It’s NOT the nature of the event itself that makes something traumatic. It’s really the subjective experience of the individual that defines whether an event is traumatic or not. 9 THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS ABOUT TRAUMA 1. Trauma is real. 2. Trauma is prevalent. In fact, it is likely much more common than we care to admit. 3. Trauma is toxic to the brain and can affect development and learning in a multitude of ways. 4. In our school, we need to be prepared to support students who have experienced trauma, even if we don’t know exactly who they are. 5. Children are resilient, and within positive learning environments they can grow, learn, and succeed. 10 5 ATYC CONFERENCE June 15, 2020 HOW TRAUMA AFFECTS THE BRAIN • Under extreme stress, our bodies are forced to respond via a heightened state of alert known as the fight, flight, or freeze response. • Our bodies were designed to be in that state only for brief periods, and only in the face of extreme danger. 11 STRESS and ANXIETY and their effects on children and their behavior. 12 6 ATYC CONFERENCE June 15, 2020 All rights reserved.

The aim of this Winston Churchill Memorial Trust (WCMT) Travel Fellowship was to explore: i) Different approaches to preventing suicide and supporting people who self-harm. ii) The support provided to those bereaved by suicide or similar trauma. Why focus on suicide, self-harm and suicide bereavement? Suicide and self-harm are both major health and societal concerns in the UK: In 2011, 4,552 men and 1,493 women killed themselves in the UK, which is 18.1 and 9.6 per 100,000 population respectively.1 The UK has one of the highest rates of self-harm in Europe, at 400 per 100,000 population.2 For every suicide, it is claimed that on average, six people will experience intense grief3 and may require special support to avoid long term problems. My role at the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Centre for Quality Improvement has for many years involved working with health professionals who support self-harming and suicidal people on a daily basis.

    2017 Year in Review Markets Fiddle While Rome Burns David B. Collum Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Cornell University Email: [email protected] Twitter: @DavidBCollum Introduction “He is funnier than you are.” ~David Einhorn, Greenlight Capital, on Dave Barry’s Year in Review Every December, I write a survey trying to capture the year’s prevailing themes. I appear to have stiff competition—the likes of Dave Barry on one extreme1 and on the other, Pornhub’s marvelous annual climax that probes deeply personal preferences in the world’s favorite pastime.2 (I know when I’m licked.) My efforts began as a few paragraphs discussing the markets on Doug Noland’s bear chat board and monotonically expanded to a tome covering the orb we call Earth. It posts at Peak Prosperity, reposts at ZeroHedge, and then fans out from there. Bearishness and right-leaning libertarianism shine through as I spelunk the Internet for human folly to couch in snarky prose while trying to avoid the “expensive laugh” (too much setup).3 I rely on quotes to let others do the intellectual heavy lifting.

Volume One of the report includes an Executive Summary of all three vol- umes, a public health strategy for suicide prevention across New York State, and a plan for suicide prevention and public health in New York City.

  • The Way Forward: Pathways to Hope, Recovery, and Wellness with Insights from Lived Experience
    The Way Forward: Pathways to hope, recovery, and wellness with insights from lived experience Prepared by the Suicide Attempt Survivors Task Force of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention July 2014 Suggested Citation: National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention: Suicide Attempt Survivors Task Force. (2014). The Way Forward: Pathways to hope, recovery, and wellness with insights from lived experience. Washington, DC: Author. 1 This report advances Objective 10.3 of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Engage suicide attempt survivors in suicide prevention planning, including support services, treatment, community suicide prevention education, and the development of guidelines and protocols for suicide attempt survivor support groups. To download a copy of the NSSP, please visit www.actionallianceforsuicideprevention.org/NSSP. 2 Message from the Suicide Attempt Survivors Task Force Co-Leads The newly revised National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, advanced through the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, calls for a new conversation to reduce suicidal actions and death. That conversation is being given a new voice and a new tone by inviting suicide attempt survivors to share their insights on both staying alive and finding hope. The mission of the Suicide Attempt Survivors Task Force of the Action Alliance is to create a resource that would convey the voice of suicide attempt survivors. The untold stories of hope and recovery that belong to attempt survivors are the stories of suicide prevention; what they learned is what we all must learn. With these new voices come new ideas, new questions, and new insights. The Way Forward emerges from those new voices.
