Hint Secretary-Manage- r in The Published Bee Summil County September 8, 15 and 22. 2000. 1 Subscribe To The Summit County Bee Pointers For Parents Teen Suicide: Know The Warning Signs (NAPS) An estimated 7,000 American teens take their own lives each year. That amount! to a parent (or parental losing a non or daughter to suicide every hour and 45 minutes. U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. David Satdier has deemed teen uiade a national health emergency and hae issued a call to action to combat thia teen epidemic. The Jason Foundation Inc. ia an organization dedicated to teen suicide awareness, education and prevention. It was formed in 1997 after the tragic luicide of the founder's on, Jaaon Flatt. Alarmed to discover that suicide ia the second leading cause of death for teena ogee 15 to 19 and that few program! are available addressing prevention strategies Clark Flatt created the Jason Foundation. The organization presents seminars for adults and teens to hsip reduce the incidence of this tragedy and understand it when it occurs. Since 1970, the youth suicide rite has tripled. In fact, according to a 1992 study, more teenagers and young adults die each year from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonie and chronic lung disease combined. The Jason Foundation ofTers these warning signs for parents, teens and friends; Suicide Threats Saying things like I would be better off dead or 'Nobody would miss me if I were dead. Previous Suicide Attempts Four out of five successful suicides are not from a first attempt, ao don't discount such an event as something a teen will get over, or something done for attention. Sudden Changes in Behavior When a teens peraonality seems to flip (quiet to loud, gentle to aggressive, outgoing to withdrawn), or school behavin' (attendance, grades) changes suddenly, take it seriously. Getting teens to open up about their feelings can be one of the toughest parts of being a parent But it can also help prevent the tragedy of suicide. Depression Extended periods of the blues and feelings of being alone with no one caring are not normal, even for teenagers. Sleep disorders and eating disorders can also be symptomatic of g impulses. Final Arrangements When, teens give sway prized possessions (favorite jacket, a treasured collection), or ask friends to take care of certain obligations when they're not around. In addition to seminars, the organization helps form dubs in middle and high schools to provide a positive peer support group for teens. A national partner of the fount dation ia HomePoint, a leading solutions to' provider of the home furnishings industry. Through the partnership, Homs' Point sponsors local, regional and, national initiatives to help battle ; the problem of suicide. Home-Poihas also used its lnternett expertise to help relaunch Foundation website to' make it a more interactive and. nt the-Jaso- informative site for a broad range of usera. To learn more about thia life- - saving organization, call the Jason Foundation at or visit the website at 888-881-23- www.jasnnfoundation.coni.
