Suicide Awareness Voices of Education
SAVE was started in 1989 when six suicide survivors (people who have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide) met and agreed on the need for an organization. The organization is comprised mostly of suicide survivors, and people that have suffered from depression. The major event for the organization is SAVE’s Suicide Awareness and Memorial Day held every spring in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which draws nearly 500 people annually. The #1 cause of suicide is untreated depression. SAVE is committed to the education of the general public about the depressive brain diseases (such as clinical depression and bipolar illness) that can result in suicide if left untreated medically and psychologically. By educating the general public about such brain diseases, SAVE strives to remove the stigma associated with these diseases. SAVE’s prevention and education programs are designed to: Increase knowledge about depression and suicide prevention. Increase knowledge about symptoms of depression and the warning signs of suicidal thinking and behavior. Increase the confidence and competence of participants to make interventions and referrals. Increase understanding and the use of intervention skills that can help avert the tragedy of suicide. Increase knowledge about community resources, how to access and use them.

Suicide Prevention Targeting Aboriginal People - New Emerging Team - CIHR
The Research Portfolio of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is responsible for: building the health research agenda, funding and supporting the research through CIHR's programs, evaluating the programs and resultant outcomes and providing feedback to the planning cycle. Suicide in the aboriginal community is a major issue, as addressed in the report entitled, "Acting on What We Know: Preventing Youth Suicide in First Nations-The Report of the Advisory Group on Suicide Prevention" (released in 2003). Suicide among First Nations youth has been occurring at an alarming rate in recent years. Statistics show an Aboriginal suicide rate two to three times higher than the non-Aboriginal rate for Canada, and within the youth age group, the Aboriginal suicide rate is estimated to be five to six times higher than that of non-Aboriginal youth. The goal of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research -Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health (CIHR-IAPH) is to lead a national advanced research agenda in the area of Aboriginal health, and to promote innovative research in this field that improves the health of Aboriginal peoples living in Canada. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (CIHR-INMHA) will support research to enhance mental health, neurological health, vision, hearing, and cognitive functioning and to reduce the burden of related disorders through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation. Associated research will advance our understanding of human thought, emotion, behaviour, sensation (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell), perception, learning and memory.

Antidepressant Alternative - Help Beat Teen and Child Depression
Many doctors and psychiatrists prescribe
synthetic anti-depressants for children
with depression or other developmental
disorders. While these medications
certainly do have their place, it is my
experience that they are significantly
over prescribed, without first
investigating more natural and equally
effective alternatives. Because of the
increasing demand for a safe, natural
herbal treatment for children with
depression, anxiety, OCD, or those with
Autism and related disorders, Native
Remedies has developed
MindSoothe Jr.
Using the same highly successful formula
as
MindSoothe (adult version),
MindSoothe Jr. contains St John's Wort
and Passiflora in child-friendly dosage.

Asperger's Syndrome Medication for Symptoms of Child/Adult Disorder
Offering natural remedies for Asperger's
Syndrome,
information, and help from a
practicing Clinical Psychologist. Herbal
and homeopathic remedies can be
viable
alternatives to the synthetic drugs
and may be just as effective, with far
fewer risks and side effects. Asperger's
Syndrome was first identified in 1944,
but was only officially recognized as a
diagnostic category in the DSM IV in
1994. As a result, many children were
misdiagnosed over the years as ADD/HD,
Autistic, OCD or even schizophrenic.
Many different terms are currently
applied, leading to great confusion on
the part of parents and educators.
Asperger's Syndrome may also be referred
to as High Functioning Autism (HFA),
Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD),
Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not
Otherwise Specified (PDD - NOS),
Atypical PDD or even Nonverbal Learning
Disability (NLD). While there is no
specific treatment or 'cure' for
Asperger's Syndrome, there are
many
interventions which can significantly
improve the functioning and quality of
life of people and children with
Asperger's.

David Baldwin's Trauma Information Pages
These Trauma Pages focus primarily on emotional trauma and traumatic stress, including PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) and dissociation, whether following individual traumatic experience(s) or a large-scale disaster. The purpose of this award winning site is to provide information for clinicians and researchers in the traumatic-stress field. Specifically, my interests here include both clinical and research aspects of trauma responses and their resolution. For example; What goes on biologically in the brain during traumatic experience and its resolution? Which psychotherapeutic procedures are most effective with traumatic symptoms, for which patients and why? How can we best measure clinical efficacy and treatment outcome for trauma survivor populations? Supportive resources supplement the more academic or research information of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students. I do realize that these are not mutually exclusive groups. Since 19 May 1995 (a month after the Oklahoma City bombing), this site has welcomed 1,400,655 visits (363 today).
