North Haven public schools welcomed students back on Wednesday, Aug. 31. “The first day of school is always an exciting and somewhat magical time of the year when students and staff come to school with hopes and dreams of the year ahead,” Clintonville Principal Lauretta Dowling said. “I love being a principal and feel so fortunate to welcome returning students and new students and their families and support them as they travel on their journey of learning.”

Press Release

Right now, Lights Out CT aims to educate people on what they can do to mini mize bird window strikes during the fall migration pe riod which runs through Oc tober. The next critical peri od is the spring migration which begins April 15.

“Birds are migrating on routes that are millions of years old,” said Repasz. “They evolved migrating in darkness. It was only the light of the stars and moon they would use to navigate, as well as barometric pres sure and the earth’s magnet ic field. So we build cities right underneath them and the light confuses them.”

Art Mongillo, Public Infor mation Officer at the State Department of Mental Health and Addiction Ser vices, explained it is impor tant to look for signs, for ex ample, people threatening to hurt themselves and those seeking access to pills or weapons. Mongillo suggests busy parents to stay con nected and to have a conver sation about suicide with their children. Knowing what is happening in their life, relationships, school life and anything that could be causing them stress, can help parents keep an eye on red flags. If an individual has suspicions about another person wanting to commit suicide but the person de nies their intentions, Mongillo said speaking to a professional about it can

school students, the rate of attempt to suicide was 10 per 100,000 for Hispanics and Latinos, 5.8 per 100,000 for Blacks, and 5.7 per 100,000 for Thewhites.medical director said the risk of dying by suicide is “greatly increased” for those with access to legal means. “In the United States, the states that have fewer gun laws and greater gun owner ship per citizen, have the highest rates of death by sui cide,” Allen said.

suicides have increased by nearly 40% between 2000 and 2018, Allen said. He not ed that in Connecticut, more people die from suicides than in homicides and car accidents. “It is a very signif icant public health issue,” he Also,said.

Crisis as a trigger

there is a trend associ ated to a decrease in sui cides after a national crisis

According to Allen, suicide is one of the main topics ad dressed in the behavioral health practice. In the U.S.

Suicidal risk factors can be found in individuals who are talking about dying, who are having a dramatic change in the way they behave, be coming socially isolated, in creasing their use of sub stances and becoming more introverted, Allen said.

Preventive factors include access to behavioral health care, strong connections with family, friends and so cial groups, problem solving and coping skills, involve ment in various activities such as sports, volunteering initiatives and living life with purpose and meaning.

Prevention tips

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. As a volunteer advocate with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, I am calling on my members of Congress to pass legislation to prevent suicides and support crisis care. I have personally lost loved ones, a boyfriend serving in the military, and a family member who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Sadly, in addition, I also have a family mem ber who had attempted to die by suicide, as well as a family member who experienced pervasive harassment based on disability within the school setting, and also considered end ing their life. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline must be sus tainably funded so that confidential, voluntary services by trained counselors are accessible. H.R.7116, the 988 Imple mentation Act, would provide federal funding and guidance to states for 988 crisis services across the nation. An alterna tive to 911 for mental health crises, 988 connects callers to Lifeline centers. These centers de-escalate 98% of crisis calls without dispatching emergency services. Well-resourced cri sis support systems can connect callers with local resources, including someone to talk to (call centers), someone to re spond (mobile crisis teams), and somewhere to go (crisis sta bilization centers). We must ensure that every state has the capacity to provide comprehensive crisis response services to help save lives. For more information, go to afsp.org/988. Join me in urging Congress to take action to #StopSuicide!

death for people age 10 to 24. According to the organi zation the number of people who died from a suicide in Connecticut in 2020 was 364. Allen said connecticut ranked 45th as a state in terms of suicide deaths. “It’s good to be low, but it’s tragic whenever anyone dies of suicide,” Allen stressed.

Nationally, over 50% of sui cide deaths occur by fire arms; in Connecticut that number is 30%, Allen added. He noted once someone thinking about committing suicide has a gun, the person has less time to reconsider and less room for error.
