Discussion
BY KAREN WILLIAMS
A group of concerned Brussels
area citizens met Thursday, July
24th to listen to a lecture on the
topic of suicide given by Anne
Newby, psychologist for the Huron
Centre for Children and Youth.
Ms. Newby is also an active
member on the Board for the
Suicide Hotline in London and
provides therapy for suicidal adol
escents and their families.
In Canada, in 1983, there were
approximately 4,000 certified sui
cides, and experts suggest that, for
every one ofthese, there were 8-10
attempts. Eighty percent of the
population considers suicide, and
it is the third biggest cause of death
amongst teenagers aged 15- 19
years.
Discussion included sugges
tions on how to identify those who
are at high risk for suicide and how
group hears speaker on suicide
to effectively give support prior to,
during the crisis and after the
suicide, to the remaining family
and friends.
She reminded those present that
suicide is a community concern.
Our preventative response must
include a greater awareness of the
prevalence of the problem in
Huron County, and empathetic
listening toward those who share
their needs with us. If a suicide
doesoccur, itisimportanttoget
beyond assigning blame and ask
ing “why?” to showing care. Often
the stigma of suicide prevents this
from happening.
The group also suggested that
Brussels be included on the Suicide
Hotline, a toll-free service which
can be purchased from Bell
Canada. Added to this, further
educational and practical activities
will be organized to enable the
peopleof Brusselstoprovide an
even greater caring response to
this and other community issues.
