Page 2 of 3 Suicide Prevention Taskforce Susan began her presentation on the demographic data surrounding Deschutes County suicides last year. There were 13 suicides in 2012, and 32 percent were females. Over 52 percent completed suicide by gunshot and 30 percent died due to asphyxia. There were many contributing factors noted including substance abuse, relationship issues, access to mental healthcare, and financial stressors. Access to mental health services decreases suicidal behavior. Access to lethal means increases suicide mortality. Screening for depression and suicide risk by primary medical care increases the detection of risk and referrals for treatment. Training in suicide prevention increases knowledge, skills and attitudes related to suicide prevention. Stigma about mental illness impedes help seeking. Continuity of care after hospitalization for a suicide attempt or ideation decreases repeat suicide attempts. The committee would like workgroups created to address priority areas identified by logic model. There were some in the meeting who shared their personal experiences. Mike shared his personal experience losing a child through firearm and Eric shared his thoughts about suicide coming from a darkened heart, losing hope, isolation and abandonment. Lorelei believes we should start any outreach and education by mentioning we are discussing a highly sensitive topic. The workgroup requests to be retitled Suicide Prevention Advisory Council. The council will continue to advocate for part-time Suicide Prevention Coordinator and more case management services for the Crisis Team. Diane is to email out contact groups for each board.
