There are supports but there are not enough supports, and that's usually the problem," [Bev Trachuk] said. "They're not getting the help they need. "There's stigma, there's shame, there's the isolation of depression that prevents people from reaching out," she said. "We need to make these efforts to reach out to people who aren't making the effort to seek help." * They start alluding to suicide, saying things like "I don't want to be here anymore" or "I don't see any hope." Any mention of dying, disappearing or other types of self-harm are signs.
It is important for youth to speak openly about the effects of suicide because they deal with it in their community," said House about the project. "This PSA is important because it involves the voice of the youth, but also because it is a project by the community for the community," he added. For the youth this meant increasing their reading level and attendance, and improving in math. If the students completed the challenge then the Going Miles Society would return at the end of February 2010, provide a hypnotist show (at no cost to the school) and work with the youth on the preproduction phase of the PSA. Upon completion of the challenge, ChickenHorse Productions, an Aboriginal production company with a head office on the Kehewin Cree Nation in Northern Alberta, agreed to provide al...

The governmental response to the suicide problem at Manitoba's Shamattawa First Nation is classic, it would seem, in its form and predictable in its effect. The media storm that erupted in 2002 from a cluster of suicides and attempted suicides at the northern, isolated community, embarrassed governments to throw cash at the problem. Small wonder. Health Canada appointed in 2001 a national advisory panel to review the rising rates of suicide among First Nations communities and among its findings was the discouraging fact that very little is known about the causes of suicide, and in particular youth suicide, among Canada's aboriginal people. [Michael Chandler] found that the commonly cited characteristics -- levels of poverty, location of reserve, number of children in care, unemployment ...
This month, Mattel Inc., one of the largest U.S. toy companies, was forced to recall 967,000 plastic preschool toys made by [Lee Der] because they were decorated with paint found to have excessive amounts of lead. The toys, sold in the U.S. under the Fisher-Price brand, included likenesses of Big Bird and Elmo, as well as the Dora and Diego characters. In the Lee Der suicide, an official who answered the telephone at the company's factory in the southern city of Foshan on Monday said he had not heard of the news. A man at Lee Der's main office in Hong Kong said the company was not accepting interviews. Telephones at Foshan's police headquarters rang unanswered. After the recall, Lee Der maintained that its paint supplier, [Cheung Shu]'s best friend, supplied "fake paint" used in the toy...
The culture was actually practiced rather than talked about. People were trapping and speaking the language, hunting, and we're still very much a hunting culture," [Joe Linklater] said. "I think it was just a good strong cultural belief. We live in a small tight community so there's good family support and a lot of self-sufficiency that's still practiced. "I think the youth are not being listened to. We're not paying attention," he said. "Us parents, and I'll include myself, we're not paying enough attention, we're not caring enough for our youth and so they're feeling left out and they probably feel that people don't care. And that's combined, of course, with the alcohol and drugs that are going on." "I've really stressed the fact at many youth conferences that, if youth have problem...
The U.S. administration condemned the suicide attack and offered condolences to families and friends of the dead and wounded. "We applaud the government of Pakistan's determination and resolve to fight against terror," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "We stand with the government and people of Pakistan in this struggle. I ran toward the army camp after seeing dust and smoke and hearing cries," he said. "I saw body parts and injured everywhere on the ground where the soldiers do their morning exercise every day. I helped soldiers transport the bodies and wounded soldiers to hospitals." "The government is to be blamed for today's attack. If you kill innocent students and teachers by attacking their school, you should be ready to face such things," he said. "People will not s...
In her 56-page report, [Marva Smith] said [Devon Chester Newson]'s suicide was an impulsive, unplanned act. He killed himself after gang members beat him the night before, apparently because he looked at one of them the wrong way. What Stony officials did not know about Newson, formerly of Calgary, was he had a history of impulsive, uncontrollable behaviour. A report outlining his outbursts said he had been treated with Wellbutrin and Risperidone to control his symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, his mood instability, insomnia and anger. That report was prepared when Newson was still considered a young offender and not made available to Correctional Services of Canada. Smith also said Stony staff have to do more to make sure first-time inmates are not put on gang range...
