  1. Communication
    Make sure it is two way.
    Live in their world, don’t just ask them to live in yours.
    Ask questions that begin with “what,” “how,” and “why.”
  2. Modeling
    Make sure and explain why you are doing what you do especially with alcohol and transportation. Left to their own interpretation, teens might connect the dots in a much different way than you intended. For example, you hand your teen the keys to drive you home after a couple of drinks. You think you are modeling that you don’t drink and drive. The teen might interpret this as you drink to the point you can’t drive. You can control the story by sharing your “why.”
  3. Monitoring
    Be creative in the ways you check-in with your kids, their friends and other parents. You are also teaching good parenting and remember…”when you parent, you are parenting your grandchildren.”
  4. Parental Rules
    Rules backed by health science, not just coming from our personal value system. Teens might still use alcohol but Dr. Turrisi’s research shows that setting the rule and communicating your why, reduces risk, frequency and amount consumed.
  5. Environment
    Setting-up an environment in your home that is welcoming to other kids, accepting of differences, conducive to communication, connection, modeling and monitoring. If we are lucky will lead to some acceptance and buy-in of parental rules.

Suicide & Veterans, an Update

11/11/2020

VA launches program to send caring letters to 90,000 Veterans
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced today its Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) formally launched the Caring Letters Program, an evidence-based suicide prevention intervention that involves sending periodic messages with simple expressions of care and concern to Veterans who use VA health care and contact the VCL.

The DoD released the Annual Suicide Report 2019
The Department of Defense (DoD) Quarterly Suicide Report (QSR) summarizes suicide counts and annual rates for the Active Component, Reserves, and National Guard. The purpose of the QSR is to communicate DoD suicide data to stakeholders external to DoD on a routine and frequent basis.

Suicide mortality data in these reports are provided by the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) with inputs from the Service suicide prevention programs. Population data are collected from the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).

Veteran Suicide Prevention
If you’re a Veteran in a mental health crisis and you’re thinking about hurting yourself—or you know a Veteran who’s considering this—get help right away. You’re not alone.

Resource Highlight: Rocky Mountain MIRECC for Veteran Suicide Prevention
To generate new knowledge about the causes and treatments of mental disorders, apply new findings to model clinical programs, and widely disseminate new findings through education to improve the quality of veterans’ lives and their daily functioning in their recovering from mental illness.

World Mental Health Day

10/10/2020

 
This year’s World Mental Health Day, on October 10th, comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The past months have brought many challenges: for health-care workers, providing care in difficult circumstances, going to work fearful of bringing COVID-19 home with them; for students, adapting to taking classes from home, with little contact with teachers and friends, and anxious about their futures; for workers whose livelihoods are threatened; for the vast number of people caught in poverty or in fragile humanitarian settings with extremely limited protection from COVID-19; and for people with mental health conditions, many experiencing even greater social isolation than before. And this is to say nothing of managing the grief of losing a loved one, sometimes without being able to say goodbye.
The economic consequences of the pandemic are already being felt, as companies let staff go in an effort to save their businesses, or indeed shut down completely.
Given past experience of emergencies, it is expected that the need for mental health and psychosocial support will substantially increase in the coming months and years. Investment in mental health programs at the national and international levels, which have already suffered from years of chronic underfunding, is now more important than it has ever been.
This is why the goal of this year’s World Mental Health Day campaign is increased investment in mental health. 
World Health Organization
Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.

988 is Headed for the President's Desk

Thank Your Members of Congress and Encourage More Action on Suicide Prevention!

On Monday, September 21, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act (S.2661). This legislation will support the implementation of the three-digit "9-8-8" dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline through funding guidance, federal reporting, and specialized services for at-risk communities like LGBTQ-youth and veterans.
 
After unanimous passage by the U.S. Senate in May and unanimous passage by the U.S. House this week, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act will soon be signed into law!

Click here to thank your legislator: Public Policy Action Center - AFSP

Great news! My #NationalSuicideHotlineDesignationAct has passed the House & is on its way to @POTUS desk. Those in a mental health crisis will now have the extra support that they need. 9-8-8 will save lives & give us additional tools to help reverse the tragic trend of suicide. pic.twitter.com/5ExUQDWJ2p

988 - Save the Date

7/16/2020

 
Picture
Picture

July 16, 2022

Months ago, the FCC unanimously approved 988 as new three-digit suicide prevention hotline. ​Today, an announcement was made that the process to implement the number will take two years, as telecom and voice service companies will be mandated to have a 988 hotline by July 16, 2022.

Per FCC chairman Ajit Pai, the nation’s suicide rates are at its highest point since World War II. Suicide also disproportionately affects marginalized groups — namely Black Americans, Native Americans, Americans in rural areas, teens and young adults and LGBTQ people.
​
The current number to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-TALK (8255), which received 2.2 million calls in 2018.
