On February 12, 2014 we lost a member of PEMHS family. Since 11/5/2001, Matthew Cook has touched the lives of so many PEMHS consumers. Matthew started with PEMHS as a counselor for Families First. He worked in an array of programs including BNet and Children’s Crisis. He ultimately became a therapist for our Adult CSUs in 2007 where his passion lied.

Matthew demonstrated incomparable passion for those that he served. In fact, he would selflessly assist with other programs and provide innovative ideas on expanding client services. In 2009, Matthew implemented HALOS suicide bereavement support groups on PEMHS campus. This group continues to meet bi-weekly and offers emotional support and validation for Pinellas County residents grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide.

In 2013, Matthew was instrumental in the collaboration of PEMHS and Pinellas Hope, so that Substance Abuse Crisis Intervention Services could be available Monday through Friday to Pinellas Hope residents trying to maintain sobriety during financial hardships.

Matthew recently found his true passion which involved educating future counseling professionals. He established relationships with neighboring universities and actively recruited and supervised Masters seeking counseling interns, many of which obtained employment with our agency.

Matthew also cared deeply for his coworkers. He would not hesitate to approach supervisors and provide feedback on ways to improve efficiency  of procedures in the hopes of preserving the sanity of his co-workers. As frustrating as his persistence could be to some, he was almost always right.  After recovering from his triple bypass surgery 7 months ago, he began taking steps to improve his overall health and decrease stress. He was also the happiest I remember seeing him at PEMHS.

His unexpected death from a tragic car accident left our PEMHS Family shocked and saddened. Matthew’s shoes will never be filled. But the impact he left on this agency and the lives that he changed will never be forgotten.

In special remembrance for the amazing services and time Matthew committed to helping clients with co-occurring disorders; several Board members of The Florida School of Addictions Studies established a Memorial Scholarship in his name to honor him at the Oct. Annual School in Tampa.  The scholarship will pay the tuition for a PEMHS employee to attend the School.  Matthew’s legacy will live with PEMHS forever.

National Suicide Prevention Week:  Sept 8 – 14, 2013 [1 Attachment]

Following is information about an event hosted by St. Petersburg College.  It addresses a specific risk group, please spread the word about this training.

SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING FOR FIRE SERVICE PERSONNEL

National Suicide Prevention Week is September 8 – 14 with World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10.  In conjunction with many other events to commemorate the week, the Center for Public Safety at St. Petersburg College will be sponsoring a unique training for fire and emergency personnel.  This day-long event is designed to raise awareness and develop suicide prevention strategies within the fire service.

According to the American Association of Suicidology  (http://www.suicidology.org/home) and the Center for Disease Control, 38,364 people died by suicide in our country in 2010 (the most recent national data available).  The greatest number of deaths occurred between the ages of 45 and 65.  Four times as many men died by suicide compared to females.  In Florida, suicide ranks as the 8^th leading cause of death with 2,922 suicide deaths in 2012.  Pinellas County ranks fourth in the state of Florida for suicide deaths.

While there are no government statistics on suicide death within the fire and emergency medical services, the demographics of the workforce match the risk category presented through national data.  In addition, researchers such as the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance (http://www.ffbha.org) indicate that 35 firefighters died by suicide in 2011.  Risk factors for depression and suicide are present in the nature of the work and are complicated by erratic work schedules, sleep deprivation, and relationship issues.

This training opportunity will provide participants the tools to manage the risk factors, decode communication that might indicate a call for help, identify signs of depression and suicide, develop a plan for intervention and referral, and build protective factors.

Monday, September 9; 8 am to 4 pm
St. Petersburg College
Seminole Campus 9200 113 Street North (UP-303) Seminole, FL

Partners in the training program include:  St. Petersburg Fire Department

(see “Learn the SIGNS” button above for more information)Rene Barrett HonoredRene Barrett from region 10 (Broward county) was honored on 2/13/15 at a fundraiser with the FL Initiative for Suicide Prevention (FISP) for her outstanding service in suicide prevention for the past 20 years.Rene was one of the primary founders of FISP and was the first Executive Director. With the help of her efforts, the Board of Trustees was formed with prestigious and successful individuals interested in Suicide Prevention. She raised significant amounts of money each year to help get the organization going and continues to this day to support it’s wonderful work. Although she is no longer the Executive Director, she supports FISP and conducts a support group of suicide survivors that meets on a weekly basis. She often speaks out through advocacy and letters to the editor to protest unfair actions and to support individuals who are being treated unfairly. She is also active in community organizations and causes. I would like to include the names on this tribute of people who appreciate her advocacy for the FL Initiative for Suicide Prevention.On behalf of the FSPC, please join me in congratulating Rene for her exceptional work and dedication!
