SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: RESILIENCE
DESCRIPTION:Resilience is a new documentary that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and a new movement to treat and prevent toxic stress. Watch the trailer HERE  \nResearchers have recently discovered a dangerous biological syndrome caused by abuse and neglect during childhood. As the new documentary Resilience reveals\, toxic stress can trigger hormones that wreak havoc on the brains and bodies of children\, putting them at a greater risk for disease\, homelessness\, prison time\, and early death. While the broader impacts of poverty worsen the risk\, no segment of society is immune. Resilience\, however\, also chronicles the dawn of a movement that is determined to fight back. Trailblazers in pediatrics\, education\, and social welfare are using cutting-edge science and field-tested therapies to protect children from the insidious effects of toxic stress—and the dark legacy of a childhood that no child would choose.  \nPlease register for this event by clicking here: RESILIENCE REGISTRATION \nThere will be a Q&A discussion after the film. Refreshments following.

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)

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.
