FUNDRAISING
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness month. Remount Foundation encourages everyone who has a family member or neighbor or friend affected by a post-traumatic stress experience or a traumatic brain injury to recognize the signs of suicidal ideation.
Suicidal ideation occurs when someone has thoughts or ideas about the possibility of ending his or her life. This is not a diagnosis, but an early indicator of a possible mental health issue that could progress.
There are five actions that you can take that could save someone’s life when suicidal ideation is suspected:
"Are you thinking about suicide?" It's not an easy question to ask, but acccording to the National Institues of Mental Health, asking does not increase ideation.
Removing the person from a unsafe location is ideal if possible.
Listen. Learn what the person is thinking and feeling. Acknowledge their pain.
If you need to get the person connected to someone trained in suicidal prevention, contact the Veterans and Military Crisis Line by dialing 988 then press 1.
Follow up with the person. Support is key to healing.
Team RF understands the overwhelming feelings that drown America’s Bravest mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. The trauma experienced in combat zones or on incident scenes create an unbalanced life with feelings and emotions that affect daily tasks, relationships, sleep patterns, dietary and exercise habits, the list is long and varied.
Team RF creates a safe, peaceful environment to allow each participant to focus on their traumatic stressors. As the participant gets acquainted with their horse partner, the participant’s mood swings or physical changes due to a PTS trigger are reflected by the horse to their human partner. The bond created during these reflections invoke a healing power that is undeniable.
If you are in need of assistance for yourself or someone else, please contact us. If you are in an emergency situation and need immediate medical attention, please dial 911. If you need to talk to someone, please dial 988, then press 1.
