2
00:00:05,340 --> 00:00:07,507
I'd like to take a moment to address a 

3
00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:09,729
few common misconceptions about suicide 

4
00:00:09,729 --> 00:00:12,160
and suicide prevention . One common 

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,300
misconception is that suicide is not 

6
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:17,460
impulsive . The fact is research shows 

7
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:19,404
that the time a person can go from 

8
00:00:19,404 --> 00:00:21,682
thinking about suicide to acting on it , 

9
00:00:21,682 --> 00:00:24,080
it can be less than 10 minutes . So 

10
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,136
putting time and distance between an 

11
00:00:26,136 --> 00:00:28,350
individual and legal means such as a 

12
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:30,970
firearm or medications , it can save a 

13
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:34,030
life . Another misconception is that if 

14
00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:36,050
you remove access to one method of 

15
00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:38,320
suicide , someone that is at risk for 

16
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,220
suicide will simply find another method 

17
00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:44,190
and we know this is very unlikely if 

18
00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:46,530
you don't already I urge that you store 

19
00:00:46,530 --> 00:00:49,410
your firearms locked and unloaded and 

20
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:52,030
away from ammunition and when it comes 

21
00:00:52,030 --> 00:00:54,150
to medications , keep limited 

22
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:56,640
quantities in your home under lock and 

23
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,160
key and discard outdated prescriptions . 

24
00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:03,980
And lastly , a critical misconception 

25
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:06,740
is that talking about suicide may lead 

26
00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:09,470
to suicide . This is simply not true . 

27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,740
We know that talking about suicide 

28
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:13,870
provides the other person the 

29
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:15,981
opportunity to express their thoughts 

30
00:01:15,981 --> 00:01:18,148
and feelings on things that they might 

31
00:01:18,148 --> 00:01:20,092
be keeping secret and gives them a 

32
00:01:20,092 --> 00:01:22,314
chance to receive support and help that 

33
00:01:22,314 --> 00:01:25,100
they need . So look out for your family , 

34
00:01:25,110 --> 00:01:27,580
your friends and your teammates don't 

35
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:29,524
be afraid to ask how they're truly 

36
00:01:29,524 --> 00:01:31,469
doing . And if they're thinking of 

37
00:01:31,469 --> 00:01:33,920
harming themselves , help them get the 

38
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,060
support they need during their life's 

39
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,530
difficult moments . Remember connect to 

40
00:01:39,530 --> 00:01:42,390
protect because support is always 

41
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:46,250
within reach . Mhm . Mhm . 

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,090
Uh huh . Yeah
