WANGARI MAATHAI
“There comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other”. WANGARI MAATHAI 5/1/2021 "I dwell in possibility." Emily Dickinson
Some facts about suicide:
All talk of suicide must be taken seriously. Most people do n`t want to die; they just want to end the pain. We need to ask openly and directly about suicide if we are worried about someone. Anyone can have thoughts of suicide at some time or another. People who have made a previous attempt are at greater risk & need help and support. The period of greatest risk may be when the `decision` is made or when depression lifts. If you ,or someone you know are having thoughts of suicide call Lifeline 0808 808 8000
Asking the Suicide question
By now most people accept that the only way to know for sure if a person is suicidal or not is to ask them clearly and directly. It is often helpful, for both people, if the questioner includes some context, some justification for asking. The questioner can include the things he/she has seen, heard, sensed, or learned about e.g. "Joe I` ve noticed you ve lost interest in your appearance, I ve heard you say there`s no point in anything, I ve sensed you`re struggling with even simple things and I know Louise says it`s over for good this time" With all this I`m wondering.... are you thinking about suicide?"
You need to ASK
a short exchange between two friends that illustrates why and how the question about suicide needs to be asked and how clearly & directly it needs to be asked. Password: HOPE https://vimeo.com/305940992
Suicide Down to Zero toolkit
The toolkit is a framework for developing suicide prevention capacity within an agency or organisation. The toolkit elements are:- 1.leadership; 2.mental health &wellbeing promotion; 3.suicide awareness & prevention; 4.training; 5.suicide intervention & ongoing community support; 6.postvention and 7.evaluation. If an agency fully commits to all 7 elements, we believe that they have effectively created a suicide down to zero environment. Annual Reports
Art of Conversation
The Art of Conversation is the 2nd edition of this booklet which colleagues in Scotland permitted us to adapt for use in Northern Ireland. We in Suicide Down to Zero believe that it provides quite a comprehensive suicide awareness resource. You will see that it contains: - some general facts about suicide and some facts specific to Northern Ireland; common signs that someone is suicidal and how they can be helped; being ALERT & helping; being a good listener & the 5 steps to active listening; details of suicide prevention training and some useful contacts/resources.
