How to Prevent Suicide in Youth: See the BORN TO STAY ALIVE Official Trailer (2020)
https://www.borntostayalive.com One Damaged Dame Productions Presents “Born to Stay Alive” a Short-Documentary film Directed by Adriana Dushaj. The film follows the lives of five people who have struggled with depression and have attempted suicide in their life. The film also includes a riveting fictional tale that plays in between the Documentary written by Adriana Dushaj as well. Our hope is to help others who are struggling with suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you know needs help today, you can find help at the Crisis Text Line and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
Mike Veny is one of the people featured in this documentary. He is on a lifelong mission to discover how to prevent suicide in youth. Teen suicide is on the rise in this country and something needs to be done to proactively address suicidal thoughts. This issue is very personal for Mike who attempted to die by suicide at age 10.
As a national mental health speaker and the author of the book, Transforming Stigma: How to Become a Mental Wellness Superhero, Mike believes that success in suicide prevention is dependent on:
* Addressing DEPRESSION – Trauma and grieving significantly contribute to depression. Learning to process trauma and grieving is an art that’s unique to every person. When done consistently and effectively, depression doesn’t rule your life.
* Addressing SUICIDAL THOUGHTS – People are often afraid of suicidal thoughts AND afraid to share their suicidal thoughts with someone else. Once you share them in a safe space, they don’t rule your life anymore. You take the power back.
* Addressing MENTAL HEALTH – The subject of “mental health” has an interesting paradox. In one sense, people want to learn more about it than ever before. In another sense, it’s taboo to talk about it. It’s critical that our society normalizes the “mental health” conversation.

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY what I think is contributing to the mental health challenges facing teenagers (and adults) that many people are overlooking.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you a practical step you can take to improve your mental health that is so easy ANYONE can do it.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
The statistics are being discussed all over the place. The number of teens dealing with mental health challenges is continuing to rise. There is talk about bullying and suicide and people are searching for an answer. There are plenty of theories out there in the world including too much time on the phone and social media. But I have my own theory—it all started with air conditioning.
We live comfortable lives with many conveniences, like air conditioning that made it possible for us to not need to go outside of our homes even during hot summer months. Before that happened it was hot inside, which pushed people outside where they came face-to-face with neighbors and friends. Now cell phone use allows us to go about our lives without really connecting with other people face-to-face. We have our friendships over social media and the number of people working from home is increasing.
And it’s not just in our homes. Even when we are with people we aren’t looking at them and conversing with them. Cell phone use at school and cell phone use at work is stealing away the time when we should be having these face-to-face connections. How many times have you been at a restaurant and noticed groups sitting at the table together but everyone was looking down at a phone? It’s an epidemic that we need to change so we can improve our mental health awareness.
In short, this video will show you an actionable way to control cell phone use and connect with others to improve mental health in 2019.

http://www.TransformingStigma.com In this video, mental health speaker, Mike Veny, shares the story of how he met his personal trainer and nutritionist, Maik Wiedenbach. Maik has worked with him to develop a healthier lifestyle. Mike now has an exercise program and nutrition program that are both customized to the needs of his mental illness.
As a person living with mental illness, Mike Veny knows about the connection between mental health and physical health. In order to keep himself stable, Mike has routines, systems, checklists, and appointments that have forced him to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
To help with his depression, Mike takes coconut oil and fish oil in the morning. In addition, he makes it a point to exercise and get sunlight for at least a half an hour each day. As a mental health speaker, Mike is constantly on the road speaking at conferences and events around the world. Therefore, it’s imperative that he takes care of himself.
Mike Veny truly believes that connection between mental health and physical health is clear. However, focusing on your physical health alone isn’t part of a complete recovery. It’s important to constantly seek out professional help, too.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The WHO states that “there is no health without mental health.”
The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Ontario branch is leading in this area with two programs that target the connection between mental health and physical health.
Minding Our Bodies – a program aimed at promoting consistent exercise, sound nutrition, and health lifestyle decisions.
Diabetes and Mental Health Peer Support – program that supports people who have Diabetes and serious mental illness.
