Download or read book Eight Stories Up written by DeQuincy Lezine and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a teenager, DeQuincy Lezine nearly ended his own life, believing it was the only way to escape the emotional pain that was overwhelming him. Instead, Lezine was able to find expert psychiatric care, and went on to found the first university campus-based chapter of the Suicide Prevention Action Network USA. Now a researcher at the University of Rochester's Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide, Lezine has devoted his life to preventing suicide in adolescents, and he brings the wealth of his personal and professional experience to bear in Eight Stories Up. He starts by describing his deteriorating state of mind in college, using his own email archive to retell the episode that would nearly claim his life. He then offers hard-earned wisdom and practical advice to other young people who may be considering suicide. In straightforward, easy-to-understand language, and drawing on the psychiatric expertise of David Brent, MD, Lezine discusses the potential causes of suicide in adolescents, how to seek psychiatric treatment, and how to get the most out of professional help. He also surveys some of the therapies used to prevent suicide, how to talk to loved ones about suicidal thoughts, and how to stay healthy at home and at school. The result is both a remarkable memoir and a useful guide that will ease the isolation and hopelessness caused by thoughts of suicide, helping young people to overcome their troubles in a safe and healthy way. Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, Eight Stories Up offers hope to young people who are at risk of suicide, extending a lifeline of support and guidance that can save their lives.
Download or read book Preventing Suicide by Young People written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the experience of BoysTown - a service provider and advocate for children and young people - the current discourse about suicide often fails to recognise the lived experience of young people, inhibiting the development of a systematic and effective response. This discussion paper aims to improve our knowledge about suicide in this distinct age group, to better inform prevention work both by BoysTown and the wider mental health sector. It aims to commence a conversation with policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and those with lived experience of this issue and develop collaboration within this group. The paper invites feedback and encourages young people to take part in an online survey. It features a discussion of definitions, prevalence, current government policy and strategy, suicide risk and protective factors, theories and models of suicide, pathways to suicide for young people, suicide prevention and treatment approaches, prevention and early intervention, clinical interventions, emergency and crisis support, continuing care, community-wide approaches, and seeking help and accessing services.
