Suicide Gone By 2035? Early Childhood Prevention Over Intervention
Send us a text
Today, I sit down with Ms. Deborah and Mr. Brian, who are on a powerful mission to make suicide extinct by the year 2035. We start with some startling statistics and talking about intervention before we explore how true prevention starts at the root — long before the crisis point — through education, conversation, and emotional tools made simple enough for even eight-year-olds to understand.
Ms. Deborah shares how her own experiences with suicidal ideation and healing through EMDR therapy inspired her to write a book and create a prevention program built around “The Five Stages of Intellectual Development.” She emphasizes the need to begin conversations around emotions and decision-making as early as age eight, before puberty and the social issues of adolescence hit.
Mr. Brian, who survived a suicide attempt that resulted in the loss of a limb, joins the conversation with vulnerability and wisdom. He talks about the long journey from hopelessness to hope, the power of second chances, and how his new sense of purpose is helping others reframe their own lives.
We discuss why lived experience is more valuable than a degree in this space, and how the real goal is prevention, not just intervention. We also explore the roadblocks they’ve faced — from website restrictions in Canada to the difficulty of getting taken seriously without clinical credentials — and how they’ve pushed forward anyway, one conversation and one child at a time.
