Become Suicide Alert

Learn the four basic steps to recognize persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them with suicide helping resources.  NYS Office of Mental Health and the Delaware County Suicide Prevention Coalition are sponsoring a safeTALK Suicide Prevention Training on Thursday August 14, 2014 at Delaware County Public Safety Building, 280 Phoebe Lane, Delhi, 13856 from 9AM-12:30PM.  There is no charge for this training; lunch is on your own.

Safe Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe (SafeTALK) prepares anyone over the age of 15 to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help to stay safe. Alert helpers know how to use these opportunities to support that desire for safety. safeTalk is for everyone who wants to help prevent suicide: front line workers, clergy, volunteers, teachers, law enforcement non-clinical providers, parents and youth at least 15 years old. As a SafeTALK-trained suicide alert helper, you will be better to:

•           Move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide;

•           Identify people who have thoughts of suicide

•           Apply the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to connect a person with suicide thoughts to suicide first aid, intervention caregivers.

Registration for this training is due August 8, 2014.  Please fax or email to:  Marion Mossman, Regional Director, MHA in Ulster Co, Inc., 5546 State Hwy 7, Oneonta, NY 13820.  Fax# 607-432-3814, email m.mossman@mhainulster.org

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 1-800-273-8255.

National HIV Testing Day

FAMILY PLANNING TO MARK NATIONAL HIV TESTING DAY WITH FREE CONFIDENTIAL RAPID HIV TESTING AND FREE EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION ON JUNE 27^th

Are you positive you’re negative? Family Planning of South Central New York, Inc. will mark National HIV Testing Day by offering free confidential rapid HIV testing and counseling on Friday, June 27^th from 9:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. at these health centers:

·        117 Hawley Street, Binghamton

·        5 Cortland Street, Norwich

·        37 Dietz Street, Oneonta

The rapid HIV test is a painless finger prick for a drop of blood. Results are ready in 20 minutes. Patients will receive counseling on how to identify and reduce their risk of HIV infection.

People are also welcome to pick up a free dose of Emergency Contraception, also known as the “morning after pill.”

Debra Marcus, Chief Executive Officer at Family Planning, remarked as many as one in three people with HIV don't know they are infected. “Learning your HIV status is critical to protecting your own health as well as that of others. When people know they’re infected, they can get health care and medications to keep themselves healthy for years. In addition, they can prevent further spread of the disease,” Marcus said.

Family Planning of South Central New York provides high quality, affordable family planning, related health care and education in Binghamton, Oneonta, Norwich, Sidney and Walton. All medical care is overseen by a Board Certified Gynecologist. Medical services may be free or on a sliding fee scale. Insurance and Medicaid are welcome.
