Indigenous suicide prevention information
FORMAT: UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURAL LINK TO HEALING
Suicide is an issue that many people find difficult to understand and uncomfortable to talk about. Unfortunately, this leaves people with insufficient or incorrect information about the issue. Education and public awareness can help reduce myths and the stigma often attached to suicide behaviour. This awareness presentation gives participants a chance to ask questions in a comfortable and supportive environment.
Suicide has been evident in many communities across Canada. This workshop will provide an Indigenous suicide preventive model in the communities that will enhance first response teams in dealing with suicide. Some of the topics that will be addressed are:
THINGS I WILL LEARN ABOUT
Definition of suicide
Who is at risk?
Magnitude of the problem in Canada
Why do people commit suicide?
What are the danger signs?
How to recognize the warning signs of suicide behaviour
Steps to help to prevent a suicide attempt
What to do following a suicide attempt
What can you do if you are feeling suicidal?
Dealing with thinking patterns leading to suicide
How you can help?

INDIGENOUS SUICIDE PREVENTION
UNFORTUNATE REALITY
UNFORTUNATE REALITY
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY PEOPLE THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERINGS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
DRUGS, VIOLENCE, ABUSE, INCEST, GANGS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, BEING EXPLOITED, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE, LATERAL VIOLENCE AND BULLYING: THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE FOUNDATIONAL REASONS THAT AN INDIVIDUAL CHOOSES SUICIDE.
