CONTENT WARNING: Death by suicide, suicidal ideation, suicide prevention, mental health crises.
In this episode, the gals are joined by Matthew Moody. Matthew serves as the Director Of Contact Operations and Clinical Services at Solari Crisis and Human Services. In this role, he oversees 100 employees in a crisis contact center that fields over 40,000 calls per month.

Burnout in the Mental Health field

How to support someone in crisis
Resources:
Why People Die by Suicide

It's Not About the Nail
Steps you can take when someone is talking about suicide:
Help them feel supported and heard
Create a comfortable space to talk about it

Phrases you can say "I want to check in", "I care about you", "I want to make sure you’re safe", "Have you thought about hurting or killing yourself?"

Show up and listen

Don’t talk over them

Don’t give them advice
What’s the next step?
Ask yourself and them "Do we need to get 9-8-8 on the line?"

Ask directly and clearly, let them know you care - "How did you get here, what’s led you to feel like this?"
IMPORTANT TAKEAWAYS
It is a myth that if you ask someone if they’re suicidal that you are going to put the idea in their head
They’re overriding their instinctual desire to stay alive

It’s not illegal to think about or die from suicide

September 20, 2022 Gentle Accountability
Noa Ferguson, MS, MT-BC hosts a mini thought-centered episode around the idea of “gentle accountability” - finding your personal balance between continuing to strive for your best work while also acknowledging the limitations life brings to our day-to-day experiences. Noa shares self reflection prompt excerpts from her Song Implementation Checklist for Music Therapists™ that she uses within her own work as a therapist and supervisor, and talks through ways to apply these types of introspective questions into work outside of music therapy, and into the talk therapy education/teaching spaces.
You’ll leave this introspective episode with a platform to start defining what “gentle accountability” means, looks like, and feels like in your life, and ways to question and self-evaluate your teaching practices to prioritize engagement and accessibility for your students, clients, and people you support in your work.
