MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
Local helpers discuss depression, push for 3-digit ‘988’ hotline BY ALI BRABOY Shaw Media
Would be a great resource Camry Sarver of LaSalle thinks a three-digit suicide prevention hotline would be a great resource for those who feel like they can’t reach out to people in their everyday lives. In December of 2017, Sarver had no indication a lifelong friend was depressed. “I didn’t know at all,” Sarver said, of his friend, who died by suicide in December 2017. “Always check in on the loved ones around you,” Sarver said. “You’d be surprised how many people keep it locked away.” Suicide has ranked as the 10th leading cause of death for all ages in the United States since 2008, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. From 1999-2017, the age-adjusted suicide rate increased 33 percent from 10.5 to 14.0 per 100,000, according to the CDC.

This group is open to all adults of all ages. Don Leynaud of Peru encourages all to visit the DBSA national organization’s website at www.dbsalliance. org.

Financial concerns and a lack of daily energy and motivation are some of the worries that Illinois Valley residents with depression experience. Another is knowing where to turn when depression becomes a personal emergency. “One of the challenging things with depression, especially this time of year, is it can cause a lot of social withdrawal in addition to lack of interest and daily activities,” said Michael Miroux, who co-leads the Princeton Depression Ally Meetup group. Miroux himself has experienced persistent depression disorder and generalized anxiety. “I struggle with that a lot,” he said. The Federal Communications Commission recently started the process of designating 988 as a new, nationwide, three-digit number for a suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline. The idea is it will help ease access to crisis services, reduce the stigma surrounding suicide and mental health conditions, and ultimately save lives. The 988 number isn’t currently active. The national suicide prevention lifeline at this time continues to be 800-273-TALK (8255), which provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources people. The availability of a three-digit suicide prevention hotline would be easier to remember and make it easier for someone to access support while experiencing a mental health crisis or having suicidal thoughts, Miroux said. “When someone is in that situation where they feel pretty hopeless and feel desperate, it’s unlikely they’ll have the insight to look up the lifeline (the current 1-800-273-8255 number) unless they’ve used it before or it’s programmed in their phone,” he said.

2020 ELECTION | U.S. HOUSE | 16TH DISTRICT
Kinzinger challenger planning series of town halls Brzozowski’s first event in Princeton on Jan. 30 SHAW MEDIA PRINCETON — Dani Brzozowski of LaSalle, a Democratic candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 16th District, said she will conduct a series of town hall events throughout the district, starting Thursday, Jan. 30, in Princeton. The event is scheduled for 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Matson Meeting Room at
the Princeton Public Library, 698 E. Peru St. Brzozowski will answer questions from audience members. Attendees can either ask their questions live or write their questions down to have them asked by a moderator. Brzozowski said U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, “has not held a town hall in over two years, and even before that, he rarely held them. That’s a little shocking, considering that when he first ran for Congress in 2010, he consistently brought up that his opponent rarely
did town halls.” Kinzinger pushed for more town halls when running for Congress in 2010 against U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, saying at the time the congresswoman Dani was “ducking” them. Brzozowski His office has said in the past some groups have caused chaos at town halls to get media coverage, noting the congressman sought alternative ways to meet with the public.
When asked about town hall meetings in a 2018 radio debate, Kinzinger said it’s difficult to travel all 14 counties of the 16th District, which includes LaSalle County, as he spends four days a week in Washington, D.C. He noted at the time that he’s held meetings in the district covering topics from human trafficking to opioids, among other topics. He also said he has held town halls via telephone. Brzozowski said she will announce future dates and locations of town halls as they are confirmed.
Upon arrival, emergency personnel found one vehicle off the roadway. There was no extrication needed. Two people were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.
After the victims were assessed for injuries by medical personnel, they refused transport to a hospital. Illinois State Police investigated the accident.
