Interlude_ You Matter - Mental Health and Suicide Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

Content Warning: Suicide, Mental Health, Depression
This week is different. A week ago a family member of mine took their life suddenly, unexpectedly and we are shaken to our core. It is tragic and hard for me to comprehend. I want him back, but unfortunately, it is too late for that.
But if you are here, and you are listening, it is not too late for you if you are struggling with depression, fear, self-hatred, and self-doubt. There are resources available for you to get help because you are worth it. You have value. You deserve help and do not have to face mental illness, depression, and thoughts of suicide alone. And please know, getting help is courageous, it is brave, and the fact that you are still getting up fighting means you are strong. Mental illness and depression do not mean you are weak or broken. You. Matter.
Below are some resources where you can get help. Please remember you are not alone in this.
Resources
Note: If you or someone you know is currently in a medical emergency, please call 911.
United States
National Suicide Hotline - (1-800-273-8255)
This is a toll-free hotline for people who are in distress and believe they are at risk of self-harm. They also provide a number for Spanish speaking callers (1-888-628-9454) and for the Deaf/Hard of Hearing (1-800-799-4889).
Crisis Text Line
Some people do not feel comfortable with phone conversations (or for those who are unable to), and there are alternative solutions to help those who are in crisis. The Crisis Text Line, as the name implies, allows people to reach out via text, by texting HOME to 741741 which will then connect them to a crisis counselor. (They also have texting options available for those living in Canada and the UK.)
Lifeline Chat
Another alternative to phone calls is the Lifeline Chat, a service offered by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (who also run the National Suicide Hotline).
The Trevor Project
For those who are struggling and are also LGBTQ+, The Trevor Project has been serving the LGBTQ+ youth via phone, chat, and text.
International
The website International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) has a large list of helplines they have compiled for those needing help around the world.
Substance Abuse Assistance
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) offers resources including a helpline (for both English and Spanish speakers) that is free and confidential and "for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders. This service provides referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations. Callers can also order free publications and other information."
National Drug Helpline has a wealth of resources for those struggling including a list of additional numbers to call beyond their network. NDH provides advice for those struggling with, or the loved ones of someone struggling with addiction, in matters of treatment options, approaching a loved one, rehab costs and payments, and more.

Episode 6 - Secrets and Scrolls Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

Danger looms for Beskey, Ashryn, and Sepia as they continue their search below the castle of the Faeforge Academy for a flying book. The grounds may be more unsafe than they suspected, and the further they go, the more the mystery of the school deepens. Is a text book about magical fungi really worth the risk?
