does anybody have material on suicide intervention that doesn't include cops? im mostly looking for resources on how one can learn to assist directly (guides, literature, training, etc) rather than resources to help during crisis; but am open to anything right now for context i'm in montreal, canada please #boost etc

    @xyhhx@438punk.house the book Decolonising Therapy might be a good start for mental health resources that doesnt include cops. https://www.decolonizingtherapy.com/ Also look up Mariame Kaba and Shira Hassan's Saving our own Lives.

    @xyhhx I REALLY wish https://dontcallthepolice.com/ had resources that were not just by large US city , but there might be something there depending on their location

  • @xyhhx I’m taking a 2-day in-person training on this next month; if they have any decent materials I’ll report back/share.

    @xyhhx from personal experience (being the suicidal person), if it is just extreme, acute ideation/plan-making and not "literally trying to kill oneself at that exact moment", the main benefit of going to an ER seems to be being forced to wait it out in a very boring environment, ideally sans phone, for several hours. This is a huge "your mileage may vary" but simply being in the same space/watching to make sure they don't do anything may be enough and is at least better than nothing.

    @xyhhx Not sure if you’re already familiar but Mutual Aid Social Therapy? They have a presence on IG which links to a library of zines related to suicide intervention, harm reduction, safety planning, & more. All anti-carceral ♡

  • @xyhhx this is US based; however it is a coordinated effort from several organizations I & former colleagues worked alongside. Hoping it helps https://bethe1to.com/bethe1to-steps-evidence/

    @xyhhx sometimes I wonder about similar kinds of training. In this context I'm a little confused about how you're distinguishing direct and crisis intervention?
