Psychiatric nursing students at University of KwaZulu-Natal looking for support

Kenneth Hemmerick — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:12:00 +0000

Three psychiatric nursing students from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, concerned about the increasing rate of suicide in their communities, are planning a suicide prevention program for teenagers between the ages of 13-19 years. They are looking for donations that will enable them to provide participants with refreshments during workshops and other programs.

Download a copy of the project proposal, called "Suicide: Understanding your own feelings," in PDF format, or email Geanna at 204504502 [at] ukzn.ac.za if you can help in any way.

Suicide Prevention Videos

Kenneth Hemmerick — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 16:47:00 +0000

Browsing YouTube for suicide prevention resources, I came upon a suicide prevention video, produced by Springfield Middle School.

This video offers hope for young people who are thinking about suicide. I found it to be most moving and I have included it in the Suicide Prevention Help Global Web Directory under the Teens and Young Adults category.

Other excellent videos that have been included in the directory are:

Kevin Hines Quest video Suicide Prevention, The
Watch this video, published on YouTube, and produced by someone who suffers from Bipolar Disorder.
Category: Bipolar Disorder

I am impressed by the level of courage and honesty shown by the producers of these videos. By the same token, I found that some of the videos, posted on YouTube about suicide, range from a lack of taste to simply disgusting.

The impact of suicide on survivors is devastating and profound, and I cannot see anything funny this topic. Suicide should not be sensationalized but should be considered with the compassion and empathy that it rightfully deserves, for the sake of suicide survivors and suicide-attempt survivors.

INTERNATIONAL (WORLD) SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY

The International Association for Suicide Prevention holds, in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO), a World Suicide Prevention Day. Throughout the world, conferences, walks, lectures, fund-raisers and consciousness-raising and other awareness events are being held not only on September 10, 2006 but throughout the month of September.

The WHO reports that:

In the year 2000, approximately one million people died from suicide: a "global" mortality rate of 16 per 100,000, or one death every 40 seconds.

In the last 45 years suicide rates have increased by 60% worldwide. Suicide is now among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15-44 years (both sexes); these figures do not include suicide attempts up to 20 times more frequent than completed suicide.

Suicide worldwide is estimated to represent 1.8% of the total global burden of disease in 1998, and 2.4% in countries with market and former socialist economies in 2020.

Although traditionally suicide rates have been highest among the male elderly, rates among young people have been increasing to such an extent that they are now the group at highest risk in a third of countries, in both developed and developing countries.

Mental disorders (particularly depression and substance abuse) are associated with more than 90% of all cases of suicide; however, suicide results from many complex sociocultural factors and is more likely to occur particularly during periods of socioeconomic, family and individual crisis situations (e.g. loss of a loved one, employment, honour).

Browse this directory to see suicide statistics, listed by country.

What can one do to help?

Take any threat of suicide seriously.
Find support resources in helping someone who is suicidal.
Offer gentle, caring support to a person contemplating suicide and remember to follow up. Sometimes despairing feeling abate when talking with a loved one, but re-appear after the caring friend or family member is away.
Encourage the loved one to call a crisis center.
Show your loved one The Friendship Letter.
Support local crisis, distress or suicide prevention centers through volunteering or making a donation. These groups usually run on a shoe-string budget.
Encourage local, state or provincial, and national governments to take initiative in developing a suicide prevention strategy.
