Extractions: May 1990 HIGH SCHOOL SUICIDE CRISIS INTERVENTION By David Fisher, M.A. Deputy Pinnellas County, Florida, Sheriff's Office Teen suicidea tragic realityis a rising national phenomenon and the second leading cause of death among teenagers. (1) No school system or police department is immune from its psychological devastation. After two students at Dixie Hollins High School in Pinellas County, Florida, committed suicide, the number of reported suicide threats rose. To meet this crisis, the school's administration established a suicide crisis intervention team. The team is composed of two assistant principals, two guidance counselors, and the school's resource officer (SRO), each of whom have counseling experience and graduate degrees. ROLE OF THE SRO Most districts within the State of Florida have full-time school resource officers assigned to specific schools. In addition to law enforcement duties, SROs counsel students, teach classes, and act as resources for the school. Also, they receive training in crisis intervention and are the only persons on school campuses with the authority to initiate and transport a student for involuntary psychiatric evaluation. The key to the effectiveness of SROs is gaining acceptance and credibility among both the students and faculty. This can be done in a number of ways. For example, SROs can speak to students informally to show interest in them, or may discuss the suicide prevention team with faculty members. Also, through active involvement in such school activities as sports events and musical programs, they can change the image of SROs from ``enforcer'' to friend. Presentations by the SROs on stress awareness and management to students and the faculty can also help remove the stigma for someone seeking personal help or referring a friend. STUDENTS AT RISK Suicide crisis intervention team members are trained to identify those students who may be considering suicide. They also instruct teachers about the warning signs of suicide, because teachers have the most direct contact with students and are the most likely to recognize these signs first. Warning signs can appear in written assignments turned in by students or in behavioral clues that may express ideas of self-destruction or depression. Teachers are cautioned to be particularly attentive to warning signs during the peak stress times for adolescents, such as grading periods, homecoming, and prom and graduation weekends. COUNSELING Upon referral, each student in crisis is seen by a team member as soon as possible. Anyone seeking help is assured of confidentiality up front; however, the counselor will advise the student that it may become necessary to subsequently notify mental health professionals to ensure personal safety. Communication is never discouraged during counseling sessions. Team members allow the student to express thoughts and beliefs freely. In many cases, just having an adult show concern and pay attention to what is being said is all that the student needs to ease the crisis. Usually only one team member counsels a student, but the other team members are later informed of the session. However, when dealing with an active suicidal threat, it is important to have several team members involved. In such cases, the potential victim is kept calm and is never left alone for any reason until additional help is obtained, and the team member having the best rapport with the student acts as the primary counselor. EVALUATION Understanding teen suicidal behavior aids the evaluation process. Many times, there is no real intent by the teen to commit suicide, rather the actions are simply a ``serious cry'' for help. However, talk of suicide should not be dismissed or taken lightly. There is always the danger that teens making suicide threats may actually miscalculate and accidently complete the act or cause serious bodily injury. Oftentimes, in suicidal pacts, teens may be talked into carrying out suicidal threats by other students and may feel the need to attempt suicide to ``save face.'' With transient or situational depression, a young person may have suffered a loss of a significant relationship, social status or self-worth or may be reacting to unidentified stressors. Although such situations may not appear unsurmountable to adults, the perceived trauma levels may well be exceptionally high to teens who lack the experience and coping skills to effectively deal with the stress. Teens who are organically or chemically imbalanced are rarely identified, difficult to work with, and can only be diagnosed by a highly skilled physician. In such cases, when suicide is suspected, the only appropriate action is to advise parents to seek medical attention for their teen immediately. The main operating principle of the suicide crisis intervention team is to LISTEN, EVALUATE, AND GET HELP. The evaluation is not intended to be clinical in nature, but to assist in determining appropriate help options. SUICIDE ATTEMPTS During an attempted suicide at school or a barricaded situation that may result in suicide, the SRO is the one who takes the necessary steps to ensure safety. This includes trying to locate and secure weapons and drugs from the student, trying to coax the student into a secure area, such as an office, and removing onlookers as quickly as possible from the scene. School administrators or backup officers may assist as needed. If a firearm is involved, the SRO does not approach the student directly, but maintains cover while communicating with the potential victim. Because of the possibility of a hostage situation, school personnel are instructed not to get involved. The SRO handles the situation alone until the weapon is secured. As soon as possible, the SRO begins communicating with the individual by asking the student's name. All conversation is conducted in a calm, casual manner, during which the SRO expresses concern for the student's well-being and indicates a willingness to help. Once the student is identified, pertinent background data are obtained from school records and family members are notified, even though they are kept from the scene and are not allowed to converse with the student. Of course, in the case of serious injury or drug overdose, getting medical assistance is the overriding consideration. The SRO takes custody of the individual by any means necessary and as soon as possible, while ensuring officer safety, and arranges for medical transport. The SRO should be aware of local medical facilities that accept psychiatric patients. FOLLOWUP CARE Followup care could possibly be the most important part of suicide crisis intervention. Even though the crisis may appear to be over, and the individual appears to be recovering, there is the chance the teen is simply regaining energy to complete the suicide. Visits by a team member to the student in treatment keeps the student from feeling forgotten, isolated, or betrayed. Once the student returns to school, there is a critical phase of readjustment, and periodic visits with a team member are encouraged. The student still needs to know that someone cares and that help is available by only asking for it. Helping the student develop and maintain positive involvement in school and community activities is also essential during followup care. Programs involving other students have been successfully used, and working with organizations having service-oriented goals gives teens a sense of purpose and directs their energy and focus outward. CONCLUSION Members of the suicide crisis intervention team are not certified mental health professionals. However, they are capable of evaluating the needs of a troubled student and getting the proper help in a timely manner. By using such strategies as quick response intervention, building positive relationships with students, learning basic alert and assessment techniques, and being aware of available resources, the suicide crisis intervention team has been able to help students. Since the inception of the team program in 1987, there have been no completed or life-threatening suicide attempts among the Dixie Hollins High School student population. FOOTNOTE (1) Richard H.

Extractions: From: mikemldvn@aol.com ( MikeMldvn ) Subject: Military-Civilian Teamwork in Suicide Prevention Date: 10 Mar 1995 17:17:24 -0500 On April 26, 1993 I wrote to then Secretary of Defense (SecDef) Les Aspin and suggested the need for Department of Defense (DoD) guidance to the services to enhance collaboration between military bases' and adjacent civilian communities' resources in crisis intervention and suicide prevention as it pertained to the active and retired military and their families. The essence of my remarks were as follows: Normally, a military person with an intolerable personal problem tries to get relief from within the system of which he or she is part, e.g., a buddy, family support services, chain-of-command, personnel staff, the IG, etc.. Many personal problems are not job related, but because of the victim's inability to cope, spill over and affect "job." When the person is in a suicidal crisis, realizes that help is urgently needed, and wants such help, he or she will not hesitate to contact whomever can provide it, if not from within the system then from outside. Unless military policy has changed in this regard, a suicidal military person, or a suicidal member of his or her family, who seeks help from within the system, believes that a record of the contact will be made. The "record" is perceived as transforming into stigma and a potential threat to present job and future career. "Records," more often than not, motivate the person in crisis to look elsewhere for help. Elsewhere includes the adjacent civilian community's crisis intervention resources, specifically, the suicide prevention telephone hotline where the caller need not provide identification they're as safe there from being identified as anywhere they can be in their circumstances. The hotline worker does what can be accomplished quickly to keep the caller from slipping deeper into crisis and impulsively acting out a suicide threat. They listen, offer nonjudgemental feedback, and

Extractions: Suicide Related Topics: Emergency/Crisis Assistance Counseling: Individual, Group and Family Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youth in Maryland. Persons who may be isolated, depressed, and/or unhappy about their lives may be at risk for suicide. These feelings may make it difficult to see all of the options available. For that reason, it is important to seek professional help for someone who is talking about suicide. It does not mean the person is mentally ill. To help: If you see danger signs in someone you know, let that person know you are concerned. Be a good listener, encourage talking about feelings, be supportive, accept what is said and treat it seriously. Let the person know that you care, that you want to help, that there are alternatives to dying, and that he or she does not have to face the problems alone. Take all the danger signs seriously. If the person is thinking of suicide, ask "How would you do that?" When? Where? Do you have the pills, gun? The more detailed and firm the plan, the greater the danger - trust your judgment - if you think the risk is there, there's a good chance you are right. Someone at risk for suicide should not be left alone, and potential weapons (pills, guns, etc.) should never be accessible to someone who is depressed and troubled - remove them from the home.

Extractions: Professor Dr. Isik Sayil, IASP National Representative for Turkey Turkey is a rapidly developing country, extending from Asia to Europe. Due to population explosion, high rate of internal migration and contact with the western world, our socio-cultural system, traditional customs and ways of belief, attitude and behavior began to shake. In addition, last economic crisis forced people to undergo great difficulties and tension while they were trying to survive and adjust their way of life. Ankara, the city where I work, is the capital of Turkey and such difficulties and problems as indicated above take place frequently. Suicide problem in Türkiye can be discussed on the basis of state institute of statistics data which has been collected since 1962. Suicidal behavior is a growing problem especially in the big cities in our country. Our work in prevention activities consisted of three steps. The first step consists of stimulation and education of society, education of professionals and administrators on the suicidal behaviour were especially chosen. As a second step the studies that had been done about suicides in the country has been collected. From 1900 till 2000, a period of 100 years was evaluated and a bibliographic book was prepared about the published material on suicide - we published Suicide Bibliographies in 1990 as well as in 1995 and also in 2000, which made it easier to reach Turkish papers published in this field.

Extractions: Dept of Social Work Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO17 1BJ. Abstract: Both clinical and epidemiological literature point to elevated rates of suicidal behaviours in Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Youth (GLBY). Recent North American and New Zealand studies of large populations (especially the US Youth Risk Behavior Surveys from several States) indicate that gay, lesbian and bisexual adolescents (and males in particular) can have rates of serious suicide attempts which are least four times those in apparently heterosexual youth. There are various reasons why this figure is likely to be an underestimate. Reasons for these elevated rates of suicidal behaviour include a climate of homophobic persecution in schools, and sometimes in family and community - values and actions which stigmatise homosexuality and which the youth who has not yet come out has to endure in silence. The youth who feels that he or she is Gay or Lesbian must either pretend to go along with current views; or they must face the risk of coming out to family and peers. Either course is perilous, and one sequel may be suicidal behaviour (Savin-Williams, 1994; Hershberger, et al., 1997).
