Mentor Attributes

Recently, a Facebook friend posted an interesting article. In his article he stated the current phraseology of “flawed” or “flawsome” may be applicable in the Church "as pertains to its inability to retain, very well, the generation under thirty.” While the term might be applicable as pertains to short comings in the application of doctrine, I do not feel it fits the Church in regards to how we work with and incorporate youth.

Surveys indicate youth leaving the church because they do not feel they are vital to the church operation. I happen to attend a church where youth are actively engaged and feel they are a vital part of its outreach not only to the surrounding community but to the world. The key to this success is found in the numbers of adults who willingly participate in church youth related programs and are actively involved as mentors.

The Dallas-Fort Worth regions are in the midst of a Suicide Crisis.

Suicide was the second leading cause of death among teenagers and young adults in the DFW areas during 2010-2011.

Over the past three years, (2009-2011) suicide rates have increased to an all time high in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

As recent as five years ago, suicide was listed as the eighth leading cause of death among teens and young adults nationally. Currently it is the third leading cause of death in those age categories.

Nation wide, there is a suicide every eighteen minutes. In simplier terms, today a minimum of eighty (80) people will take their own lives.

What is Suicide Intervention?

I am an advocate and trainer of Suicide Intervention Skills. I have trained hundreds of individuals in basic intervention skills. Many of my students, using these skills, have saved others who were “at risk” for suicide.

There is a significant difference between Suicide Prevention and Suicide Intervention and it is best understood by comparing it with the following analogy.
