At times, one may need to step in to support someone they love dealing with an emotional struggle. It is important to discuss the best ways to not only recognize these situations, but also how one can help navigate them.  This week is National Suicide Prevention Week, an awareness strategy designed to inform people about how their actions and conversations can go a long way to save someone’s life.  On this week's episode of Credit Hour, Host Michael Ewald has a conversation with Kari Oyen, assistant professor of school psychology at USD.  They discuss how suicide can be prevented, what one can do to help people that might be struggling with mental illness, and the resources offered for students on campus.  “The best thing we can really do for someone that is really struggling with mental illness, is taking the time to listen. Know that talking with someone about suicide does not increase the chance for them to die from suicide,” Oyen said. “Talking with someone about their suicidal thoughts can be a mechanism for getting help.”   Find Credit Hour on Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, Google Play and usd.edu/podcast.

Jean Ramage

In the inaugural episode of Roots to Leaves, Kari Oyen,  Assistant Professor of School Psychology at the University of South Dakota and Central Regional Representative on NASP’s GDPR Committee, interviews Jean Ramage, a NASP legend who once served as NASP’s President and played a key role in developing the first strategic plan.

John chats with Kari Oyen, assistant professor of School psychology at the University of South Dakota and president of the South Dakota Association of School Psychologists about mental health issues in rural America and the role of school psychologists.  According to Oyen, because of the lack of resources in many rural areas, there’s a greater need for a systemized approach for dealing with pressing mental health issues in rural settings. In South Dakota, there is enormous problem with suicidal behavior, and there’s an increasing emphasis on prevention services, based on risk factors, such as single-parent homes, poverty and poor attendance. And there’s also a focus on what works in these situations, such as peer support and academic success.
