We take every loss by suicide to heart and you matter, your kids matter, and anything we can do to help stem the deaths by suicide will really make a huge impact and maybe help keep our hearts from breaking a little bit more every day when we hear of the losses.
Imagine a simple act that could save a life. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos dives into the critical topic of gun safety and its role in preventing suicides. Joined by Carly Kump, a community health specialist, and Christy Jones, a senior consultant for mental well-being at Intermountain Healthcare, Maria unpacks the stark realities and urgent need for action in this area.
You'll hear eye-opening statistics on the prevalence of suicide among men and women and learn why firearms are particularly lethal. The conversation doesn't stop there; it extends to practical steps you can take, like locking up your firearms, which might just provide the crucial time needed for someone's suicidal thoughts to pass. The episode also highlights Intermountain Healthcare's CALM program, designed to equip healthcare providers with the skills to discuss reducing access to lethal means with those in crisis.
As Christy Jones poignantly puts it, 'We take every loss by suicide to heart and you matter, your kids matter'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand more about mental health, access valuable resources, and make a difference in preventing suicide.
