Contrast research findings between student A and Student B in terms of barriers. Are the recommendations feasible? student A: Below are the annual numbers for Charleston, SC suicide and homicide rates retrieved from Charlestoncounty.org. Suicide Deaths Suicide 2020 65 2021 75 2022 64 2023 5 Homicide Deaths Homicide 2020 62 2021 67 2022 53 2023 2 One organizational barrier relating to the suicide and homicide are effective evaluations of mental health during routine appointments. Nearly all suicide individuals received health care in the year prior to death (83 %), but half did not have a mental health diagnosis (Ahmedani et al, 2014). Suicide and homicide can be prevented with proper treatment. Mental health needs to be taken more serious as numbers are continuing to increase in cases. One financial barrier relating to the suicide- and homicide would be funding for preventative programs. A number of community-based programs are financially dependent on private donations or grants (Burkholder & Nash, 2013, Section 6.2). Effective education and guidance on what individuals should do if struggling with issues can help persuade better decisions. Two recommendations on ways each of these barriers can be reduced or eliminated would be questionnaires added when taking vitals for patients getting seen to hopefully get mental health services to patients sooner. Just as important as blood pressure should be their mental health status for care. For preventative program funding the State and federal government can get more involved to ensure all citizens are given equal right to educational resources. Also, can do some kind of fundraising for specific programs. One local resource available for suicide- or homicide-prone individuals are Charleston County support group services. Groups meet second and fourth Thursday of the month from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., and on the first and third Thursday of the month at 1 p.m. in West Ashley, North Charleston, and downtown Charleston. Another local resource is MUSC’s Turning the Tide Violence Intervention Program. It aims to improve the care and recovery of violently injured patients as well as prevent future violence and improve quality of life. It also supports other victims of community violence, such as assaults and stabbings, while they are in the hospital, as well as families who have suffered the loss of a loved one to gun violence. Comprehensive services are offered to patients and families who enroll in the program. I would not say these resources fully meet all the needs of the population, but are helpful and increase care to suicide and homicide prone individuals. Student B: Good evening class for my discussion since the community where I live is small I decided to do the state of New York. Statistical Data on Annual Suicide and Homicide Rates in New York Community In 2018, the suicide rate in New York City was 8.9 per 100,000 people, which is slightly above the national rate of 14.2 per 100,000 people. The homicide rate was 4.5 per 100,000 people, which is lower than the national rate of 6.0 per 100,000 people. Organizational Barrier One organizational barrier relating to the suicide- and homicide-prone is the lack of access to mental health services. This barrier is created by a lack of mental health professionals in underserved communities, as well as a lack of awareness of available mental health services. Recommendation to Reduce/Eliminate Organizational Barrier One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the number of mental health professionals in underserved communities. This could be done by providing incentives to mental health professionals to work in these areas, such as providing loan forgiveness or additional funding for mental health services in these areas. Another recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase awareness of mental health services in underserved communities. This could be done by providing education and outreach to the community about available services, as well as providing increased access to these services. Financial Barrier One financial barrier relating to the suicide- and homicide-prone is the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services. This barrier is created by the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services in many areas, as well as the high cost of mental health services. Recommendation to Reduce/Eliminate Financial Barrier One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the availability of insurance coverage for mental health services. This could be done by providing incentives to insurance companies to provide more coverage for mental health services, such as providing additional funding or tax breaks. Another recommendation to reduce this barrier is to reduce the cost of mental health services. This could be done by providing additional funding for mental health services, as well as providing incentives to mental health professionals to provide services at a lower cost. Local Resources Available for Suicide- and Homicide-Prone Individuals Two local resources available for suicide- and homicide-prone individuals in New York City are the New York City Mental Health Hotline and the New York State Office of Mental Health. The New York City Mental Health Hotline provides 24/7 access to mental health professionals and resources. Services offered by this hotline include crisis counseling, referrals to mental health services, and information about mental health resources. The New York State Office of Mental Health provides a variety of mental health services, including prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals suffering from mental illness. Services offered by this office include inpatient and outpatient services, crisis intervention, and case management. These services do meet the needs of the population, as they provide access to mental health professionals, resources, and services. However, there is still a need for additional resources and services to meet the needs of the population, such as increased access to mental health services in underserved communities. Explanation: Suicide and homicide are two of the most tragic and devastating forms of violence reported in the news daily. Individuals suffering from abuse, depression, mental disorders, or substance-abuse disorders are at an increased risk of committing suicide or homicide. Factors that contribute to this risk are age, gender, socio-economic status, and race/ethnicity. Additionally, situations that cause extreme life or job stress, such as seen when a loved one dies or military personnel, can contribute to the risk. In the New York community, the suicide rate in 2018 was 8.9 per 100,000 people, which is slightly above the national rate of 14.2 per 100,000 people. The homicide rate was 4.5 per 100,000 people, which is lower than the national rate of 6.0 per 100,000 people. It is clear that the rate of suicide and homicide in New York is a concern, and that individuals in the community are vulnerable to these forms of violence. Chapter 6 of the course text highlights barriers to care relating to the vulnerable and this population group in particular. There are both organizational and financial barriers to accessing care for individuals at risk for suicide or homicide. One organizational barrier is the lack of access to mental health services. This barrier is created by a lack of mental health professionals in underserved communities, as well as a lack of awareness of available mental health services. One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the number of mental health professionals in underserved communities. This could be done by providing incentives to mental health professionals to work in these areas, such as providing loan forgiveness or additional funding for mental health services in these areas. Another recommendation is to increase awareness of mental health services in underserved communities. This could be done by providing education and outreach to the community about available services, as well as providing increased access to these services. A financial barrier to accessing care for individuals at risk for suicide or homicide is the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services. This barrier is created by the lack of insurance coverage for mental health services in many areas, as well as the high cost of mental health services. One recommendation to reduce this barrier is to increase the availability of insurance coverage for mental health services. This could be done by providing incentives to insurance companies to provide more coverage for mental health services, such as providing additional funding or tax breaks. Another recommendation is to reduce the cost of mental health services. This could be done by providing additional funding for mental health services, as well as providing incentives to mental health professionals to provide services at a lower cost. In New York City, there are two local resources available for suicide- and homicide-prone individuals: the New York City Mental Health Hotline and the New York State Office of Mental Health. The New York City Mental Health Hotline provides 24/7 access to mental health professionals and resources. Services offered by this hotline include crisis counseling, referrals to mental health services, and information about mental health resources. The New York State Office of Mental Health provides a variety of mental health services, including prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals suffering from mental illness. Services offered by this office include inpatient and outpatient services, crisis intervention, and case management. These services do meet the needs of the population, as they provide access to mental health professionals, resources, and services. However, there is still a need for additional resources and services to meet the needs of the population, such as increased access to mental health services in underserved communities. Ultimately, it is clear that to reduce the rate of suicide and homicide in the New York community, it is necessary to address the organizational and financial barriers to accessing mental health services. This can be done by providing incentives to mental health professionals to work in underserved communities, increasing awareness of available mental health services, increasing the availability of insurance coverage for mental health services, and reducing the cost of mental health services. Additionally, it is important to increase access to mental health services in underserved communities to ensure that all individuals have access to the care they need. Reply
