TW: World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD)

The September the 10th is WSPD. Therefore we would like to share a meme that also gives attention to famous Asians that are no more. Because: do we know what depression looks like?

A reminder of the importance of checking in with our fellow Asians, especially in places or countries where Asians are a vulnerable minority.

Can you all recognize these people? Please post in the comments! 🙏🏼

This is one of my favorite movies. Wish I could see the play. It's so realistic and heart-wrenching, about how we are twisted by those who raise us and who we grow up with. The paradox of how much relationships with others can contribute to a desire to permanently leave while at the same time how they have no influence or power over a decision to die. So beautiful and well-done. The end is a triumph and a tragedy.

If you're feeling like Jessie and want to step off the bus, know that you're not alone even if it doesn't feel that way right now. Or, if you know someone like her then reach out and check in with them—a simple "Are you ok?" could go a long way.

Westside File 004: "ARMED & DANGEROUS"

I used to work for the man I’m now investigating.

That’s not irony. That’s a setup.

Lead reporter for O News—just another pretty face in the O Corp Network machine. Until I dug too deep.

Turns out O Corp isn’t just a network. It’s a monopoly with no ceiling. No leash. No conscience.

I pitched it as the day’s headline. They told me to report to the top floor. I didn’t go.

I walked out the front door instead. With the story. And a target on my back.

That night, a black sedan parked across the street.

Didn’t move for hours.

Next morning, two WSPD officers showed up at my door.

No warrant. No smiles.

Just questions about my “well-being.”

One of them stared too long at my bookshelf.

The other asked if I had family still living in The Westside.

I told them to get off my porch before I gave them a reason.

They didn’t laugh.

I haven’t slept since.

My uncle, Ronnie Miller, died the day of the City Hall attack.

Except officially… he didn’t.

No body. No report. No funeral.

I found the footage.

Ramel Jenkins—fire in his hands, no hesitation.

My uncle, tied to a chair in a basement O Corp won’t admit exists.

I watched him burn.

Watched him scream through the gag.

They called it containment.

I call it execution.

Maybe I’m paranoid. Maybe they’re not watching me.

Maybe that sedan was just a sedan.

But the knocking last night said otherwise.

If you’re reading this, I’ve either gone dark or burned out.

Same difference in The Westside.

They’ll say I was unstable.

They’ll say I pushed too far.

But the truth? I got too close.

To the fire. To the files. To the men who kill in clean suits.

They know I’m armed with the truth.

And they know the truth is dangerous.

Sadag | Discussion | Mental Health World suicide prevention day on Tuesday. (2024). ENCA. https://www.enca.com/news/sadag-discussion-mental-health-world-suicide-prevention-day-tuesday

World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) is an International Day of Awareness, observed on 10 September. It is aimed at raising awareness about suicide and promoting actions to prevent it. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) plays a significant role in these discussions, highlighting the importance of mental health resources and support systems.

In the article, the discussion led by the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) focused on raising awareness about mental health issues, emphasizing the importance of suicide prevention, and discussing available resources and support systems.

The discussion highlighted the need to increase public awareness about mental health issues and suicide prevention. Educating people about the signs of mental health problems and how to seek help is important in reducing stigma and preventing suicide. Awareness campaigns can educate the public about mental health, reduce stigma, and encourage individuals to seek help. However, the success of these campaigns depends on their ability to engage effectively with audiences and present information in a way that relates to different cultural and socio-economic groups.

While awareness is the basis, it needs to come with practical solutions. Educational campaigns should be supported by practical measures, such as mental health services and support systems. This is to ensure that individuals can access help when needed. This can be seen in the patients that I have come across during fieldwork. Patients know of mental illness and what to do to combat it, however, there is no action to match their words.

The discussion also looked at the availability and effectiveness of support systems such as hotlines, counselling services, and mental health programs. It is important to evaluate whether these resources are adequately funded, accessible, and inclusive. Challenges such as limited reach in rural communities could be significant barriers. This is seen in the community settings that we have visited. The areas are not well-developed to deal with counselling services that are funded, accessible and inclusive. This creates a disadvantage for the service users based there, due to lack of accessibility.

Strengthening support systems involves not only increasing funding but also ensuring that these funds are used effectively in larger healthcare services. Efforts should focus on making mental health services more accessible, particularly in underprivileged communities where mental health issues might be untreated. While in the hospital, many clients have gone untreated due to lack of services and are only treated when their case becomes a social case.

Effective policy plays an important role in suicide prevention. The discussion looked at current policies, the implementation, and areas needing improvement. Government support is necessary for creating policy that promotes mental health. Policy changes should be led by feedback from mental healthcare practitioners and those with lived experience.

Stigma surrounding mental health is an important reality. Stigma can prevent individuals from seeking help. The discussion explored strategies to overcome stigma, including public education. Engaging with communities, sharing personal stories, and promoting positive representations of mental health can help in changing attitudes and encouraging open conversations. This has been observed within clients, who have expressed isolation and being shunned by family and community members due to stigma and unawareness of mental health conditions.

SADAG’s discussion on World Suicide Prevention Day highlights the importance of mental health support and suicide prevention. While raising awareness is an important step, it must be part of a broader strategy that includes strong support systems, effective policies and ongoing efforts to address stigma. Ensuring that mental health resources are accessible, adequately funded, and culturally sensitive is necessary to make a meaningful impact. As occupational therapists, we have a duty to contribute to these conversations, to ensure that service users live a meaningful life.

‌Highlighting the importance of speaking about mental health.

Just because they smile at you doesn’t mean they are ok. I am 35 and I’ve lost 5 people in this way in my short life. I don’t want it to keep happening. #suicideawarenessday #bekind #wspd
