Lessons Learned from cohort 1Slide4

SPECIAL Populations

Goal: Staff members are aware of the risk and protective factors for individuals within special populations and are competent at engaging and supporting the unique needs of individuals within the community they serve. Slide5

Rationale

The relationship between beliefs, values, and culture, and risk for suicide requires competent exploration in a trusting therapeutic relationshipCritical for workforce who serve individuals at risk of suicide to have understanding of potential impact of these factors on the individual and treatment process

Some special populations of individuals have been found to have unique risk/protective factors

An individual’s beliefs, values, and culture can play an important role in the factors that contribute to suicidal risk, as well as those serving as potential protective factors. Slide6

Understanding impact: Beliefs, Values, Culture

Suicide experts have identified several core areas theorized to be related to suicide risk/protective factors: Core areas represent issues that behavioral health providers may want to explore when understanding an individual’s unique beliefs, values, and culture

Acculturation/cultural mistrust

Perceptions of family/community responsibility

Beliefs about suicide/deathBeliefs about mental health/help seekingSlide7

Suicide risk in Young People: LGBT Community

Recent research has documented that adolescent sexual minorities are at increased risk for suicidal behaviors when compared heterosexual peersPrevalence of suicide attempts for youth within LGBT: 20-53%LGBT youth have not been found to compromise a disproportionately large percentage of completed suicidesDiscrimination

Research underscores the toll that discrimination experienced in every day life takes on LGBT youth

Increase in suicidal behavior may be due in part to such discrimination

Can inhibit individuals from accessing/getting help when neededCan prevent those in helping positions from asking questions regarding sexuality/identitySlide8

RISK/Protective Factors in Young People: LGBT CommunitySlide9

Family Acceptance and suicide risk: LGBT Community

LGBT youth experience an increase in suicide attempts/ideation near the time of disclosure Theorized due to stress related to coming out and fear of (or actual) family rejectionLGBT young adults who reported high levels of family rejection compared to those who reported little or no family rejection were:8.4 times more likely to report having attempted suicide

5.9 times more likely to report high levels of depression

3.4 times more likely to use illegal drugs

3.4 times more likely to report having engaged in unprotected sexual intercourseFamily Acceptance ProjectSlide10

Military personnel, veterans, and their families: suicide risk

Suicide is the second most common cause of death in the U.S. Armed ForcesIssue is also significant for veterans An estimated 22 veterans die by suicide every day (rates in 2010)Young male veterans under age 30 are three times more likely to commit suicide than their non-military counterparts

This issue also impacts families

Increased family discord, decreased satisfaction in marital relationships, increased psychological distress for childrenSlide11

RISK Factors in the Military/Veteran Community

Risk Factors Specific to Military Personnel

Risk Factors Specific to VeteransSlide12

Suicide risk in Racial/Ethnic Groups

Racial/ethnic groups differ in epidemiology of suicide/risk and protective factors/patterns of help seekingProviders should be aware of these group differences when working with individuals, while recognizing that each individual is unique in their beliefs, values, and culture Suicide Rates in the U.S. & Texas by Race/Ethnicity (2012-2014)Slide13

Moving Beyond: Community OutreachTo ensure effective/engaging suicide prevention services/supports are available to individuals from special populations, it is essential to

Engage members of these community groups in planning/evaluating these programsBehavioral health organization can also partner with faith leaders, community cultural leaders, and cultural organizations to ensure cultural brokers have the skills needed for identifying individuals in their community who are at risk for suicide and make appropriate referralsSponsoring gatekeeper trainings targeting individuals with these organizations (e.g., faith leaders, traditional/native healers, community health workers, etc.) can be helpful/build partnerships Community partnerships can assist the behavioral health organization in understanding the needs of the individuals they representSlide14
