MindSet 2022 Suicide: Part Four/Final Episode in the Series
Manage episode 332746789 series 3365917
Welcome to MindSet 2022. I’m your host, Tom McNulty. Thank you for joining us for Part Four – the final episode of our four-part series on Suicide. As you know by now, I have focused on individuals between the age of 10-34 because suicide is their second leading cause of death. To emphasize the importance of this topic, I have repeatedly stated that, on average, 130 people commit suicide every day in the United States – a number that is hard to fathom.
In this broadcast, I’m going to share critical information for you to process and think about especially if you know someone you believe might be vulnerable. The whole point of this series is to help you be better prepared and aware of common warning signs, unique circumstances, as well as how daily or episodic stressors or a spate of events can deflate a person’s innate survival instincts and turn a preventable tragedy into a caring and therapeutic life-saving redirection of one’s thoughts and actions. Think of this series as building a toolbox of skills you will remember and know how to use should you become aware of someone who needs help. This broadcast will focus on those between the ages of 18-34 and all that comes with entering adulthood. I will also address how to help someone begin to get professional assessments and care. Thank you for tuning in to this Series. Please share this with someone you know who could benefit from our critical information. You can speak to someone at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255. Thank you.
Tom McNulty, M.S.
