SISFI's National Su***de Prevention Month Events - September 2025

Greetings, beautiful people,

How are You?

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, and we recognize it yearly with educational awareness events for all audiences here at the Scudder Intervention Services Foundation Inc. This year is no different and here is our lineup of virtual events that we look forward to having You with us as our President, CEO, and Su***de Attempt Survivor, Motivational Speaker, Behavioral Health and Wellness Connoisseur, and Crises Response Director/Trainer Mr. Brett A. Scudder and his guests present invaluable knowledge and wisdom on these very important and sensitive topics. Flyers attached for each. No registration needed. Join via related links.

Sept. 2nd, 1pm-2:30pm – “20 Basic Critical Non-Clinical Life Experiences and Reasons Males Think, Attempt, and Complete Su***de Than Females”. The challenges of males aren’t just talking points; they are hard realities experienced every day in places and ways we hardly imagine or think of. The subtle awakening of a new day comes with so many basic needs that when unmet, leads to chaos, madness, insanity, and unsettling emotions that triggers behaviors in many ways. Here are twenty critical life experiences males face every single day that are not clinical but adds or leads to physical and psychological health and wellness and societal construct challenges. Join us here https://bit.ly/45T7ADu for this interactive and engaging presentation and conversation. Looking forward to having You with us. Please share attached flyer with your networks.

Sept. 4th, 11am-12pm, Conversation About S*xual Abuse and Trauma, and Its Impacts on The Health, Safety, Sanity, and Wellness of Victims and Survivors with my guest Ms. Ginger Reed, Advocate and Survivor. Join here https://bit.ly/4fWAgjv as we talk about her experience and how it led to her suicidality. Too often we don’t understand how deeply traumatic s*xual assault is and the deep psychological impacts it has on victims. It will be a great interview, and I invite You to join and listen and support her in her efforts to pass legislation in her state for reforms. Please share attached flyer with your networks.

Sept. 5th, 1pm-2:30pm Loneliness of Pain, Pain of Loneliness: How/Why Do We Feel Loneliness Around Loved Ones and Family Members. A deep look into the heart, mind, soul, and consciousness of people who suffer with deep loneliness while surrounded by family, loved ones, friends, coworkers, and church members. Join here https://bit.ly/4mZaHk6 and share invite and attached flyer with your networks so other can learn about it and join to learn.

Sept. 10th, 11am-1pm - World Su***de Prevention Day: “Standing Together in Pain, Healing, and Support” virtual event. This year we’re not hosting a physical event as we choose to join our partners globally in a virtual setting where we can all support each other in our respective countries. This year I have been invited to three global initiatives to head up Emotional Wellness and Healthy Lifestyles and elated at how they will magnify my reach and the knowledge and wisdom I carry. So, join us here https://bit.ly/3Vg7ild for this moment of togetherness standing with people who are living with pain and suicidality or lost loved ones to su***de. We are all in a healing and recovery state from something and need to know and understand we are not alone unless we want to be.

Sept. 12th, 1pm-2:30pm - Pain Chronicles: I Never Found, Had, or Knew Peace and Sanity Until I Met Su***de and Embraced Death as An End to My Pain and Suffering” A look at su***de and suicidality through the lens of peace and sanity that transformed chronic and debilitating pain into purposeful life and living happier and healthier with suicidality. We often think of suicidality as a deficit in a person’s ability to manage their pain and suffering or heal from the trauma that caused them to be in pain, but we need to understand that sanity is more important than safety for someone experiencing chronic pain and suffering and how they see life, happiness, and peace in their suicidal mind. Join here https://bit.ly/41tNr5D and share with your networks.

Sept. 15th, 1pm-2:30pm - Parenting Chronicles: “Psychological Impacts of Technology and Social Media on Children/Youth Cognitive, Physical, and Psychological Health and Wellness.” In a time where technology, social media, AI, and the unfettered access to data and media are growing exponentially, there’s never a greater and more important time for parents to get very active and vigilant about the access and use of technology and social media in children, youth, and young adults. Join us here https://bit.ly/45RTH8H for this interactive and engaging presentation on the topic and what parents must do to safeguard themselves and their children immediately. Please share with your networks.

Sept. 22nd, 1pm-2:30pm - Understanding Behaviors and Language of Debilitating Pain and Its Impacts on Cognitive, Physical, and Psychological Wellness” With a better understanding of how people experience and think of the aches and pain of their pain, we will be better and more effectively be able to treat and support them. Pain presents itself in various ways that often are misconstrued, misunderstood, and overlooked and we will talk about these language and behaviors that can help us recognize someone in deep crises and on the ledge of self-harm. Join us here https://bit.ly/4n3d4Tb for this interactive presentation and discussion and share with your networks.

Sept. 24th, 1pm-2:30pm - Pain Linguistics: “How Males Experience, Present, Process, Treat, and Talk About Their Pain Struggles and Suffering.” Pain is a language best spoken and understood by person experiencing it even when they may not be making sense of it and is incoherent, it’s still an experience of great discomfort and unsettling emotions. After twenty-five years of working with males of all ages and experiences with trauma that led to their pain, I understood quite clearly that males present and talk about their pain in a language not taught; but lived, and from those years and my own experiences with near death traumas and broken heart I too know and understand how hard it is and will be for males to be authentic and transparent in our pain and suffering. Join us here https://bit.ly/47gBcxc for this interactive presentation and discussion that will open your mind and give You a greater appreciation for hearing or helping males express their pain and suffering.

Sept. 26th, 1pm-2:30pm - Emotional Males Chronicles: “Nurturing True Strength, Healing and Wellness from Understanding, Accountability, and Transparency of Emotions, Pain, Loneliness, Trauma, and Vulnerabilities.” How often are males told they are too emotional, too sensitive, too dramatic, or too numb. How often do males have an opportunity to speak their truth authentically and transparently to their loved ones. The Emotional Male is a stigmatized person who is forced to shut in and shut down their emotions as a sign of weakness and femininity rather than strength, healing, and wellness. Join us here https://bit.ly/4p974u6 for this interactive presentation and discussion about the Emotional Male and the power and strength that comes from their pain and vulnerabilities.

Sept. 30th, 1pm-2:30pm – “Where Do Abused, Broken, and Hurting Males Go for Help and Support, and Ways Society Add To Their Pain, Suffering, and Trauma.” Are there safe places and spaces for males to get help and support for their brokenness and how and where can we create and sustain those needed places and space for males to go and connect with other males for their healing, recovery, and support. Join us here https://bit.ly/3UNQstT for this interactive presentation and discussion on how and where we can create safer communities that host safe places and spaces for males to heal their brokenness.

Please share these events with your networks so more people can be aware and join in the knowledge and wisdom being shared. Let me know if You have any questions about them or challenges accessing the events.

Here's another unreal and unfathomable example of how society perpetuates the traumatization and victimization of males and the bias and prejudice in the judicial system 🫢😲 Mr. Brett A. Scudder shares his unfortunate betrayal from his partner who escalated her infidelity by falsely accusing him and removing him from their home with restraining order 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😲😭💔 No matter what males do, we are always seen as the abuser or victimized by the social construct, and we must change this reality so everyone can be treated accordingly and fairly.

We are so sorry You had to experience this madness and insanity Mr. Brett A. Scudder in the injustice system and praying for better outcome in your efforts to reform the system to be fairer and punish those who break the law in an effort to retraumatize and revictimize those who they hurt and victimized. We stand in support and ready to fight this battle with You for all victims and survivors of abuse.

Invite: Virtual NYC Behavioral Health and Wellness Providers Resource Fair, Aug. 19th, 1pm-3pm

Good day, beautiful people,

How are You?

On Aug. 19th, 1pm-3pm we are hosting our virtual NYC Behavioral Health and Wellness Providers and Services Resource Fair to raise awareness of what services, and which providers are still available and accessible in the city. We have a lot of people contacting us about challenges connecting with and hearing back from providers, so we are asking all wellness providers, especially those specializing in suicidality, to join and share your work and availability for everyone to hear, know, and engage with You. Each provider will be given time to present their resources and services and take questions from attendees on them. This way real-time connections are made to help those in need.

Please share event and attached flyer with your networks so more people can be aware and join the effort here https://bit.ly/3Jc0ken.

Contact Mr. Brett A. Scudder with any questions.

Greetings, beautiful people, how are You?
After a fourteen months hiatus, I’m back and doing major restructuring of my organizations, the Scudder Intervention Services Foundation Inc, The Su***de Institute, and The Su***de Center and our services and need your help. For the past twenty-five years I have been providing behavioral health and wellness, crises response, pain management, and suicidality awareness, intervention, prevention, and postvention and there’s nothing more powerful and valuable to any business than customer reviews. If my work has ever touched your heart, mind, body, soul, spirit, and life, I’m asking for a few minutes to write a review about it and share with your followers and friend letting them know. Over the coming weeks I’ll be making restructuring announcements as we take our work to higher levels. I truly Apprecilove your support as it helps to inspire and motivate me.

Important awareness about and its effects on our healthy lifestyle and wellness from our President/CEO/Health Connoisseur Mr. Brett A. Scudder. Please share so others can benefit from it. Thank You.

For those who needed to hear, know, and understand , it's ok to grieve and mourn. It's one of the most highly misunderstood, overlooked, yet important part of holistic healthy wellness.

Grieving is a natural process of life that no matter what happens to cause us hurt, pain, and sorrow, there is Grief. It’s inevitable, unexpected, and unplanned. There isn’t a wrong or right way to grieve. Everyone grieves differently whether in public or private. You don’t need anyone’s permission or validation to grieve. Never be afraid or ashamed to grieve because keeping the heavy weight of hurt, pain, and sorrow inside can cause toxic energy and make You sick. Mourn, it’s OK.

So, let's break down misunderstanding, myths, and stigmas of grief and how critically important grieving is to our holistic health and wellness and stop bottling up the painful emotions inside. Grieving is a natural, normal, and very essential part of our holistic health that cannot and must not be shunned or overlooked. We all experience things that cause us hurt, pain, sorrow, and suffering and the only way to process the energy and release the weight and pain is through grieving. If you're hurting, don't be afraid or ashamed to grieve in private or public and don't allow anyone to tell You how and when to grieve because we all grieve differently. There's no expiration date on grief and grieving.

Some people will laugh hysterically in how they grieve. Some will be numb and feel no emotion in how they grieve. Some will cry, holler, scream, and wail in how they grieve. Some don't even know what they are feeling because it hurts so bad and so they can't even show any emotion or act of grieving and so they grieve internally unbeknownst that they are grieving. Males grieve differently from females, boys grieve differently from men, girls grieve differently from women, and so many factors that affects our process of grieving.

It's been twenty-six years since my first Queen, my mother died, and I'm still grieving. Every day, every birthday, every Mother's Day, every Christmas, and every beautiful memory of her feels a little lighter every day and every year as I slowly let go of the pain of loss and embrace deeper the precious memories and life skills she taught my Brother Kiffa and I. We both grieve her differently, and it's OK. Yes, it's OK.

So, now that You know and understand how complex grief can be, give yourself permission to grieve, and let the critical process of cleansing, healing, release, and recovery begin.

Our Story

SISFI was formed from Mr. Brett A. Scudder’s lived experiences with these human conditions and needs after one of his su***de attempts in 2005 when he saw that there needed to be a better and different approach to serving people with humane, emotional and behavioral health services. He then decided to dedicate his life fulltime to helping people prevent and manage emotional pain, crisis, addiction, depression, loneliness, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ‘PTSD’, su***de and trauma. He travels across the US to facilitate trainings for individuals, organizations and business on how to identify, understand and speak the language of emotional Pain and depression to help people connect with those who are suffering, struggling and hurting to prevent su***de ideations and completions. His work is highly respected, recognized and sought after in the field of su***de prevention. He constantly reminds us that we never know who is hurting, struggling and suffering and needs empathy, patience and understanding to connect on an emotional humane level.

We are truly humbled and honored by his openness and willingness to be vulnerable and transparent and creating this organization to be a change needed in our society today as more people are losing themselves to emotional pain causing mental health and emotional wellness challenges. Support our work and efforts to address su***de as a public health crisis where we are all impacted and affected directly and indirectly and need to be the Love we need for our own crisis and despair.
