Mind Frame: Suicide Prevention
The "Mind Frame: Suicide Prevention" video explores vital concepts for understanding and preventing suicide among school-aged youth. Hosted by Griffin, the video addresses the rising suicide rates reported by the CDC, particularly among individuals aged 10 to 14. Guest social worker De'Asia Thompson discusses how mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, compounded by substance abuse and isolation from events like COVID-19, play significant roles. Dr. Max Tokarsky emphasizes the importance of recognizing signs like mood swings and withdrawal and encourages seeking professional help. Highlighting the critical role of peer support, Reese Hornick shares insights from her experience in Hope Squad, a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program. The video equips viewers with actionable steps like using the QPR method--Question, Persuade, Refer--to assist peers contemplating suicide, affirming the message 'if you see something, say something' to foster a supportive community environment.
