The Scudder Intervention Services Foundation, Inc. âSISFIâ, The Su***de Institute and The Su***de Center invite you to our "Pain Management Series: âExperiences of Understanding, Healing, Treatment, Recovery and Transformation from Physical and Psychological Painsâ hosted by su***de attempt survivor and our Behavioral Health and Wellness Director and Crisis Response Trainer Mr. Brett A. Scudder to address the silent and faceless enigmas of pain permeating society causing heightened and increasing addiction, agoraphobia, anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, isolation, and PTSD with meaningful and effective solutions and resources.
On Oct. 18th 2022 at 1pm EST he will be addressing the âLoneliness of Pain, Pain of Loneliness and How/Why Do We Feel Loneliness Around Loved Ones and Family Members.
When you hear talk about the opioid and mental health crises weâre seeing across the US, we need to understand the underlying factors of pain and how the use of substances and alcohol are used to suppress and manage it which often leads to overdose deaths. So many beautiful people are living in, suffering with, suffering from, and dying in pain in ways we canât imagine nor recognize often because they either mask it or have learned to numb it enough to function. So many are unable to mask or numb the pain and so they talk about it in seeking help or getting support needed. When we look at how the healthcare systems assesses, recognizes, treats, or prevents pain we, those experiencing it, are often not in agreement with the methods and must find other ways of treating and managing. We are living in and experiencing a very serious pain crisis and it needs to be talked about openly, candidly, and publicly for awareness and edification across our society. The crisis is pervasive and will take much relearning and retraining to meet people effectively and meaningfully where they are to reduce and prevent further suffering and deaths.
In 2021, 2561 acute su***de ideation cases we prevented from completion at the foundation and institute which speaks volume of the effectiveness and impacts of our work in understanding, treating, and healing physical and psychological pains. This is mainly because our President and CEO Mr. Brett A. Scudder has lived a life of pain, head injuries, near death experiences, traumas, su***de attempt and subsequent PTSD on many levels and even after going into healthcare systems for treatment was left still suffering and struggling and so he created the organizations to help, support, treat, educate, heal, and transform pain into passion, purpose, and healthier lifestyles for people. Through his experiences and extensive research on himself and people he serves every day at the organizations and our 24/7 crisis lifeline, he created our Emotional Pain Informed Care and Su***de Informed Care modalities to meet the needs effectively and train people as acute crisis responders. Thatâs what drives thousands of people tour services because of his public speaking of awareness of lived and living experiences with pain every day and many events.
The unfortunate and painful death of male celebrities has once again thrust us into many discussions about emotional pain, bullying, depression, and su***de, and again shows how much and little we are unaware of the reality many of us are living in and feeling. There are so many males, young and old, completing su***de to end their pain and suffering because weâre not understanding or have normalized conversations about it for them to feel safe opening up or have safe places to open up, share and connect. Thereâs so much to learn about the real pain, trauma and ensuing PTSD crisis of Covid-19 and the pandemic that I could go on and on about from what we have seen in over 700% in our crisis workload at SISFI and the Su***de Institute since it began that weâll be addressing with our amazing guest speakers, so join us, and be empowered and made aware of language and behaviors that could save your life or a loved one.
RSVP for the series at sisfi.eventbrite.com and join the conversation.
Our sincere gratitude to our guest speakers for accepting the invite to be vulnerable in strength of talking about their pain experiences.
Weâre looking forward to a great time together.
