“…TBI frequently occurs during intoxication [7] and substance abuse is documented in 5-25% of all suicides [21]. The literature suggests that a pattern of substance abuse prior to TBI puts patients at higher risk for suicide.…”

“…A patient should be seen by a psychiatry emergency service. Treatment can involve hospitalization, outreach to family and friend networks and the signing of a no-suicide contract [21]. Although there is no empirical evidence that no-suicide contracts are effective [54], they may be beneficial in that they provide clear instructions to the patient on steps to take when he or she feels overwhelmed [55].…”

This paper concludes that increasing awareness of depression and suicide risk assessment in the TBI population should be aimed towards staff involved in neuro-rehabilation as well as other professionals who are involved in the care of patients with TBI, because psychoeducation of those most likely to come in contact with at-risk individuals have been shown to increase identification of suicidal patients, lowering suicide rates.

“…According to a psychiatric autopsy study [6], more than 90% of people who die by suicide suffer a mental disorder previous to their death. Patients who report anhedonia and sleeplessness with major anxiety symptoms, alcohol abuse, or emotional problems have the highest short-term risk for suicide [24].…”

The Papageno effect concerns how media can play a positive role in preventing and mitigating suicidal ideation and behaviors. With the increasing ubiquity and widespread use of social media, individuals often express and share lived experiences and struggles with mental health. However, there is a gap in our understanding about the existence and effectiveness of the Papageno effect in social media, which we study in this paper. In particular, we adopt a causal-inference framework to examine the impact of exposure to mental health coping stories on individuals on Twitter. We obtain a Twitter dataset with ∼2M posts by ∼10K individuals. We consider engaging with coping stories as the Treatment intervention, and adopt a stratified propensity score approach to find matched cohorts of Treatment and Control individuals. We measure the psychosocial shifts in affective, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes in longitudinal Twitter data before and after engaging with the coping stories. Our findings reveal that, engaging with coping stories leads to decreased stress and depression, and improved expressive writing, diversity, and interactivity. Our work discusses the practical and platform design implications in supporting mental wellbeing.

“…A broad educational review of the various possible impacts on the clinician of working with SDV and other high-risk populations should be conducted. This should include impacts on physical and mental health (e.g., hypertension, posttraumatic stress), as well as social and professional impacts (e.g., decreased job satisfaction, poorer job performance; e.g., Kleespies & Dettmer, 2000; Wurst et al, 2011). This competency concludes with a review and resource provision regarding evidence-based self-care (e.g., mindfulness; Escuriex & Labbé, 2011) and clinical supervision (e.g., Magaletta & McLearen, 2015).…”

Self-directed violence (SDV), comprising both suicide and self-injury, presents a continued public health challenge for correctional institutions. In fact, correctional settings are one of four primary targets for the reduction of SDV by leading professional organizations. This article presents a public health solution to SDV in correctional settings, namely the Core Competency Model for Corrections (CCM for Corrections), an educational program for correctional mental health providers. Grounded in the general CCM of Suicide Prevention, we proffer an evidence-based sample curriculum covering 10 SDV prevention competencies in correctional settings. These competencies address both clinical care (e.g., enacting evidence-based treatment plans, using best practice documentation standards) and provider-focused (e.g., managing personal attitudes about SDV and incarcerated persons, engaging in self-care and debriefing) skills. We further espouse the underlying social-cognitive theory of CCM for Corrections toward the goal of identifying mechanisms of action for improved SDV prevention skills. Finally, we highlight considerations in the initial design and testing of CCM for Corrections. These recommendations address (a) utilization of a community–academic partnership approach and corrections SDV advisory panel, (b) selection of an in-person or online training modality, and (c) measurement of sample educational program outcomes. The CCM for Corrections represents a promising approach to SDV reduction and management in correctional settings ripe for collaborative pilot testing.
