“Policies that restrict human choices contribute to established risk factors for suicide, being hopelessness & helplessness… leads depressed individuals to view suicide as the only way out of insoluble problems.” https://t.co/ix9TPlMY6L

When I wrote this it got a big reaction. I regularly have ppl tell me how impactful it was for them.

You shift hearts & minds by getting ppl to relate at a human level. This involves reducing “proximity to audience”.
Essentially you want ppl to feel “what if this were my child”

There were 600 kids aged 10-13 in prison in 2018-19 with more than 65% Aboriginal kids. 86% are currently ‘on remand’ meaning they are locked up without being found guilty. For black kids an av 71 days is spent in prison compared to 50 days for white kids

Talking about suicide or asking people about their suicidal thoughts or impulses won’t plant the idea in someone’s head or “trigger” suicide. If you don’t ask you cannot prevent.
I know it’s a well debunked myth but encountered it again today so it’s worth repeating.

The Govt decided to SOLVE suicides by restricting alcohol to communities, introducing cashless welfare cards etc. Policies that restrict human choices create hopelessness & helplessness; a negative attributional style about prospects for the future https://t.co/glsML6fAAG

An Est 80%-93% of kids in prison have trauma but we do not assess for it. Black kids 24x's more likely to end up in jail than white kids. 600 kids 10-13yrs are in prison;65% are Aboriginal. 86% on remand with black kids spending an av 71 days compared to 50 days for white kids

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

& there you have it. Police are the source of all AIC crime data. They also decide to place 87% of kids in prison without conviction. When is the causal rship between racism in policing, incarceration & underpolicing of black victims going to trigger a national bloody emergency!

Too many companies offer emotional intelligence training when they should be asking why people are so stressed in the first place.

You can't heal a sick culture with individual bandages.

Try ditching abusive bosses and oppressive rules.

Higher blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA were associated with lower levels of DNA damage in children and adolescents.

DNA damage is insidious damage that accumulates with age and plays a role in cancer and aging. https://t.co/7XNGt6aTci

Are you a mother who is addicted to self-sacrifice? I’ve been stuck in the tug-of-war between being a “good mother” and being “good at my career”. https://t.co/a9DQWV9OvG

Did we do the right thing by enforcing lockdown? “Suicide rates in Australia are forecast to rise by up to 50 per cent due to the economic and social impacts of the coronavirus and tipped to outstrip deaths from the pandemic by up to 10 times” . https://t.co/LVD26XyHVM

@wardlejon Yep I feel you!!

One thing about lockdown I’m really enjoying - my @zoom_us fitness classes in my lounge room. Much more compliant when I only have to roll out of bed and start moving! #Coronaaustralia #COVID19au #zoomfitness
