Thank you to interviewer Emily Turner from Action News Jax for speaking with our very own Nicole Davidson-Harshaw. Nicole was featured in a discussion about why su***de rates for Duval County are higher than both the state and national average.

EXPERT INSIGHTS ON RISING SU***DE RATES IN DUVAL COUNTY

"You're the expert of you, even when you don't know what to do or what tools to reach for. So we want to make sure that we're reaching out to those resources where people feel safe. More importantly, I believe as a counselor that we really need to have more training and competent staff for a diversified population."

The conversation addressed the harmful effects of socioeconomic barriers as well as the distinction often overlooked between cultural personas and actual trauma experienced within minority communities.

Thanks to The Local Station / News4JAX for speaking with our very own Lorna Wittenrich, LMHC, Director of Clinical Services at Dupont Counseling Group, about survivor’s guilt.

SURVIVING GRIEF THROUGH COUNSELING

“Everyone’s grief process is very different. No one person’s process and journey will look exactly the same.”

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and one of the most difficult things anyone can face is losing a loved one to su***de. According to the CDC, nearly 49,000 people died by su***de in 2023, and one person dies from it every 11 minutes.

Dozens of people can be directly affected by the heaviness of survivor’s guilt, wondering, “What could I have done differently?” At Dupont Counseling, our licensed therapists help clients with steps to take during the healing process.

JFCS on First Coast Connect Regarding Florida Governor's Vetoes on Minority Mental Health Programs

"Being culturally competent to yourself means taking the time to recognize when you're not okay. Being strong is one thing, but when you're not okay, it's okay to seek support. And what happens in the communities of minorities is that support is not readily available. The resources are not there."

Thank you to interviewer Anne Schindler for speaking with our very own Nicole Davidson-Harshaw. Nicole was featured in a panel discussion concerning the recent vetoes ordered by Governor DeSantis, which included hundreds of thousands of dollars earmarked for minority youth and mental health programs. These services are more urgently needed now more than ever due to the overall unaddressed trauma of systemic racism, historically deleterious acts that have fostered mistrust of the health care system among minority populations, and socioeconomic barriers within minority communities.
