SUMMARY:Screening of "Suicide: The Ripple Effect"
DESCRIPTION:PARENTS: This documentary is sponsored by Break the Hold\, The Mental Health Association of Westchester\, Films on Purpose and Pleasantville Strong. The screening will be held at the Jacob Burns Center. This is a FREE event. There is limited seating. RSVP REQUIRED. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER ONLINE. Please bring your ticket with you to the screening. \n  \n  \nSUICIDE – THE RIPPLE EFFECT \n“Suicide: The Ripple Effect” is a feature length documentary film and MOVEMENT\, currently in production\, focusing on the devastating effects of suicide and the tremendous positive ripple effects of advocacy\, inspiration and hope. \nThe film highlights the journey of Kevin Hines\, who at age 19\, attempted to take his life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Today Kevin is a world-renowned mental health advocate\, motivational speaker and author who travels the globe spreading a message of hope\, recovery and wellness.  \nThe film chronicles Kevin’s personal journey and the ripple effect it has on those who have been impacted by his suicide attempt and his life’s work since. In addition\, the film highlights the stories of individuals and families who are utilizing their personal tragedy to bring hope and healing to others. \n \n  \nWHY THIS STORY \nSuicide is an epidemic that takes over 800\,000 lives globally every year. In the United States alone there are one million suicide attempts and over 40\,000 deaths by suicide every year. Our United States Military is devastatingly impacted with 22 Veterans dying everyday by suicide\, and that is an understatement. \nResearch has shown that for every one suicide death\, over 115 people are directly\, and secondarily effected and the financial cost of suicide in the US is estimated to be over 40 billion dollars annually. Suicide is global public health crisis that is not receiving the attention it deserves and therefore millions continue to die and the ripple effects of these deaths continue to devastate parents\, children\, families\, friends and communities. This film is uniting and igniting change that will have a tremendous positive impact on reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts around the world. It is not just a film; it is a movement. \nThere have been other films about suicide but most have been very sombre. This film will take a very hopeful\, intriguing\, and yet entertainment-focused approach by highlighting the work being done by individuals who have been directly impacted by suicide. Work that raises eyebrows\, and pushes people toward giving back to their communities. \nIn addition\, this will be the first full length feature documentary film focused on Kevin’s story\, which is very dramatic and miraculous.

SUMMARY:Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
DESCRIPTION:ASIST is appropriate for all members of the community regardless of prior experience or training.

ASIST is also appropriate for professionals of all disciplines who can enhance their skills with these trainings. Participants will learn about “contributaries” to thoughts of suicide\, to recognize “invitations” to ask about thoughts of suicide\, to have a conversation with someone at risk\, and to connect to effective sources of support. \nCourse fee: $75 (New York State Office of Mental Health provides support for this training.)\n15 Contact Hours for New York State Licensed Master Social Workers\, Licensed Clinical Social Workers\, and Licensed Mental Health Counselors available. \nNote: This is a 2 day workshop on 1/23-1/24 from 9:00am – 5:00pm \nSuicide Prevention Center of New York (SPCNY)\, SW CPE is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #0384. \nThe Suicide Prevention Center of New York (SPCNY)\, is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Mental Health Practitioners as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed mental health counselors #MHC-0090. \nPlease download and fill out the registration form here\, and email it to rosenowc@mhawestchester.org or fax to 914-347-8827\, attention Chuck Rosenow.
