Derbo the Kingdom Morow from the Outlawsradio show. In for Alexis nun she

her. But here we have aspecial guest in the building. We're honored
to have state Representative Marlene and Yielski, and she's going to talk about something
that's very important, something that needsto be talked about more that we don't
(02:21):
hear very often about. So firstof all, how are you welcome to
the show? Oh? I'm fine, and thank you very much for inviting
me. All right, so weare going to talk about Suicide Prevention Month.
Correct? Correct? Okay, Solet's start start from the beginning.
Where you know, where did theidea for Suicide Prevention Month come from?
(02:43):
And how did it you know,get here in Ohio and stuff like that.
So for September, really it wasNAMI. The National Alliance on Mental
Illness is promoting the Suicide Prevention AwarenessMonth, and I know that Governor Kasik
has also send out information too foreveryone to be aware of Suicide Prevention Month.
(03:05):
For September. For the state ofOhio, we do have a Suicide
Prevention Day specifically that is September tenth, So we are past that day,
but we just want to continue bringingeducation and awareness to all Ohio ones to
make sure that they look out forthe warning signs so we can prevent suicides.
(03:27):
And the Suicide Prevention Day that wasa result of a bill that you
sponsor. Correct, Yes, itwas, and that was passed in two
thousand and thirteen. And again itdesignates September tenth as Ohio Suicide Prevention Day
and that corresponds to the Worldwide Dayand as the National National Day. Okay,
So like on Suicide Prevention Day andSuicide Prevention Month, are there anything
(03:53):
in particular that happens, like morematerials being presented, more awareness and things
like that. Is there anything specificthat happens during this month and that day?
Well, I think all year roundwe want people to be aware of
suicide prevention materials and different organizations,but specifically in September, I think there's
(04:14):
a lot more promotion and marketing goingon. And what I mean by that
is there's a lot going on inthe social media. The American Foundation of
Suicide Prevention, which is a nationalorganization, they push out materials. There
is another organization locally called Life Actwhere they go in to grade schools and
high schools to teach about suicide awarenessand prevention, not only educating the students
(04:40):
so they can recognize it in eachother, but also the teachers administration,
so give them some skill sets sothey can recognize someone that is struggling.
Okay, so real quick, beforewe get into some of the statistics,
let's talk a little bit about that. What are some of the skill set
some of the signs that people canlook for and order to be able to
help someone that's dealing with the situation. Well, first of all, there
(05:05):
is some free online training for parentsand teachers and also kids themselves. And
that was one of the bills thatI passed. It was House Bill five
forty three in the one twenty ninthGeneral Assembly, and that was called the
Jason Flatt Act, Ohio in honorof Joseph Yalski and just for everyone's information,
(05:25):
I did lose my eighteen year oldson to suicide. I'm starting half
years ago. Thank you. Andwhat this bill does in an act free
training for all employees in a schoolsystem and you can do it online.
It only takes two hours. Andwith that online training, the teachers themselves
(05:46):
can earn continuing education units. Sothey have to do that annually anyway,
so we wanted to make sure thatthey would earn it also taking this And
if someone doesn't feel comfortable with online, if you contact the Jason Found they
will send you materials free. Ifthat's not your style, they will send
someone to your school for free todo training. So there is information out
(06:10):
there that can help with the training. And I am not a clinician.
I just happened to be a momthat happens to be a state representative that
can do some good for Ohio withsome of the law changes and bringing awareness.
But for instance, if someone istalking about wanting to take their lives,
(06:30):
that's a sign, right, don'tleave them and you need to get
them help. If someone is searchingonline or talking about getting some type of
means to take their life, that'sa sign. If someone is for a
long period of time feeling hopeless,that's a sign because sometimes you could be
(06:54):
down, but if it's an extendedperiod of time there and there's no reason
to live. A sign if someoneis feeling trapped for whatever reason and you
don't see them being trapped, butthey're just thinking about them themselves. Not
to sign. If they start talkingabout that this place is better off without
(07:14):
me, or they're a burden toothers, So just listening to some of
the words and listening to people.If they're increasing their use of alcohol or
drugs basically to drown out the painthat they are feeling. If they're feeling
anxious or agitated and behaving recklessly,driving faster, taking chances, taking a
(07:34):
lot of risks. If they're sleepingtoo little because they can't sleep, or
too much. You know, youhave the different extremes. If they are
starting withdrawing or isolating themselves and theywant to start taking revenge on people and
they start having a lot of moodswings, they start giving away their pride
(07:56):
possessions that you know that they loved, or they're losing interest of different activities
that they love to do, thatcould also be a sign. Okay,
well we're talking with Marlene and Yelski, who is state representative for the state
of Ohio, and we were talkingduring the break about some of the statistics
(08:18):
nationwide and particularly here in Ohio,and it was really concerning. I mean,
I wasn't aware of all of thesestatistics at the time. So let's
talk a little bit about that.Let's start first with the state of Ohio.
For the state of Ohio, suicideis the leading cause of death in
the age bracket of ten to fourteenyear olds. Think about that, the
(08:41):
leading cause that is basically great school. Yeah. Wow. And the youngest
person that I have known that hastaken their their life in the state of
Ohio was just since I've been astate rep. They were seven years old.
My goodness. So wow. Ican't comprehend that they feel so trapped
(09:05):
that that is their option that isnot good. And that is higher than
the national average. And suicide isthe second leading cause of death in the
age bracket of fifteen to twenty fouryear olds. So that is our high
school and that's our college age.Wow, And again higher than the national
average. And on average, inOhio, one person dies by suicide every
(09:31):
six hours, So that means wewill lose four Ohioans every single day,
three hundred and sixty five days ayear. And when we hear about homicides
on TV, because those are usuallypublicized, for every homicide that takes place
in Ohio, there are three suicidesthat typically do not get mentioned. Wow
(09:56):
wow, So nationwide, what arewhat about the statistics? Sadly, suicide
attempts take place in the United Statesevery twenty nine seconds, so basically two
a minute, and that equals onepoint one million a year. And the
(10:18):
suicide attempts it is three women toevery one man, and a suicide is
completed every twelve point seven minutes,and that's basically forty thousand a year that
we lose. And more men dieby suicide than women. So there are
(10:39):
four men to every woman, butyet the suicide attempts are three women to
everyone to everyone, And sadly,with all of our military personnel, of
all suicides, twenty two point twopercent of all suicides that take place in
the US our veterans. So Ithink people have been seeing on social media
(11:05):
now twenty two and there's the twentytwo charge that people are doing twenty two
pushups for twenty two days to bringawareness for the veterans. Wow, and
for every four point five suicides,basically one veteran is in that we're painting
five suicides. And one thing toalso look at is the cost of suicide.
(11:31):
It basically costs forty four billion,that is with a B billion dollars
and lost wages and work productivity.You know, people can't get out of
bed, can't go to work.And also we are losing one point five
million years of life that could havebeen lived when we are losing people to
(11:52):
suicide. My goodness. So letme ask you. I come from a
community, being a person of color, this is not a topic that is
often talked about in our communities.It's really still kind of taboo. So
what can be done to kind ofbreak through that, to kind of say,
look, this is something that peopleneed to be talking about and be
(12:16):
more aware of and things like that. What can we do to open that
conversation though? Well, well,first of all, I think there is
such a big stigma that if youtalk about suicide that's going to cause suicides.
That's not true. I think ifyou present information and education to people,
(12:41):
specially adults that are dealing with children, or even adults to adults.
That helps the conversation and to getrid of of them of the stigma.
And suicide knows no class, knows, no socio economic class knows, no
age, no race. It happensto everyone, and I think people are
(13:05):
just afraid to talk about it.And that's why I have passed some other
bills and we have generated a websitefor the state of Ohio. This is
the first one. We just wentlive this year in March, Suicide Prevention
dot Ohio dot gov. Again,suicide Prevention dot Ohio dot gov. And
that gives a lot of ideas asto what you can do to talk to
(13:30):
your kids, what can you doto talk to a spouse, what other
organizations can I go to to helpme with whatever my situation is. And
with the other bill that I mentioned, the Jason Flat Act that's helping all
of the schools from K through twelve, I also passed another bill that mandates
(13:54):
public institutions of higher education or publiccolleges and public universities that they shall have
a suicide prevention program. And thereare five prongs or five issues in that
program. They must communicate the crisisintervention information the national and state local numbers
(14:16):
to their school community. Second item, they must communicate the mental health program
access with the phone numbers and whereto go. They must have an app.
What are kids using nowadays or whatare adults? Yeah, everybody's using
apps. So there are plenty ofapps that are available for your iPhone,
for your droid, for your iPadthat can connect you directly to a person
(14:39):
twenty four hours a day, threehundred and sixty five days a year.
They also need a student communication planthat how are they going to communicate all
the suicide awareness and prevention materials tothe school community. And all four of
those items need to be on thewebsite. And this is actually law now
and by mid October the public universitiesand colleges must have that on their website.
(15:03):
The fifth prog, which I hopethey never have to use, is
a postvention plan that if there isan incident of suicide, what do you
do to your school community and howdo you communicate? And there's a right
way and a wrong way. Andon the Suicide Prevention Dot Ohio dot website
we give you sample media news releasesif you will how to communicate to the
(15:28):
school community and also to the media. At large, and just because you
talk about it, that's not goingto promote someone to take their own life.
But we need to have a listeningear to make sure that we have
access of programs and services to helpthem. Okay, So as we close
(15:50):
this here for if there's anyone who'slistening, who is dealing with this and
having these thoughts and having these feelings, what should they do? What's the
first thing that they should do toget help? Okay, First of all,
there is a text line of sevenfour one, seven four one.
(16:11):
You could text someone and I knowat least in Kayaga County and many of
the counties. If you just goon to suicide Help, you can also
contact them and call them locally.If you have one of those apps,
you can talk to someone locally there. But if you are in distress right
now, please just call nine oneone, nine one one. And if
(16:34):
you are with someone that is struggling, do not leave them, take them
directly to a hospital and let theprofessionals help them. And I always say
suicide most often occurs when the stressorsin life exceed the current coping capability of
someone suffering from an emotional you know, situation and suicide prevention starts with everyday
(17:04):
heroes like everyone listening here, becauseif you know of someone that is struggling,
just reach out to help them.And one thing to remember is act,
Act, act, acknowledge that thatperson is struggling, make sure that
(17:26):
person knows that you are caring.That's the sea, and tell a trusted
adult to get that person help.So please act, and please be a
friend to that person because there areresources out there that can help yourself or
a friend. All right, absolutely, thank you so much, representative for
(17:48):
coming and talking to us a littlebit about this very difficult issue, and
thank you for all the work thatyou're doing on pos issue. Thank you
very much. All right, staytuned, we'll be right back. My
(18:11):
name is Rock Kim and I'm sixteenyears old. My name is Jamante and
I'm fifteen. My name is Edand I'm fourteen. Well, why don't
you smoke? You can lose oneof your lungs thing you get a hold
in your throat. The reason whyI don't smoke, I played basketball in
football and I'll get a lot ofair my lungs for me to able to
run. I've been down to thecourt and no be down the field.
