With this podcast, I truly hope to reach and improve the lives of veterinarians and other professionals in the industry. Today I am talking with Cheyenne Williams, who has worked in Vet Med for 11 years. Cheyenne shares her touching and personal story that connects her to her work with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
In 2016 Cheyenne lost her mother to suicide, she found herself navigating and coping and finding resources for her younger brothers but it was not until 2019 at an American Foundation for Suicide Prevention event, Out of the Darkness Walk, that she found an emotional but special connection and space. She soon became a board member of this foundation and works to promote and spread awareness of these resources.
Are you a veterinarian clinic owner or hospital manager who may have concerns about your staff members? Do you want to be educated so you can know if your co-workers are suffering? The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention website provides a thoughtful list of risks and warnings.
Risk Factors
Health
-Mental health: Depression, substance use, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality traits of aggression, mood changes or poor relationships, conduct, anxiety
-Physical health: Unbearable pain, Traumatic Brain Injury
Environmental
-Access to lethal means: firearms and drugs
-Prolonged stress: harassment, bullying, relationship problems, or unemployment
-Stressful life events: rejection, divorce, financial crisis, life transitions or loss
-Exposure to other suicides or graphic accounts of suicides
Historical
-Previous attempts, family history, child abuse, neglect, or trauma
Protective Factors
Access to mental health care, proactivity with mental health care, connection to family, community support, problem-solving and coping skills, limited access to lethal means, cultural and religious beliefs that encourage connecting and help-seeking, discourage suicidal behaviors or encourage a strong sense of personal self-esteem.
Warning Signs
Talk: speaking about suicide, stated they feel hopeless, feel trapped, or have unbearable pain
Behavior: increased use of alcohol or drugs, looking for ways to end their life, withdrawal from activities, isolation from family and friends, sleeping too much or too little calling friends and family to say goodbye, giving away prized possessions, aggression, fatigue
Mood: depression, anxiety, loss of interest, irritability, humiliation, shame, agitation, anger, relief, sudden improvement
Do you feel stuck? Burned Out? Role isn't right? Cheyenne's side hustle turned full-time business, Shiney Day Specialized Pet Care offers a unique insight into other options. She transitioned from a busy hospital and on-call schedule to her work with pets needing medical support beyond the hospital via medications or fluids. No matter what you're doing, Cheyenne says, personal boundaries are important because whether you're in a hospital setting or working in your own business you can still get burned out.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is an incredible resource if you are personally suffering or find yourself with someone suffering from suicidal thoughts. Reach out to the suicide crisis line by calling or texting to 988; text TALK to 741741, or call 911. If possible stay with the individual, remove lethal means and get them to the nearest medical facility or emergency room.

Early in the pandemic there was a lot of talk about how the initial lockdown and stay-at-home orders would affect people’s mental health, including risk for suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). In this episode, Dr. Ruth Tatnell answers questions about the pandemic's effects on rates of self-injury: Did the initial lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic increase self-injury urges and behaviors like many people thought would happen? And do we know if self-harm has increased, decreased, or stayed the same since the first lockdown of the pandemic?
Learn more about Dr. Tatnell and her work at Deakin University here, and connect with her on LinkedIn here. Below is her publication discussed in this month's episode as well as additional articles referenced in our interview:

The episode provides a novel way to describe risk and steers professionals away from high, medium and low risk stratification. The listener will be introduced to:
On the way to formulating an opinion of clear and imminent risk. This is a far more nuanced approach and a meaningful attempt at conducting a person centered risk assessment.
The listener will also be presented with the evidence base which leaves very little doubt about the futility of risk categorisation.

Self-harm or self-injury affects 15% of teenagers today. In this episode, Dr. Shanna Garza, Adolescent Medicine physician and expert, discusses how self-harm stems from maladaptive coping skills. Teens who self harm often have underlying mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders or a history of trauma.
Parents are understandably concerned if they learn their kids are cutting or scratching as a form of coping. Parents of teens can learn how to help their children manage this issue. Parenting teenagers takes open communication and unconditional support, and Dr. Garza offers helpful guidance to parents with children who self-harm.
