standard doctor’s
office, right? If you ask and sometimes have to ask again, but you can
get connected with not just medical care, not just mental health
care, but in a growing number of VA medical centers have like
medical, legal partnerships. So you can get linked up with pro bono
legal services. If you have legal problems, you can get help with
financial issues if you get disability compensation
or access to your GI bill. Right? So these other things that
are getting at your overall quality of life.
That public health approach is particularly helpful because I think that
brings in all of those social determinants of health and we get beyond just
to focus on mental health care, but the whole person health, which I think
resiliency and the whole person health and the public health viewpoint
all kind of fit together pretty well.

15. Lethal Means
Safety
(11 quotes)
Personally. I really think there's a sense of relief that we're actually
talking about this. We know the statistics, right? Two thirds of all
firearms related fatalities in this country, two thirds suicide. Not
homicide. Accidents are at the lowest point since they've been
keeping records for 115 years. Accident deaths by firearms is three
tenths of a percent, homicides have been going down, but suicides
have not been going down.
We see the amount of interest amongst, for example, firearm retailers
on this topic…it's extremely gratifying and shows that, you know
what? There's an appetite for this education.
What struck me most coming along to the conference was that
the means were so very different in the UK, when people finally get
to that point, than they are in the States. Kind of the elephant in
the room bit, I guess.
The lack of or reduced access to firearms clearly has a significant
difference with UK veterans than it might do in the States where
they're much more widely available. The highest likelihood is
suffocation or hanging in the UK for those who take their own life,
as opposed to firearms, a considerably greater number in the
States.
Emergent Themes
16. Treatment
(16 quotes)
That’s the importance of the additive model of the public health
approach. It’s important that you do have those clinically based
interventions available and access to those clinically based
interventions. But you know what, although there’s a relationship
between depression and suicide, there’s not always a relationship
between suicide and depression.
So you need to be able to have the clinically based interventions that
address depression, that address substance use disorder that address
relationship problems and issues. But you also need to have the
community based intervention approach where all of us are looking
out for each other and all of us are ready to engage when we see
something.
When you're talking about suicide, you're typically not dealing with a
population that you have a lot of people in crisis at any one time. So it's
really about getting care in place early and often. So when someone's
starting to experience the stress that may come from the multiple hats
they wear within the National Guard the stress of the mission, balancing
all that with what may be happening at home in their personal life,
You really have to look at having that person get access
to services and care within their community
that they can leverage.
Emergent Themes
17. Impact of
Suicide Loss
(15 quotes)
I said, you know, all right guys, well we'll talk soon. And my husband
would essentially say, and I'm paraphrasing, but started to say, “well,
I'll see you guys at the next one.” And he didn't finish his sentence, but
the only time they were gathering really was to send another
paratrooper to heaven. And it was devastating to understand that.
We should never stop listening to the families, the surviving families. I never
miss an opportunity to stress this to every new and up and coming leader.
I tell them, do not miss an opportunity to listen to the families and listen to
their stories and learn from their stories and apply what you can based on
what you're learning to improve the policies that we make, the trainings
that are put in place, the research agendas that we design. That should
always be our starting point.
