8 The reality of youth suicide The reality of youth suicide At-Risk Population LGB Youth In 2009, Illinois YRBS data found when lesbian, gay and bisexual youth are compared to their non-gay peers they are more than three times more likely to report considering suicide in the past 12 months and to have made a suicide plan in the past 12 months. Additionally, they were almost five times more likely to have attempted suicide in the past 12 months.
9 RISK FACTORS
10 Risk Factors Several factors can put a young person at risk for suicide. However, having these risk factors does not always mean that suicide will occur. The most significant ones are: Prior suicide attempt(s) Substance abuse Mood disorders Access to lethal means
11 Risk Factors Risk Factors Other risk factors include the following circumstances and problems: Recent death of a friend, especially if by suicide Recent death of or separation from a family member Engaging in self-harm Problems in school (academic and/or discipline) Relationship problems or breakups Bullying or other forms of violence Discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender nonconformity Family problems or abuse, current or in the past Legal issues Serious illness or injury Other stressful events
12 WARNING SIGNS
13 Warning Signs Warning signs The risk of suicide is greater if a behavior is new or has increased and if it seems related to a painful event, loss, or change. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these signs, seek help as soon as possible by calling the Lifeline at TALK (8255). Talking about wanting to die or to kill themselves. Looking for a way to kill themselves, such as searching online or buying a gun Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live. Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain. Talking about being a burden to others.
14 Warning Signs (cont.) Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs. Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly. Sleeping too little or too much. Withdrawing or isolating themselves. Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge. Displaying extreme mood swings. Warning signs
15 Warning Signs for Youth Warning Signs for Youth Youth Suicide Warning Signs (Expert consensus meeting hosted by AAS/NCPYS and SAMHSA) Suicide may be imminent Particularly if behavior is new or increased and related to anticipated or actual painful event, loss or change Talking about or making plans for suicide Expressing hopelessness about the future Displaying severe emotional distress, sadness, or pain Showing worrisome behavioral clues or marked changes in behavior, specifically: Significant withdrawal from social connections/situations Increased agitation or irritability Anger or hostility that seems out of character or out of context Changes in sleep (increased or decreased) Information shared by Dr. Gutierrez at the 2014 IL Suicide Prevention conference based on the collaboration between American Association of Suicidology/National Center for the Prevention of Youth Suicide and the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
16 PROTECTIVE FACTORS
17 Protective Factors Protective Factors Protective factors are not just the opposite or lack of risk factors. Rather, they are conditions that promote strength and resilience and ensure that vulnerable individuals are supported and connected with others during difficult times, thereby making suicidal behaviors less likely. Effective clinical care for mental, physical and substance use disorders Easy access to a variety of clinical interventions and support for helpseeking Restricted access to highly lethal means of suicide Strong connections to family and community support Support through ongoing medical and mental health care relationships Skills in problem solving, conflict resolution and nonviolent handling of disputes Cultural and religious beliefs that discourage suicide and support self preservation However, positive resistance to suicide is not permanent, so programs that support and maintain protection against suicide should be ongoing.
18 Connectedness Connectedness as a Protective as a Factor The degree to which a person or group is socially close, interrelated, or shares resources with other persons or groups. Connectedness occurs within and between multiple levels of the social ecology that is between individuals, families, schools and other organizations, neighborhoods, cultural groups, and society as a whole Connectedness between individuals Connectedness of individuals and their families to community organizations Connectedness among community organizations and social institutions However, positive resistance to suicide is not permanent, so programs that support and maintain protection against suicide should be ongoing.
19 Suicide is a public health problem. Complex problem associated with multiple factors: Individual (biological, psychological) Environmental (physical, interpersonal, community, societal) Requires a community-wide effort, across disciplines
20 SCHOOL S ROLE
21 Why Address Suicide? Four reasons why schools should address suicide 1. Maintaining a safe school environment is part of a school s overall mission. 2. Student s mental health can affect their academic performance. 3. A student suicide can significantly impact other students and the entire school community. 4. Schools have been sued for negligence (e.g., failure to notify parents, get assistance, adequately supervise)
22 Comprehensive School Suicide Prevention Program School wide programs that promote connectedness and emotional well-being Policies and procedures for helping students at risk and in crisis Protocols for responding to suicide death Postvention Staff education and training Parent/guardian education and outreach Student programs Curricula for all students Skill-building for students at risk Peer leader programs Screening for at-risk students
23 School Code School code requirement School Code Requirement School guidance counselors, teachers, school social workers and other school personnel who work with students in grades 7th through 12th are required to receive training to identify the warning signs of mental illness and suicidal behavior in adolescents and teens and shall be taught appropriate intervention and referral techniques. (P.A ) Participating in or presenting at in-service training programs on suicide prevention is among the list of possible professional development activities for teacher re-licensure.
