st james

An amazingly inciteful piece appears in the St James PLAINDEALER today. [St James, Minnesota, north east of chicago, south of minneapolis. Population 4,616, slightly more females than males, predominantly from german and northern european extraction. Median age is 35, income $33k. 71% graduated high school, 14% college. Ah data at one’s fingertips.]

A new suicide prevention service has been set up:

The Yellow Ribbon Program teaches that warning signs for suicide include abrupt changes in personality, giving away possissions, use of drugs or alcohol, depression, lack of self-esteem, withdrawal from friends or family, chronic pain, irritability and inability to concentrate.

got that. but there’s more:

Risk factors that can trigger suicide include: problems with school, work or the law; loss of loved one, relationship, or home; family history of depression, substance abuse, or suicide; unexpected pregnancy; fear of authority, peers or gang members; stress of new situation in school, job or relocating; sexual orientation and/or identity.
