Summary:

In this DVD we combined two shorter talks about Understanding and Preventing Suicide and Teen Suicide Prevention.

Understanding and Preventing Suicide


Suicide is a serious public health problem. It is the 11th leading cause of death across the lifespan claiming the lives of more than 32,000 US citizens each year; nearly 90 people a day. Every two hours and eleven minutes someone under 25 completes suicide. Each suicide affects an untold number of family members, friends and acquaintances. Prevention specialists agree suicide can be prevented and its impact reduced in much the same way that deaths due to drunk driving, HIV/AIDS, and drug abuse have been reduced. Imagine how the lives of people would change if even 20% of suicide deaths were prevented. Every life is important and making a difference can be easy as understanding the issues related to suicide and learning warning signs and prevention strategies that can save lives.

Teen Suicide Prevention


Teen Suicide Prevention: Act Now will focus on signs, symptoms and the treatment of depression in youth. Reducing stigma and how to ACT (acknowledge, care and tell) is an integral part of her program.

Elizabeth Makulec and Rebecca Musgrave

Summary:

Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a rare (incidence 1:10,000), fatal, inherited neurodegenerative/neuropsychiatric disorder for which there is no known treatment or cure. It is characterized by abnormalities in movement, cognition, and psychiatric disturbances. In the absence of a cure, competent symptomatic treatment and psychosocial support is vital. HD is a family disease, both because of the autosomal dominant inheritance, but also because of the impact of the disease on the family system. Understanding of HD by professionals will aid in providing the best treatment available to optimize care and support for these families.

Program Presenter:

Stacy Barton is a Center social worker with the Huntington’s Disease Society of America Center for Excellence which provides services for people with HD and their families, provides community out reach, and supports clinical research.

Summary:

Many children suffer from recurrent or chronic pain that is not due to a medical problem. This type of pain is referred to as functional pain. The most common types of functional pain reported by children are recurrent stomachaches and headaches. The cost of functional pain is considerable. Children with functional pain make frequent doctor visits and are often referred to tertiary care facilities. In addition, several hundred thousand school days are lost each month as a result of functional pain and school absences can negatively impact a child’s academic and social development. A number of psychological interventions have been found to be highly effective in decreasing the frequency, duration, and intensity of pain episodes. Nevertheless, it can be difficult for families to access effective treatment.

Program Presenter:

Sarah Hanly, PhDreceived her first Doctorate in Molecular Biology from Rockefeller University in New York. She went on to do a post-doctoral fellowship at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the Duke University Medical School in Durham, North Carolina. She earned her Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Summary:

Individuals with mental illness die an average of 25 years younger than the general population. Often these early deaths are attributable to medical factors such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. These other medical factors can be prevented and/or managed with the implementation of good nutritional habits and proper exercise.
In this training, Ms. Kincade takes us through the experiences of the Independence Center in St. Louis which set up a Wellness Program for its members. She discusses the challenges faced in various settings–the mental health center, the home and the community–while trying to help people develop good habits, and several practical tips and solutions.

Program Presenter:

Jenia Kincade ,is a Wellness Specialist at the Independence Center in St. Louis, Missouri. She has a strong academic background in health promotion combined with over 5 years work experience in different health related fields. She currently provides customized fitness programs to members of the Independence Center that include education and guidance on proper nutrition, cardiovascular exercise, stress reduction and resistance training. Her focus right now is not only collecting data to assess the needs and interests of these members but more importantly working with other staff to help ensure a supportive environment within the clubhouse that makes it easier for members to make healthy lifestyle choices at home and in their community.
