3
00:00:04,887 --> 00:00:06,776
like to talk to you about suicide 

4
00:00:06,776 --> 00:00:08,664
awareness month , in the month of 

5
00:00:08,664 --> 00:00:10,831

6
00:00:10,831 --> 00:00:12,664
to care for our fellow marines , 

7
00:00:12,664 --> 00:00:14,720
sailors , friends and family that we 

8
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,887
spend time with on a daily basis . The 

9
00:00:16,887 --> 00:00:19,053
good news is there's lots of resources 

10
00:00:19,053 --> 00:00:21,100
available here on Marine Corps air 

11
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:23,360
station , humor myself , medical 

12
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,030
facilities , emergency responders but 

13
00:00:26,030 --> 00:00:28,410
even more so each and every one of you 

14
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:30,531
that works here on a daily basis . We 

15
00:00:30,531 --> 00:00:32,800
all have a responsibility to care for 

16
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,140
our friends and family . I encourage 

17
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:37,940
you to remember the acronym act . The 

18
00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:40,530
first is to ask if you are thinking 

19
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:42,690
about suicide when you encounter 

20
00:00:42,690 --> 00:00:44,746
someone that's struggling , ask them 

21
00:00:44,746 --> 00:00:47,280
directly that question secondly , we're 

22
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,620
called to care for all those that are 

23
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:51,970
around us . This is particularly true 

24
00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:53,914
when they answer yes to that first 

25
00:00:53,914 --> 00:00:56,200
question . It's not your job to figure 

26
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,050
out what's happening or why it's 

27
00:00:58,050 --> 00:01:00,190
happening . But it moves to the next 

28
00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:03,090
step which is to treat your role and 

29
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:05,770
responsibility is straightforward . It 

30
00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:08,160
is simply to help them find the help 

31
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,240
that they need . I encourage you to 

32
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,480
bring him to me to medical , to uh any 

33
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:16,020
emergency responder that can help them 

34
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:19,310
find success to overcome 

35
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:23,450
suicide
