Systems Must Include Three Levels of Care for Aftermath of SuicideFranklin Cook
The document discusses guidelines for providing support after a suicide and outlines three levels of care: immediate response, support services, and treatment services. It describes the goals and principles of each level. The immediate response involves crisis response, triage to identify high-risk individuals, and follow-up. Support services help people cope with grief and loss through information, guidance, and education. Treatment services are for those with mental health diagnoses and are provided by licensed professionals. The levels of care often overlap and distinguish support from treatment based on whether clinical interventions are being provided for a formal diagnosis.
The document proposes the creation of an app called Isupport that would allow people around the world to connect through online support groups for various health conditions. Face-to-face interviews found that while most people know what support groups are, access is limited. Respondents expressed strong interest in an app that allows anonymous participation in global support communities. Isupport aims to address the growing needs of chronic disease patients by connecting them to peers and clinicians anytime, anywhere.
The document discusses suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and risk factors. It provides information on assessing suicidal risk using tools like the SAD Persons scale. Key risk factors mentioned include psychiatric illnesses, substance abuse, losses, lack of social support, and prior attempts. The nursing process for managing suicidal patients involves crisis intervention, treatment of underlying conditions, safety planning, and connecting patients to long-term support systems. Guidelines are offered for both inpatient and outpatient care of suicidal individuals.
This document provides a list of resources for mental health support and female veterans.

Coping with Overdose Fatalities: Tools for Public Health WorkersFranklin Cook
Created by Franklin Cook of Unified Community Solutions for the Massachusetts Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, "Coping with Overdose Fatalities: Tools for Public Health Workers" covers basic practices that are likely to be helpful to frontline service providers in the immediate aftermath of a death from substance-use-related causes. It includes principles for agencies to consider and practical information about acknowledging death in the moment, coping with strong emotions, building a support system, getting extra support, and understanding this kind of grief.
Jerry elsie-weyrauch national-strategy-article-2002Franklin Cook
The National Strategy for Suicide Prevention was launched in 2001 as a collaborative effort between multiple government agencies and non-profit organizations to reduce suicide rates. It established 11 goals focused on improving awareness, reducing stigma, increasing access to treatment, and supporting those affected by suicide. SAMHSA plays a key role in connecting this strategy to states and communities through grants, resources, and programs supporting goals like a national suicide prevention technical center and a national crisis hotline network. The long-term effort aims to create lasting change through improved surveillance, guidelines, and evaluation of strategies to prevent suicide.
Enigmatic Nature of Suicide May Answer the Question "Why?"Franklin Cook
1) Survivors of suicide often struggle to understand why their loved one died by suicide and search for answers to explain the tragedy. However, every suicide involves some element of mystery as suicidal thoughts and behaviors can be complex and contradictory.
2) While factors like depression, addiction, and other mental illnesses may have contributed and provide some understanding, suicide ultimately stems from unbearable inner pain that the deceased believed could only be relieved by death.
3) Accepting some aspects of the suicide as unknowable and focusing on the relationship with the deceased rather than searching endlessly for causes may provide survivors with greater peace of mind and understanding.
The document summarizes Edwin Shneidman's "10 psychological commonalities of suicide" which are:
1) The common purpose is to seek a solution to intense suffering.
2) The common goal is cessation of consciousness to end the suffering.
3) The common stimulus is psychological pain or "intolerable emotion."
4) The common stressor is frustrated psychological needs like belonging, success, security or love.

This document provides a list of over 50 references related to substance abuse, suicide prevention, and counseling. The references include journal articles, reports, books, training materials, and websites that cover topics such as integrating motivational interviewing with cognitive behavioral therapy to prevent suicide, alcohol use and suicidal behaviors, suicide risk assessment standards, warning signs for suicide, and addressing suicidal thoughts in substance abuse treatment.
This document provides information about resources for support and safety, including a wallet card from SAMHSA and a mobile app called my3. It was created by Unified Community Solutions and last updated in June 2015, and allows for non-commercial reprinting with attribution to the original creator.
This document provides resources for reducing suicide risk including links to websites on counseling access to lethal means, safety plans to reduce suicide risk, and a training film on addressing suicidal thoughts in substance abuse treatment. It also lists organizations such as the Harvard School of Public Health and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that have information on lethal means safety.
Facts: Substance Abuse and Suicide (MA version)Franklin Cook
Substance abuse is strongly associated with increased risk of suicide in several ways:
1) Individuals with substance use disorders have a much higher lifetime risk of suicide attempts and deaths by suicide.
2) The presence of acute intoxication increases risk of suicide by exacerbating feelings of depression and hopelessness while impairing judgment.
3) Risk is particularly high following discharge from substance abuse treatment or psychiatric facilities. Substance use disorders commonly co-occur with mood disorders to form a "vicious circle" increasing suicide risk.
Counseling clients and their families on reducing access to lethal means can help prevent suicide. For many suicide attempts, only a short time elapses between the decision to attempt suicide and the actual attempt. Removing access to firearms, medications, and other lethal items gives at-risk individuals options to reconsider and allows others to intervene during a crisis. Counselors should discuss removing lethal means, provide storage options, and check on ongoing compliance as part of suicide prevention efforts.
This document provides a framework for assessing suicide risk by asking about suicidal desire, intent, plans, and capability. It includes example questions to ask about suicidal thoughts, plans, prior attempts, and details on thoughts, preparations, and past attempts. It concludes with summary questions about exposure to suicide, familiarity with danger, level of psychological pain, and likelihood of suicidal action. The document is adapted from several scholarly sources and provides guidance on evaluating suicide risk through open and direct questioning.

Impact of Suicide on People Exposed to a FatalityFranklin Cook

The original document is available free for download at bit.ly/respondingsuicide.
This summary report concludes that:
The research delineated above represents the solid and growing body of evidence that, for a significant number of people exposed to the suicide fatality or attempt of another person, there are long-term, harmful mental health consequences. Shneidman’s declaration (1972) that postvention is prevention for the next generation is unquestionably supported by clear and overwhelming evidence that exposure to the suicide of another person, particularly of a close intimate, elevates the risk of suicidal behavior and of death by suicide in the population of people exposed.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
