We have wanted to know that society prevention is observed every year on September 10 to raise awareness about suicide prevention, foster understanding of suicide, and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues.
Mental Health Awareness and Traditions
So at the University of Lagos, Stan UNILAg, we have made it a tradition to organize events that inform and empower students on matters related to mental health. This year's team is changing the narrative. We are starting the conversation like we are having right now. We are emphasizing the importance of open dialogue about mental health and suicide. We are challenging the stigma, and we are promoting understanding as students. We are on holiday, but now we are meeting on Twitter to have a conversation about it. So welcome, everyone once again to our society prevention talk 2024. You.
Panel Introductions
Hello, Tosin. I'm going to hand over to you now. Hi. Morning. Yes, we can. To sing. I can't hear you. Can everyone hear Tosin? Yes, we can hear you, Theresa. Please go on. Sorry, jola, can you repeat what you said? I didn't get you. You said something just now. I welcomed everyone to and also describe what we are going to be doing and what are going to be talking about today. So, yeah, I'm handing over to you so that we can start our program fully. Okay. Hello, everyone. My name is Tusin, and welcome to World Suicide Prevention Day 2024. And we have two speakers here today who are Tobias, that's Enyola, and Umi, and they'll be the one speaking on some questions that we'll have for them today.
Speaker Introductions
Hi, Enola Ayomi. Hello. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Can you introduce yourselves, please? Okay, sorry. Yes, yes, we can hear you. Yes, we can hear you. So would I first and introduce himself to all of us. Okay, thank you very much. Samuel has done, like, the bulk of it introducing us, but just to go back to what he has said, my name is Enyola Odulano, and I am a, well, I would say a recent graduate of psychology in University of Lagos and also the outgoing president of Stan in the University of Lagos as well. And, yes, that's basically like the summary of it all. Thank you.
Further Introductions
All right. Thank you very much. And then we have. Can you say hi to everyone? Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you can hear me playing. Yes. So, my name is Wumi Okewumi, and like Samuel had rightly introduced us. I'm a recent graduate of psychology from University of Lagos, a mental health enthusiast and also a digital marketer and content creator. And it's nice to be here. Okay, thank you so much, me. And thank you so much. Okay, so we'll be starting the panel session right now. Can anyone hear me? Please, can everyone hear me? Just want to be sure. Yes, I can hear you.
Panel Questions
Okay, so the first question that we'll be asking, and this question goes to both Enyola and so we're talking about breaking the silence. How can we break the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide? Let me take the question again. Okay, we're talking about breaking the silence. How can we break the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide? Did you get my question. First off? Okay. Hello? Can anyone hear me? Hello? Yes, Doshi, we can't hear you. I think there's a little bit of a connection problem with the speakers, but I hope that gets before they come back. So, from your question you were asking, I think Umi is back on. So. Yeah.
Understanding Stigma
I. Yes, we can. All right, so, you said your question was, how can we break the stigma around suicide and mental health? Right? Okay, so just like this. Yes. Theme for waterside prevention. This, says. It says, changing the narrative, which means having conversations around it. I strongly believe that one way to break the stigma around mental health and suicide prevention is having the conversation, making people get comfortable. We're talking about it. Talking about it, like, having the conversations with your friends online, offline, making it easy for people to converse about it, and, you know, putting more campaigns out there, putting more awareness out there, making people understand.
Creating Awareness
Can people still hear me? Yes. Yes, we can. So, encouraging people to have these conversations, encouraging people to talk about their feelings, talk about their emotions, and teaching them the right way to actually express their feelings. And most especially around suicide. Suicide is, like, a very sensitive topic. It's a very sensitive. Like, it's not just about talking about it. You also have to know how to talk about it online or with your friends, because it's actually a very sensitive topic. So you need to be well grounded, you need to be well aware before you can start having this conversation. So I feel like one way we can, break the stigma around mental health or having or suicide is first creating awareness.
Further Discussion on Stigma Reduction
And how do we create awareness? Talking about it, encouraging people to talk about it. Okay, thank you so much, Rumi. Is Tobias here? Yes, I'm here. Thank you very much. Sorry that I was a bit off. So, to buttress more on what Mia said, they are actually several ways in which you can break the stigma that is surrounding mental health and suicide in general. And one way, as you mentioned is creating awareness and how do we do that? We can probably, like, have workshops, seminars, and, like, basically what we're doing right now is one way in which we can bring the stigma around suicide.
Sharing Personal Stories
Another way would be to share our personal stories and experiences. So because there are lots of, like, misconceptions about suicide, and suicide is more or less like a taboo word in Nigeria, so to say. And people would feel like maybe people don't really go through suicidal thoughts or ideation and stuff like that. But if we have people that are ready to share their personal stories and the experiences that they've had probably dealing with suicide and how they overcame it or ways in which they were able to, you know, just reduce their suicidal ideation, more people will be able to relate with it and then doesn't seem as much as a taboo topic anymore. And another one would be like, accurate media representation.
Media Representation and Action Steps
So instead of seeing suicide as something that is forbidden, that cannot be spoken about, how about represents it better in media? And then we just promote accurates and respectful portrayals of mental health and suicide going through all of these things, and it doesn't mean that they are abnormal or it doesn't mean that they are totally different from others. It just means that people deal with things in different ways, and then we just portray it in the right way and, like, educate people about it. And there are also some personal actions that we can take in order to reduce stigma. And that could include sharing your own story, if you're comfortable, and you could listen to people and support others.
Active Listening and Language
So you want to partake in active listening. So to say that when someone is dealing with something and then they come to you're willing to give them that listening ear and support them whenever. And also you want to challenge stigmatizing language and behaviors that one major highlight of it is saying that, oh, this person committed suicide. So it's not committed suicide, just so this person died by suicide or this person took their life. So you want to change your language in order to be more. Just diversify your language and make it more accepting. Yeah. So that's basically it. There are other ways as well for, you know, time.
Concluding Remarks
Okay, thank you so much. Thank you so much. You really mentioned some key points about how we can break the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide. For people just joining us, we are talking about words World Suicide Prevention day. And that's that. We just have, we just had our two speakers talk about a particular question, which was, how can we break the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide? And they mentioned some key points UMI mentioned creating awareness and talking about learning how to talk about it. I'm not just saying I'll talk about what you are going. Learning how people, learning how to people, learning the right words to use to these people to say to these people.
Common Misconceptions about Suicide
Okay, yeah. Yes. Yeah. My question then I now ask that challenging myths, you know, what are the common misconceptions about suicide? Okay, so I feel like currently, now, people have this belief that it is not christianly for you to take your own life. There's this religious belief that if you take your own life or if you try to take your own life, you are going to go to hellfire. There's this judgment that people have against people that want to take their attempts to even take their own life. Also, people believe that people that try to take their own life, they are selfish. They are there. They don't care about the people that love them. They just want to go. They don't think about the people that have labored for them. They don't think about the people that are leaving behind. They're just very selfish. They also believe that it's only people that are crazy or psycho in their own terms, that try to take their own lives and they beat some.
Stigma and Misunderstanding Surrounding Suicide
Some people believe that people that try to take their own life should be severely punished, that they deserve to actually go to jail, to be exempted or isolated from the society where people. Where other people stay. So those are some common misconceptions around suicide. Thank you very much for that, Mumi. Yes, those are the common misconceptions around society. You really. You really let us know that very much. And especially on your definition of stigma. Amazing. Amazing. Now I'm going to direct the same question at Enyola. Any other is we want you to give us your understanding of stigma and what are the common misconceptions that people have about suicide? Over to you, Enola. Okay, thank you very much, Jola. Mumia said a lot, to be honest. And so stigma basically is negative beliefs or attitudes that often happens when people do not understand the complexity of suicide. Simply put, it's basically those beliefs that we have about suicide because we don't fully understand suicide like I said, priority.
Impact of Cultural Norms on Suicide Perception
Now, suicide is kind of like a taboo topic in Nigeria. So because people do not understand suicide, of course they're going to have negative attitudes and negative beliefs. And once you have thoughts about something, your behavior is going to show it. So stigma can be both when it comes to, like, your thoughts and also your actions towards probably the topic of suicide or suicide in general. I mean, in Nigeria, suicide is still very much criminalized. And when someone that tries to take their life is probably saved or stopped from doing that, they have they could be jailed for that. Just having the thought of suicide alone, person could get jailed. I mean, I saw a video of someone that was trying to jump from a bridge, I think, in Ajah or something.
Consequences of Seeking Help
And then the person was actually rescued. But after this person was rescued, people started beating this person. And it was very funny to see it because even the comment section, people are like, you won't leave us for this economy. They go, they go beat you, this one, that one. Like, it just feels very weird knowing that you're in need of help. People will try to help you, but after helping you, they're going to punish you. Just like the normal thing that happens when you're younger and then probably you're playing and then you fall down and your mom was like, oh, I told you to stop playing. After that, she beats you. So that's just how it is. Instead of you to offer help to someone, instead you stigmatize them.
Different Misconceptions about Suicide
So what are, like some common misconceptions that people would have about suicide? Like Komi said earlier, I, people believe that someone that tries to commit, that tries to take their life by suicide is selfish, but that is actually not true because the person is trying to like, escape this emotional pain that seems very unbearable. So it's not a matter of being selfish, it's just a matter of not knowing what to do in that particular moment or just trying to do anything at all in order to escape that particular emotional distress that they are feeling. And another one would be that people who attempt suicide are weak. That's another misconception, that for you to want to try to take your life, it means that you're a very weak person.
Resilience in Difficult Times
It means that you probably are not even trying enough to continue living. And that is actually not true, because for someone to get to that breaking point whereby they not only consider taking their lives, but actually try to do it means that they've probably been enduring for a really long time and they can't anymore, and they're just looking for a way out. So people that try to take their lives by suicide are actually resilient, because for them to live for that long before actually attempting suicide, it's a lot, to be honest, and I think another one would be suicidal. People want to die a lot of the time. It's not that people that have the suicidal thoughts actually want to die. It's not that.
Seeking Escape from Emotional Pain
It just seems that. It just seems as though they want to escape this pain and death seems to be the only way out. They probably tried everything, tried talking to people, they've tried just roughing it out or toughing it out, and it's not working. At that point, what option is left taking their lives. So it's not like they want to die perceived. They're just looking for a way to escape emotional pain. So there are several other misconceptions that people have about suicide. But of course, you can't take everything. So I'll just rest there for now. Thank you very much, Enyola. That was very insightful. Yes, I totally agree with your common misconceptions about suicide very much.
Important Insights on Mental Health Awareness
They are not weak. It's not, it's. It takes a lot for you to have gone through so much of emotional stress and then decide that. I think it's just best to hand it so we need to be passionate towards people at all times. And that's take us to our next question, which is still directed at Enyola, on which will be professional help. We all know that in this part of the world where we are, especially in Nigeria, everybody's in Nigeria, it's professional help is not discussed very much. So we want any other to be able to tell us what strategies can help individuals assess mental health support. Okay, thank you, Johanni.
Strategies to Access Mental Health Support
So by strategies that can help individuals access mental health, I believe we're trying to talk about ways in which we can go about making it easier for people to get access to mental health support. And it starts from us, so to say, as advocates for mental health, if we want to make it easier for other people that are not really aware or fully educated about mental health or getting mental support, one way is word of mouth telling people that, okay, these are the resources that are available, this and that, using our social media platforms. So to say that's just posting online that, okay, if you're going through this particular distress, these are the resources that are available for you.
Utilizing Resources for Mental Health Awareness
These are some mental health NGO's that you can go to for help. This is, you know, this is that these are the things that are put in place in order for you to seek help whenever you need it. And another way would be creating support groups. So knowing that, okay, there are people that I can relate with that are probably going through this thing that I'm going through, or that I've gone through it at some point in their lives, people coming together to talk about this shared experience, this shared lived experience in the form of support groups is really helpful for people to want to open up about what their goal is.
Hotlines and Counseling Services
And in these support groups, they can get the help that they need mentally. And if they feel like, okay, this seems like something that you probably need to seek further help because we cannot help you, or this is the extent to which they can help you, then they can do, like, the referrals and, you know, just probably refer them to other mental health clinics. Another one would be like, probably setting up hotlines. I know money, for example, has hotlines for when someone is trying to. When someone is considering suicide or when someone is going through mental health crisis.
Accessibility and Awareness of Mental Health Services
So there are several hotlines that are available for people to, you know, seek mental health. These things are online. You know, I mean, it's virtual. You don't have to go there in person. So if they are probably feeling like, okay, if I should show up in person, I'll probably get stigmatized considering how the topic is calling someone over the phone and calling, like, a crisis hotline, and then, you know, communicating with them, sharing your fears and all of that, and whatever it is that you're going through is going to be very helpful. And also, I believe that there are counseling services in, like, several schools.
Promoting Awareness on Counseling Services
Unilaga has its own counseling center. Other schools and institutions have theirs as well. So creating awareness on the availability and accessibility of these counseling services in the school can also be a helpful strategy for people to gain access to mental health supports. Thank you. Thank you very much for that wonderful answer in your last. Because, as you said, money has outlines for people going through crisis. I remember on September 10 on what society, the data commenced day itself.
The Importance of Raising Awareness
I searched on TikTok. Suicide songs immediately brought out money hotlines, and, you know, ways for you that you can seek help. That's amazing. Nobody is tweeting. We need you to tweet. If anything that he and our speakers have said that resonates with you, please tweet, tweet. I tweet. We need you to tweet as much as possible. So we're going on to our next question. And this next question is directed at Wumi. Umi, are you still with us? Yes. Hello. Umi, are you still with us?
Engagement and Interaction on Digital Platforms
Yes, I am. Thank you very. Thank you very much. The next question is going to be directed at you. And it is digital platforms, of course. How can technology be used to promote mental health awareness? We know that money is amazing. If you go online and, you know, search for any mental health awareness platform you need, money is one of the first person that comes to you. So how can technology be used to promote mental health awareness? Okay, thank you very much for that question. So there are several ways that you can utilize digital platforms to actually promote awareness around mental health.
Utilizing Technology for Mental Health Awareness
In a digital age, almost everything we do happens online. So I feel like it's even one of the best ways to actually promote awareness around mental health. And Enila has mentioned some while he was speaking, some of which are online media and social media campaigns. Online support groups. I think at money, we have support groups like Mannequin and Manny volunteer. Even this stand community is actually support group because they are bringing together like minded individuals.
Importance of Webinars and Online Resources
We also have webinars and virtual events, just like we're doing. This type of space, this Twitter space is a form of creating awareness around suicide prevention. And so joining in can actually help you learn one or two things that you didn't know before about mental health and suicide prevention. And that is a way of actually creating awareness. Also putting out online resources like money does. Most of the times, money posts, they make different posts around different mental health challenges and how to navigate them, what to do when you experience certain things, what to do when you come across certain things, how to communicate using the right languages around certain things.
Social Media as a Tool for Education
So I feel like that's one way, one active way that you can use digital platform to actually create awareness, carrying out social media campaigns. I mean, some people randomly do it. They just post, they post, what's it called? They post some quotes and some facts from who and other reputable mental health organizations and put it on their story. And that way one or two persons see it and learn something, you ask a few questions and they learn something new. So I feel like basically there are several ways, online support groups, group chats, that brings together like minded individuals to discuss or talk about mental health and educate themselves.
Accessing Information in the Digital Age
So with this age, even Google right now can actually give you more information or any information you need to know around mental health. Yeah. So thank you. Thank you very much. Really did justice to that question. And just as it goes a long way to say that we all have a hand to play in promoting mental health awareness. As we are whole year. We can start by making the group chat first, be more attentive to our friends that want to talk to us. I know I'm part of the movement, too.
Engaging the Community for Mental Health Awareness
Mental health awareness videos online. And one way or the other, I know I'm reaching one or two people out there. So we need you to keep tweeting. You can ask question, you can tweet about a question. And the person that has another, we have a giveaway person with the highest reactions on their tweets about this space gets something, though. We soon ask questions. And then would I. That also comes with gift, of course. So please keep tweeting what you. What you're learning.
The Importance of Sharing Information
Share this conversation with somebody. Share the link on your status. Let people join in. Let people join in. Thank you all very much for listening. Thank you for staying on the call. We still have so much more to discuss, you see, I have so much more to discuss. Very much so. there's been much my notice that Enyola said something that we all need to be cautious about and correct and which is commit suicide.
Changing the Narrative around Suicide
Well, as we all know, these are the. Some of the common misconceptions. We can say it's some of the common misconceptions, because committing suicide, we say, sounds like a crime, and we don't want it to sound like a crime. So let's. We are here all to change the narrative and everything like that. So let's go on to the next question, which is directed at Enyola. And the question is, what contributes to resilience and recovery from mental health challenges? Anyola, over to you.
Understanding Resilience in Mental Health
Okay, thank you very much. So the question is, I believe, what contributes to resilience? Right? Yes. Okay. There are several ways people can count. Sorry. And, like, I'm just confirming your question. Okay. Okay. You can go ahead, please. I'm saying. Oh. The question is, what contributes to resilience and recovery from mental health challenges? Okay, so there are several things that can contribute to someone during resilience and then recovering from mental health struggles.
Support Systems and Resilience
One would be, like I mentioned earlier, support groups. Support groups, knowing that there are people out there that share similar experiences with you, and not only did they share these similar experiences, but they've also been able to overcome these mental struggles at least once in their lives. It can give you a. A certain sense of strength in the sense that you know that. Okay. One, I'm not alone. And another thing is, this, too shall pass.
Learning from Shared Experiences
Meaning that if these people can have the strength to be able to overcome these struggles that I'm currently going through, it means that I can also have the strength either on my own or pulling strength from them and what they have to say about it and the support that they give to you. So that is one way in which you can build resilience and also recover from mental health. Another one would be social support. This role of social supports, when it comes to building resilience, is usually understated, so to say, when it comes to recovering from mental health struggles.
The Importance of Open Communication
And what do I mean by social supports or your support systems? Support system is basically people that you can rely upon whenever you're going through something. And this could be your friends, family members, or significant other being probably like a partner or something. So knowing that, okay, whenever I'm going through something, whenever I'm feeling distressed, whenever you know something is just not going right in my life, I have people that I can rely upon.
Support Systems in Times of Distress
Knowing that, okay, I probably. Maybe there was something that you were expecting, but you were not able to get it, or you sat way for an exam and did not pass. Of course, that's very distressing. But knowing that, okay, I can talk to someone about this thing that I'm currently feeling, is a way in which you can build resilience. And another one would being open about your experiences. That is, when you're able to.
Seeking Help and Resources
When you're willing to actually speak up, willing to seek the help that is needed, willingness to seek out resources that can help you to overcome the particular mental distress that you're feeling. So when one thing is change starts from within, that is what I would say, because people can try as much as possible to make you feel better and all of that. But if you're not willing to actually make that change, if you're not willing to actually put in the work, whatever it is, whatever effort that they are putting into it is more or less vain.
The Role of Personal Effort in Well-being
So you have to be able to be open to these new experiences, open to seeking resources, open to seeking out help, open to sharing your experience, open to seeking mental support, probably from a counselor, a therapist, or any professional. That is another way in which you can build resilience and also overcome the mental struggles that you're currently feeling. Thank you. Thank you very much. Enyola.
Final Reflections on Mental Health Awareness
You have to be willing to put in the work to make sure that your mental health is great. You are in good shape, times six social groups. That's some of the key takeaways I took from what Enola said. You can't. Sweet. Please. I just gave some sweets takeaways from what Enyola just said. So please, you can sweet. You can't sweet. So I would.
The Importance of Role Models
The next question would be going to Wumi, and it is going to. Our question is on role models and representations. We all know that at some points, we need to have role models. In fact, we, from childhood to now, we grown on, you know, modeling what other people have done, what our parents have taught us, and so much more. So the question is, how can role models inspire others to seek help? Mumi, over to you.
Role Models as Inspirations
Thank you very much for that question. So, like you said, role models play a huge role in the society currently, because as you can see, most people are, they just like to find one person and look up to that person and say, okay, I think I want to do things the way this person like to relate to people that are shared similar experiences. So someone that has passed you, what they want to pass you, or where they are going, they have, like, similar goals aligned. People look for. Want to find someone in that space that they can say, okay, this person is a musician and he's successful. Me, I'm planning to go into the music industry. I look up to this particular person. I want to follow this particular person. So role models are actually very important, and they can help to inspire other people to seek help.
How to Be a Good Role Model
And how can they help? How can we first of all, be good role models for people who are looking to seek help in around mental health? I think it's basically you sharing your personal struggles and recovery stories in a way that can inspire other people. So if you've had a mental health, you've had, you've gone through a mental health journey at any point in your life, sharing it online, posting it on your WhatsApp, it was telling people how you were able to navigate that part of your life, that phase in your life. I mean, if, like, you're a popular Twitter influencer and you share your journey on how you've been able to probably, once upon a time, manage anxiety at some point. I mean, people can relate to people that follow you and look up to you, can see that post and be encouraged. They probably might be going through a session, an episode, or that same phase in their life. And seeing that tweet alone can encourage them to either seek help or speak up about it, talk to their friends about it, or open up about it.
Creating a Safe Space
Because when people see that they are not the only ones going through a particular thing, they feel more comfortable talking about it and sharing it. So I feel like role models can help and inspire others to seek help by actually sharing their story and, you know, talking about their recovery journey if they have one. Also demonstrating empathy, showing that there's no judgment. Like when, like when these things are talked about, when mental health struggles, mental health, when they see post around suicide, approaching it with empathy and not, oh, if it were me, I would have done this in this way, you know, approaching it with empathy, knowing, letting people know that when you have such certain situations, we don't judge. This is a safe space and things like that.
Encouragement and Resources
Also encouraging people to seek help. Like I said, if you are someone that a lot of people look up to, you have a fan base. You have certain communities online and you know that a large amount of people look up to you when you tweet something like this. They believe you. They tend to like move to it, then can use that platform to encourage people to seek help and also refer them to places where they can get more resources and support when needed. It's not enough to just say, oh, when you have this particular struggle, this. Is what you should do, this is what you do. When it gets to a point where they cannot handle it by themselves, what then do they do? Referring them to organizations or brands that can actually give them more support or more resources around mental health.
The Power of Language
Thank you very much for that wonderful answer. Me. I can tell you that I've gained sharing stories can help to be a role model, representation about mental health. Sharing your own mental health struggles doesn't can help people relate to you more. I also learnt that approaching suicide with empathy, demonstrating empathy, no judgments when it comes to conversations surrounding suicide can also be a way you can be a role model and representation just goes a long way to say we all have to be a role model and a good representation to conversations surrounding suicide. Thank you so much for that wonderful question answer rather.
Engaging the Audience
So please guys, we need you to tweet. We need you to tweet. We have gifts for you. Use the hashtag WSP 24, changing the narrative. Start the conversation. Mentally aware initiatives. So please, you can also use keywords for speaker. Tweet, tweets. We want to see it all. Thank you all so much for still remaining on this conversation with us. We appreciate each and every one of you very much. The next question will be to Enyola and it will be about the power of words.
Language and Mental Health
Yes, you know, we all know we've all beg everywhere we go power in what you say, how you converse with yourself, why you converse with people, how you cannot say that. You should not say that to yourself. We go as much as. Even to the point of when we are feeling sick, we say, I am strong. So the power of words. How can language and messaging create a more supportive environment? Daniela, are you still with us?
Mindfulness in Language Use
Sorry, I'm still here. Okay. Okay. So you said, how can language. Yes. How can language and messaging. Okay, one. One thing that I would say is, like, the words that we use is very powerful. Words have powerful meanings, and words have, like, different interpretations of it. Yes. So we have to be very mindful of the way we talk about suicide or related topics. Suicide, mental health in general. We have to be very mindful of the type of language that we make use of whenever we're talking about mental health and suicide. And, you know, like I said earlier, the whole committing suicide, instead of you using the actual word, which is taking their lives or dying by suicide, that is one language that I can use.
Supportive Language Matters
So the type of language that we use is going to determine whether we're going to create, like, a supportive environment or an environment that actually leads to more stigmatization of people. You have to be mindful of the way you speak around people, because you don't know what it is that they are going through, and you don't know how they are going to react to the things that you say. So when you're talking about sensitive topics like suicide, you have to be very mindful of the type of words that you use, because you don't know what the next person is going through. And if probably you're talking about suicide, and then you're just saying things like, that guy that committed suicide, he doesn't even have sense at all.
Negative Stigma
Things that is going on. Now, you've used two things. You've used the word commit suicide, and then you've also implied that it was not in the right state of mind, which is. Which might be true, but the way you are talking about it means that you hold some sort of negative stigma about mental health. Now, if you have a friend in that particular conversation that is also going through suicidal ideation, knowing that, oh, with the way this my friend is talking about suicide, I don't think I will be able to want to share my experience with him or want to talk to this person about what I'm going through. So you have to be very mindful of the words that you use, because you don't know the impact that's going to have on the next person.
Using Supportive Language
You want to use supportive languages. Like I said, dying by suicide or taking their lives. You also want to show that the things that I'm talking about, you want to educate yourself on the languages to use when you're talking about this sensitive topic. You want to properly educate yourself now. You want to go online. You want to listen to people and their experiences. You want to listen to people that have tried to take their lives and, you knowing languages, that leads to more stigmatization or the ones that create, like, a supportive environment. So education is very important when it comes to the use of language.
Distinguishing Individuals from Conditions
So you also want to separate the person from, let's say, like, their disability or the mental illness that they are going through. So instead of saying, oh, a schizophrenic person. Oh, this person is schizophrenic or stuff like that, you want to try using more supportive language, like a person with schizophrenia or someone diagnosed with schizophrenia, because now you're identifying that this person is a person before their disability or before whatever struggle they are going through. Oh, this person is a depressed person, or it could just be a person diagnosed with depression or person with depression and stuff like that.
Mindfulness Reduces Stigma
So you want to be very mindful of type of words that you use whenever you're talking about the sensitive topics in order to not lead to more stigmatization and letting people know that, okay, whenever it is that you're going through something, you can reach out to me because it shows that I have, like, proper understanding of this particular topic, and I know not to stigmatize you or to have negative perception about whatever it is that you're going through. So, yes, we have to be very mindful of the language because it has, like, a lot of impact.
Recognition and Appreciation
Thank you very much. Thank you very much for that. Wonderful answer. Amazing answer. In your last, my takeaway, I just have to say, I just have to give you my takeaway. It's important I give you my takeaway because this is very important to me. Be mindful of the type of language we are using. Right. We are to be mindful of the words we are using surrounding conversations around society, and it will help us to determine the kind of environment we are building. Is it a supportive one? You know, we're trying to build a supportive environment kind of language that we are using would help us in determining that is one of, that's the important takeaway I took away from that conversation.
Encouragement to Engage
So I have a question to access and, you know, comes with a gift. So let's get into it. The question is it. So my question is, any other just spoke about something, language. Yes, I'm still there. I'm still dead. If you find you have a question, please don't. Don't hesitate to ask. You can just request and then we can't you speak at all? So please, if you have a question, just signify. Thank you very much. Samoa. My question is, how do we rephrase this statement?
Rephrasing Sensitivity
Is it appropriate to say a depressed person or a person suffering from depression? If you would like to answer that question, please signify. I'll repeat it again. How do we rephrase this statement? Is it appropriate to say a depressed person or a person diagnosed with depression? Actually, let me rephrase that again. How do you say this statement properly? Is it appropriate to say a depressed person or a person diagnosed with depression? Okay, we have someone requested.
Proper Terminology
Okay, groom minders, you have been allowed to speak. Please tell us your name and then answer the question. Yes. All right, I can hear you. I want to thank Manny for putting this together. It is more appropriate to say a person diagnosed with depression instead of saying a depressed person. Thank you very much for that answer. Thank you very much. And yes, she's correct. It's more appropriate to say a person diagnosed with depression than a depressed person.
Gift Recognition
Please, can we assemble, can we note down her name and then so that we be able to prepare our gift? Sorry for that. Sorry for that break. We're moving on with the conversation, and we are going to be asking the next question, which is directed at BuMi, which is directed at me. And the next question is, what role do educational institutes play in suicide prevention?
Educational Roles in Mental Health
We may over to you. All right, thank you for that question. So I feel like educational institutions play a large role, especially around youth mental health, because where we spend our time, majority of the time where we spend, okay, I'm a graduate. Sorry. Where students spend most of their time, the institution, of course, because they are there 8% of the time, even primary school, secondary school students, they spend most of their time in school. So I feel like there's no better place to actually train them or create that awareness done in their institution.
Integrating Mental Health Education
So they have a very large role to play in suicide prevention, first of all, by integrating the mental health education into their curriculums. If we are taking a course around mental health, even before you get into the university, just the way you have health education, if health education doesn't just focus on physical health, because health education is supposed to encompass our physical health and our mental health, but these days in schools, majority of us, before I heard about mental health was when I was in secondary school, senior secondary school, and I started doing health education from primary school, I guess so I feel like if they don't just focus on we're doing health education, there should be a balance as you're emphasizing on physical health, also emphasize on mental health.
Creating Awareness
I feel like if this has been put into the curriculum, it would play a large role in suicide prevention. Because everybody now is aware, they understand what mental health is. They know that it can come up anytime. They know what to do when they are in certain situations or when some certain people are in certain situations. Just the way, you know, in schools, they teach you first aid, CPR and all those things. Also there should be that first aid when someone is trying to take their own life. What do you do if you are around that person?
Counseling Services
You know, those type of things should be put into the curriculum so that, I mean, it could reduce the rate of suicide in the society. Also providing access to counseling services if they, if like each institution have a standard counseling. I emphasize on standard because these days I don't think most institutions, their counselors just. Okay, just someone you can talk to. But if they employ professional, actual counselors, like mental health professionals, stand by and like a 24 hours counseling service online, that is, you don't have to physically go to see a counselor.
Addressing Stigma
There are hotlines, especially around campuses, because many students fear judgments and stigma. And also they just have this. I want to remain anonymous. I have a problem, but I want to share it, but I just want to remain anonymous. So if they can provide a counseling service or a hotline service that can run 24 hours on campus, whenever you call there's someone they're picking up to talk to you. You don't have to go in physically to and see a counselor so that you are more open to talking about whatever you are going through can actually reduce and play a large role in suicide prevention.
Training and Awareness
Also training the teachers and staff to recognize morning signs, lecturers, teachers, staff, people around that work in the school environment, how they can recognize the warning size signs of suicide in his students. Because like I said, we spend most of, I said we again, students spend most of their time in school. And so if there's any place to display or to show the signs, it would be definitely when they are in school. And if these lecturers or teachers have been trained on how to recognize the warning sign of suicide in a student, they definitely will be able to offer the appropriate help when identify when a student needs help and also offer the appropriate help and also promoting students community and connection.
Student Community Initiatives
Just like we have in Unilad, we have the stand club. That is a way to promote student connections and community. Join this club so that you can be able to learn more about mental health and also join in creating awareness around mental health. At least when people know that there's a club like this, they know that there's a safe space for them. When they are going through certain things or when they need certain help, they can access this help with the community, they can talk about it, and they know that is a safe space. So I feel like that is one way educational institutions can play a role in suicide prevention.
Acknowledging Contributions
Thank you. Thank you very much for that wonderful answer for me. Yes, there should be. I totally agree with what Mia said because, yes, like, the last event that we had in which went to Tanso High School, I. I totally love that project because we are cutting them young. We are educating, you know, the younger generation on what. How important it is for them to talk about their mental health. And as we have Stan Unilag that is helping us to create a safe. That is a safe space for us to openly discuss our mental health issues. So I'm going to go on to the next question.
Further Questioning
And this question is directed at anyola. No, actually still directed at WUMI. And it is community support networks. What role can the school. You know, we've talked about educating the youth, the role educational institution play. But what role can the school play, like, in acting suicide prevention among students? Over to you at me.
Creating Support Networks
Okay, so I think I just addressed that, but I'm going to emphasize more on how they can, in terms of support network or community support networks. Like I said, fostering inclusive environment. That is a place where you're not saying, okay, because you have anxiety, you stay here, or you be separated or isolated. Isolated, or because you. You've noted that you have certain types of mental health challenges, you will be isolated from your peer group. Fostering that inclusive environment is one way they can actually build and reduce suicide rate among students on campus.
Promoting Student Connections
Also promoting students connections, like this town club, if it's coming from the school management that, okay, you people, there's this club that is around mental health, but you are, as you know, as you are registering in your department, they are registering you into the club. They are promoting it constantly, letting students know every time, every opportunity they have, making students so that these clubs are available on campus. These communities are available on campus. This is where you can get certain resources for certain challenges. This is where you can get certain hotlines for certain.
Awareness Dissemination
This is who you can reach out to. This is how you can get to this person with either flyers, posters, banners and constant publicity. Just the way they pass information on campus about important things. Also, same way this information should be constantly passed around and across the students. And like I said, training the staff and recognizing the warning on how to recognize the warnings signs of suicide in students and also engaging the parents and communicates.
Engaging Parents
It's not enough to get the training in school, get the awareness in school, and then your parents at home don't even know anything about it and it is difficult for you to be able to share that knowledge with them because they are unaware. So I feel like engaging the parents. I think there's something else. I don't know if they still do it. They have this yearly, annually. It's something like PTA, but it's not PTA. It's just bringing the parents together, sharing updates and them asking questions and answering forums like that.
Sharing Knowledge
They could also talk to the parents on how to recognize the signs, warning signs of suicide in their student, in their child that have been sentenced and how to manage it. When their children come up to them and tell them they have certain issues, how to manage it and how to handle it could also go a long way. So I hope I've answered your question.
Final Acknowledgements
Yes. Yes you have. You did so much justice to it. Thank you so much wummy for that amazing answer. I have been put to share with us and is relating to our conversation. Your story isn't over yet. Reaching out for help is a sign of strengthen and together we can rewrite the narrative of hope, healing and resilience. We have started the conversation surrounding society and it's been an amazing time so far with our wonderful speakers.
Summation of Themes
Ateniola at Womi where we've talked about touched so many questions already. We've talked about stigma, we've talked about challenging the myths surrounding suicide, common misconceptions. We've talked about strategies that can help individual assessment supports, which include money hotlines, you know, and so much more. And we've talked about resilience recovery, how to how it contributes and how to recover from mental health challenges.
The Power of Words
We've also talked about the power of words. How can language and messaging, you know, how it creates a more supportive environment. We have to be mindful of our words in which I asked the question of which statement is more correct, a depressed person or a person diagnosed from suicide? And we had a speaker tell us the answer. Proper statement is a person diagnosed with depression. And we've talked about digital platforms. We talked about how technology can help promote mental health and how role models inspires others to seek help. We've learned that we have role models and representations out there to share our mental health struggles and stories of how we overcome it and ways that which people can also, you know, learn from. And it creates that same space for all. It creates our start that conversation. Okay. For nothing to be ashamed about. I can, I can also, you know, overcome what I am going through.
Educating the Youth
We've also talked about educating the youth, how educational institutes play in society. Prevention, in which we know that there is Stanley Sunnah work as a network, is a volunteer group under money mentally aware Nigeria initiative that you can join, which we create safe space for people to openly talk about. Which one of the ways we are having this conversation today. What's inside? Prevention day seminar conversation. And our last question was community support networks. What the roles that the school place prevention and women also know that this. I didn't even know there's a thing in Lagdaws in which they bring in parents. I don't know if they still do. But it's a wonderful thing to know that these are roles that our school can play. You know, the standard gay schools, especially from the grassroots, the nursery, the primary.
Mental Health Awareness in Schools
It's amazing how a lot of people don't know that children or even adolescent teenagers can have mental health issues because they're struggling, they are moving, they are transitioning. It can be a lot on them. And it's important that we are started this conversation. If we now, if we go out there, if we, you know, hear something that is not, no bothered right or is not sounding right, we can, with empathy, correct others that this is how it should be by starting the conversation and that can create, it can foster a more supportive environment. So, and with that we want to share some stories with. I don't know if Dubai's emaniola and will me have some stories, personal stories that can reduce stigma and inspire hope at anyola. At one me who would like to go first. Okay. Okay.
Sharing Personal Experiences
We nominate in your laughters to share if you have a personal story to share that can reduce stigma and inspire opioids. I would say I have a lot, but let me just speak on. Would I say the most profound one? But yes. So, I'm usually very vocal when it comes to like my mental health struggles and studying things that I'm going through. So I know how important it is for other people to be able to relate with you and also, you know, being able to share how you're able to overcome certain things can also be, like, very helpful for other people that are going through something similar or know people that are going through something similar. So I am someone that I was diagnosed with social anxiety. And what this means is that being in public spaces, probably, like, alone or in places that I'm not really familiar with, it gives me a lot of anxiety.
Coping with Social Anxiety
And also public speaking and other related things gives me, like, a lot of social anxiety. But at the same time, that doesn't stop me from, I mean, I'm the president or the outgoing president of Stan UNilag, meaning I have to do a lot of speaking in front of people. And also in psychology, we have lots of group work, so we also have to present in public as well. So being someone that struggles with, like, a lot of social anxiety and constantly having to put myself in front of people at least twice a month is a lot, obviously. But then knowing that, okay, there are certain ways in which I can actually deal with this social anxiety, I've tried talking to people about it, I've tried reading up on it, and ways in which I can better handle my social anxiety when I'm speaking publicly. And those have actually helped me know that, okay, take the breath.
Overcoming Challenges
Know that the people that are there to listen to you, not to criticize you. And other things like that has helped me to be able to deal with the social anxiety. And knowing that, okay, I'm in front of people to talk about things that they need to hear has also been very helpful. Of course, it still happens to me whenever I'm in front of people. For example, I also take tutorials in the department. So most times, often than not, when I start teaching, you can read. You can feel like, okay, this person's voice is kind of, like, shaky at the beginning, and then you're like, mental distress and stuff like that. And then you just have people in the audience saying that, but then your voice is shaking. I'm like, oh, yes, it is.
Addressing Stigma
Because, actually, due is, like, a lot of social anxiety. So it's taking a lot of stress to be in front of you guys here to talk about this or, you know, to muster up the energy and the strength to be able to talk about this topic here today. So knowing that, okay, I can talk about this thing, and even if people are going to stigmatize me, it doesn't matter. But, like, so there'll be someone out there that when they hear me, talk about this, my personal struggles, they can be able to draw strength from it. It just shows how important it is sharing personal experiences. Of course, you see someone, you feel like, oh, this person is very strong. This person is very.
Breaking the Stigma Barrier
This person is very dark, but you don't know what this person is going through. So if this person that you perceive as being strong actually comes up to talk about some of the things that they are going through, some of the things that they've gone through, it just makes you know that, okay, I mean, if this person can, you know, talk about these things that they've gone through and still be so strong, it means that I also have the power to be able to do these things that this person is doing, and it can build resilience in you as well, and also reduce the stigma, knowing that almost everyone has certain things that they are going through. And then if these people are coming up to talk about it doesn't seem like a taboo topic anymore. There are people that are, you know, that have societal ideation almost all the time, but you would not know because, of course, it's not written on the face.
Realizing Common Experiences
But then if these people now come to talk about it, making you realize that even normal people are going through some of these things doesn't require you to have a certain level of psychopathy or certain level of psychopathology to be able to relate to these things. But these things are things that normal people are going through as well. It will make you want to talk about your personal struggles and also reduce the stigma that is around mental health and suicide. Thank you. Thank you very much for that. That was inspiring. I'm sure I'm not the only one that was inspired by that, because that was absolutely inspiring.
Personal Story Sharing
Over to you. Ask for me. Do you have any personal story to share? Because Enyala has inspired me already. I don't know about anyone else. So over to you. Yeah, so I would say it's not. It's not like a story. So, researcher, just, like, my mental health journey so far, I basically, I'm not our person to speak about, like, whatever I'm going through. And over time, when I worked at money, it's, like, became an habit because, I mean, they would always encourage you to speak up so that let your emotions out so that you can actually be able to, move past it. And so that was where I just picked up the habit of, because usually when I'm going through stuff, I just battle it on my own and get through it.
The Importance of Support
Sometimes I just suffer in silence, if that's the right term to use. And then over time, I just picked up the habit of being able to share how I feel or how I am feeling at the moment with at least someone that I know that can help or offer support. And so it has been helpful along the way because it just helps me release that emotion and act and work on it and then move past it, because usually I just suppress it and then it still haunts me. It still, like, makes me feel down. But, you know, when I share it, when I talk about it, even if the person doesn't have what I need or, like, the support, I mean, just talking about it with someone and the person acknowledging my feelings actually makes it, like. It makes it, like, relieving, like, okay, a part of the body has been cut off.
Encouragement to Seek Help
So I just want to encourage everyone listening or on this Twitter space to, you know, find that support group, find that friend, find that one person, trust that one person that you can talk to. And if for any reason, you are going through something that you feel like is beyond yourself, that you cannot, you don't understand what you're going through, but you know you're going through something that is affecting you. Just reach out. If you don't trust your friends enough, if you don't trust the people around you enough, you can always reach out to us at money. There are several hotlines. If you don't want. If you just want to speak, you don't want people to know is you. You don't, you know, your identity is covered.
Professional Help is Available
It's just between you and the counselor. You can reach out to a professional counselor at Manihood can request to speak with the counselor at Mani, and they will definitely attend to you. So don't ever feel like you are alone. There's no point that you're alone. Even if your friends around are not people you want to talk to about things, you can always reach out to. Manny, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for that. And it just goes to say that we've started the conversation. We have started the conversation, and we're going to be opening room for people from the audience.
Inviting Further Conversations
Incoming president also on this call. And I would like Samuel to also share a personal story, you know, to inspire us and give us hope. Samuel. Hello. Hello, Jola. Yes. Personal story. All right. So growing up was hard, trying to, like, be social and then be the guy with the grades and all. And then there were times where it was way too tiring to keep up with school and how I don't have any friends and how your parents keep comparing you with the other people at the same time. Can't you see this facing skid? This one is getting here. What are you getting? All this stuff. And it was really hard. And then when it came to puberty and all those going through all those hormones changes, it was not easy getting through that sport in my life.
Speaking About Mental Health
So I had a little bit of a clash my mental. I just went down, like straight down. I was in my lowest blow and I was glad I was able to talk to someone. Which brings back speaking to the right person. She's on this call too. She knows herself. And I was able to speak to her. And then she was the one that, let's say, anchored me back to life, helped me find out the beautiful part of life, part of living. I don't have to be so tiring or it doesn't have to be so stressful. And I just want to say thank you again. Yes, it's important to speak out. It's hard, yes or no, but it's very important when you speak to people, the right people, about this.
Access to Professional Help
And then standing in the lab is also in a position to direct you to these right people. We've got professional, trained counsellors. We need to. We just need to get to one person, one staff member. We've gotten to. Thank you guys again for listening. Now we're entertaining questions. Yeah, what about? Yes, we'll entertain questions. We are changing the narrative. I am so excited to be part of this conversation, watching the narrative. I have a personal story to also share. Well, sometime in 2022, I was struggling with significant life changes.
Personal Experiences of Overcoming Challenges
I had to being on my own and solely, almost like 90%, being responsible for myself, financially and every other thing. It was quite overwhelming. And I tried. I was. I was getting the jobs, I was making money, but it was a whole lot of workload. And I remember vividly I was. I am. Well, people that know me, that are close to me will know that I am a playful person. Juvia and all of a sudden I started to shut down. I was no longer playful, I was no longer jovial. Things I love to enjoy was going. And I knew there was a problem.
Finding Support Through Conversations
I had not joined standing lag then, but I spoke to a lecturer at the faculty. Luckily for me, I'm a student of the department of psychology, University of Lagos. And I spoke to a closed lecturer in the faculty in the department. And he was able to help me through that difficult time. I learned to change habits or form new ones at least. And I was able to move through that difficult period of time. And now I know whenever I'm in that state, I've learned. I've built a wonderful circle around myself with supportive friends. I think that's very important, to have supportive friends around you that you can talk to, that they can be there to listen to you.
Creating Safe Spaces for Conversations
And you can also get the same to them by listening with empathy, no judgment, providing a safe space for them to talk to run to. And it was amazing building that space for myself. And I know that anytime I. I need people to talk to, not necessary about mental health issues, just about jokes, anything you want to talk about. I can have my supportive friends around me that we can discuss these things. Thank you all so much for joining this conversation. We are changing the narrative. We have started the conversation.
Invitation for Audience Engagement
If you have any questions, please, you can ask questions. And also I want to give. Our speakers have shared their inspiring story. I believe one person in the audience has an inspiring story that they would like to share with us. Please. If you would like to share an inspiring story with us, I would like you to signify so we can allow you to share your story. Please. You can signify, we can request to speak and then call you to share your story.
Promoting Active Engagement
Did you tweet? Did you tweet most of the things you learned today, I want you to be asked for person that gets the most engagement to. While we are waiting for anyone to share an inspiring story from the audience, because I have a quote to say to us that is in line with our conversation. In the darkest moments, reaching out is a lifeline. You are not alone. And together we can find delights. If you like that, you can also switch it. And if you have any questions, if you don't have an experience here but you have questions to ask, please also request to speak.
Closing Remarks on Mental Health Conversations
Okay. Someone has requested to speak. Okay. Glory, did you. Sorry, was I a mistake? Yes. Okay. Good day to everyone. I hear. I don't have a question, per se, but I. I've been listening to the speakers all day, and I just wanted to appreciate Manny and the speakers for this enlightening conversation. It has truly been a well rounded conversation, and I've taken away a lot. So I just want to appreciate you guys for this space that you've created.

Event Conclusion and Final Thoughts
With that, we have come to the end of our conversation. Very big thank you to everyone that stayed from the beginning to the end of this call. Very big thank you to our speakers, Enyala and Wumi. Your answers were very insightful, and we have started the conversation. We are changing the narrative. And with that, we come to the end of our World Suicide Prevention day event organized by Stan Yenilag. We hope to make a lasting impact on the university community by changing the narrative around mental health and suicide. Through open dialogue, education and support, we aim to empower students to speak up, seek help, and support one another in building a mentally healthy campus. Thank you all so much for listening once again, have a wonderful.
