Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among youth aged 15-24. Approximately 14 young people in this age group die by suicide every day. Firearms are the most common method of suicide regardless of gender or race. Over 90% of people who die by suicide had an underlying mental health condition such as depression. Warning signs of suicide in youth include talking about wanting to die, withdrawing from friends and activities, mood swings, impulsiveness and risk-taking behaviors. Parents and educators should take any suicidal thoughts or plans seriously, seek professional help, and remove access to lethal means to keep the youth safe.
Shasta County averages 38 suicide deaths per year, with the highest rates in men over 65 and Caucasian individuals. Approximately half of deaths involve firearms. Mental disorders, substance abuse, previous attempts, and stressful life events are leading risk factors. Warning signs include talking about suicide, seeking means, hopelessness, and withdrawing. If someone expresses suicidal thoughts, take it seriously, encourage professional help, and do not leave them alone if a crisis arises.

AFRICAN AMERICAN MENTAL HEALTH 2
Abstract
Everyone is susceptible to the development of mental health regardless of race, color,
gender, or identity. More than half of the citizens in the United States are recognized with a
mental illness in their lifetime, and African Americans are at higher risk of developing a mental
illness due to limited resources and other barriers. The challenge is further enhanced in the
community due to a stigma prevailing in the group that prevents most members from seeking
medical help. The lack of knowledge about mental illness calls for increased awareness of the
challenge, especially when the cond.
Foster care youth resource sheet may 2012LuiFer Tirado
Foster youth are at an increased risk of suicidal behaviors compared to other youth. Risk factors for foster youth include trauma, abuse, neglect, mental illness, substance abuse and family dysfunction. Warning signs of imminent suicide risk include threats or talk of self-harm, seeking access to lethal means, depression, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness. If a youth expresses suicidal thoughts or exhibits warning signs, caregivers should take them seriously, ask directly about suicidal plans, stay with the youth, remove lethal means and contact a mental health professional for help.
Unemployment can increase the risk of depression through various mechanisms. Losing a job can be a significant stressor that impacts one's self-esteem, social connections, daily structure, and financial security. The rate of depression is about 7% among the fully employed but rises to 13% among the unemployed. While unemployment does not directly cause mental health issues, it can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities or trigger the onset of depression. It is important for the unemployed to maintain routines, seek social support, and consider treatment options like counseling or medication if depressive symptoms interfere with functioning.
This presentation is an overview of depression (description, it’s prevalence, how it is diagnosed, etc.) and how it interacts with periods of job loss / unemployment. This is followed with some practical suggestions of what to do including ways to structure your job search / life style if / when you find yourself in this position.
This document discusses suicide prevention and intervention. It begins with an overview of global suicide statistics and risk factors. Common risk factors include mental illness, substance abuse, relationship or financial problems, and physical/sexual abuse. The document then outlines common warning signs like withdrawing from others, feelings of hopelessness, and making plans or notes. It discusses prevalent methods like hanging, poisoning, and firearms. The document concludes with strategies for prevention, like restricting access to lethal means and improving social support systems and healthcare to address mental health issues.
The document discusses mental health and illness, including definitions, causes, symptoms, stigma and discrimination, and the Indian Mental Health Act of 1987. Some key points covered include:
- Mental health is defined as a state of well-being and ability to cope with stress and function productively. Mental illness refers to conditions that affect cognition, emotion, or behavior.
- Mental illnesses have biological, psychological, and social causes, and are not due to personal weakness. They can cause suffering, disability, and increased mortality.
- The Indian Mental Health Act of 1987 aimed to safeguard rights of the mentally ill and regulate institutions, but was criticized for not fully reflecting medical considerations or removing criminal stigma.
This document discusses suicide awareness and prevention. It covers signs and symptoms of suicide like losing interest in activities or giving away possessions. Risk factors include family history of suicide, chronic illnesses, substance abuse and psychiatric disorders. Statistics show that most people communicate their suicidal intentions and that while more men die by suicide, women attempt it more. The document provides advice on what to do if someone shows signs of suicidal thoughts, like asking them directly but in a caring way, removing means of suicide, and seeking help through hotlines or support groups.

This document discusses common misconceptions about mental illness and provides facts to counter them. It begins by defining mental health and mental illness according to the WHO. It then lists several common misconceptions such as the ideas that mental illnesses are caused by supernatural forces, that only certain types of people experience them, or that seeking help makes the conditions worse. Each misconception is followed by a concise fact-based response explaining the real causes and nature of mental illnesses. The document aims to promote understanding and combat stigma by accurately informing about these conditions.
This document provides information on assessing and preventing late-life suicide. It discusses risk factors like prior suicidal thoughts or behaviors, mental illness, medical illness, and negative life events. Warning signs of suicide risk include suicidal thoughts, plans, substance abuse, purposelessness, anxiety, feeling trapped, and withdrawal. Key questions to ask include whether they have thoughts of suicide, specific plans or means, and reasons to live. Risk management involves immediate safety planning and ongoing treatment of underlying issues, monitoring of risk, and enhancing hope and meaning in life.

This document discusses changing the conversation around mental illness. It notes that Demi Lovato discusses her own diagnosis to remind people to seek help. It urges using respectful language when discussing mental health and not labeling people by their conditions. Stigmatizing words can discourage people from getting help. The movement aims to improve understanding and end discrimination against those with mental illnesses.
This document discusses challenging common myths and stigma around mental illness. It notes that mental illnesses can affect anyone regardless of intelligence, social class, or income. Further, it emphasizes that mental illnesses should be treated similarly to physical illnesses, as illnesses, not character flaws. The document encourages understanding mental illnesses and supporting those affected.
This document provides an overview of suicide, including definitions, epidemiology, risk factors, levels, warning signs, assessment, prevention and management. Some key points:

- Risk factors include psychiatric disorders like depression, physical illness, loss events, and lack of social support.
- Warning signs can be changes in behavior, threats or plans to self-harm, and signs of depression or hopelessness.
- Prevention focuses on reducing access to lethal means, treating mental illness, educating the public, and supporting at-risk groups.
Suicide Overview presentation and slidesRhuPastrana
This document discusses World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th and provides information about suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. It defines key suicide-related terms and outlines common myths and facts about suicide. The document also identifies individual, relationship, community, and societal risk factors for suicide and lists warning signs. Guidelines are provided for starting a conversation if someone is suspected to be suicidal and ways to listen with empathy. Protective factors against suicide and coping with grief and loss after a suicide are also addressed.
An estimated 46.6 million Americans suffer from some form of mental illness. However, mental health stigma persists and views mental illness as a sign of weakness. This stigma creates stereotypes that people with mental illnesses are unpredictable, dangerous, or contagious. In reality, these stereotypes are incorrect and harmful. The stigma also leads to discrimination that denies people with mental illness basic rights and healthcare. To reduce stigma, people need to educate themselves on mental illness in order to avoid ignorance, stereotypes, and contributing to discrimination.

The material presented in the class can be very disturbing and/or emotional for some people. When conducting this training session, it is important to create a safe space for participants and to periodically “check-in” to see how everyone is doing. If conducting the class virtually, ask the participants to give a “thumb’s up” or use an emoji to show their current mood. Let participants know that if they become overwhelmed or need to step away for a moment, that it is okay to do so.
This slide is a quick introduction of the presenter. Avoid offering a complete bio or resume, instead focus on how the presenter relates to the material being presented (personal or professional experience, community involvement, education, etc.).
To keep the design of the presentation, insert a photo of the presenter (or other photo as necessary) and enlarge to fill the entire slide. Format the photo so it sits behind all the other text on the slide (click picture format, send backward-send to the back) and change the transparency to 50% or more.
In an effort to create a safe space, it is imperative to set some ground rules for the class. Adjust the rules as necessary, or to fit the training environment. Ask participants if there are any additional ground rules they would like to have set for the class.
Let participants know that this presentation will NOT train them to be mental health providers/coaches but will provide an overview of the issue of suicide in the workplace. They will gain a better understanding of why suicide in the workplace should be a concern for organizations as well as action items and resources to help start or improve mental health and wellness programs.
What is the issue and why are we talking about it today? The following slides help paint the picture of mental wellness and suicide in America.
When it comes to mental health and wellness, a lot of what people feel is driven by external factors that add to existing stress levels or lead to feelings of depression. This is a list of common work and external factors that can contribute to people with mental health conditions. Ask the class if there are any additional factors that are not listed on the slide.
In addition to work factors, social and political issues can affect how people feel and respond to external stressors. If there is time in the presentation, use some of these issues as talking points for group discussion. How can each of these (or a select few) impact mental health and wellness. Do not expect everyone to participate in the discussion and avoid calling people out to respond. Some individuals may not feel comfortable or be in a position to express their thoughts on the subject. If there is no group interaction, be prepared to offer some personal examples or observances and move on with the presentation.
Many individuals experience stress, anxiety, anger, and depression, although these symptoms may not be professionally diagnosed. Stress and mental illnesses can manifest themselves physically and compound feelings of depression. If left unaddressed, these can all lead to thoughts of suicide and even suicide attempts. Promote the need for intervention and professional assistance as they will be discussed later in the presentation.

Now that there has been some discussion around the issue of mental wellness and suicide in the United States, let’s look at some of the risk factors and warning signs of suicide.
To understand suicide, there needs to be an understanding of the theory of suicidal behavior. People who take their life by suicide often exhibit all three of the risk factors indicated: a perceived burdensomeness, a thwarted belongingness, and an acquired capacity for suicide. It is important to clarify that all these risk factors are the REALITY for the person experiencing them. It does not matter what others think or feel, these are very real feelings for the individual experiencing them. They truly feel that they are a burden and everyone else would be better off if they were not around. They feel that they do not fit in with any social norm and are disconnected from others. They no longer have a fear of death and have access to lethal means.

This list of risk factors, although not inclusive, can provide a good overview of some of the stressors or external influences that can lead to suicidal ideation or attempted suicide.
Ask the participants if there are any additional risk factors they have observed or know of. Some individuals may not feel comfortable or be in a position to express their thoughts on the subject. If there is no group interaction, be prepared to offer some personal examples or observances and move on with the presentation.

This list of warning signs, although not inclusive, can provide a good overview of some of the stressors or external influences that can lead to suicidal ideation or attempted suicide.
Ask the participants if there are any additional warning signs they have observed or heard of. Some individuals may not feel comfortable or be in a position to express their thoughts on the subject. If there is no group interaction, be prepared to offer some personal examples or observances and move on with the presentation.
In order to break the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide in the workplace, we must be courageous enough to begin the conversation. The more we talk about these difficult subjects, the more people will feel comfortable opening up and seeking help. People need to know that they are not alone and that there are people and places where it is okay to be vulnerable.
If you observe the risk factors and warning signs discussed, it may be necessary to confront the individual directly, or direct them to someone who is more qualified to have the conversation. Show care and compassion, DO NOT judge. This is not the time to be afraid of conflict or possible HR issues. It is perfectly acceptable to ask someone how they are feeling and show empathy. Be prepared to have a difficult conversation and actively listen. If you are not in a good place mentally yourself, you should redirect the person to someone else. It is important for you to show the person that they are not alone, they are important, and you are willing to give help as you are able.
Anyone can have a conversation. You do not need to be a trained professional, remember that you are NOT diagnosing anything, you are simply offering care and compassion. It is important for people to know where to go and what to do in the event they suspect someone may be having suicidal thoughts. Equip and empower your employees with the resources and knowledge to speak up and identify resources and people that can help.
The following are some action items participants can take back to their organization to create or improve their mental health and wellness programs.
End the program with a quick check-in to see how the participants are doing. This presentation was full of tough conversations and material. Some people may be feeling overwhelmed and may need some additional time to digest the information. Offer to stick around for a bit to discuss any issues or concerns.
