U. S.: Suicide Prevention in Youth (Contd.)
by Dr. Richard P. Fitzgibbons, MD
This week I am sharing the last and the most important part of the continued excerpts from the research article for your attention, so that we could help prevent those who are in danger of taking a disastrous decision to commit suicide:
Benefits of Faith: The knowledge of the benefits of faith to psychological health can assist parents in protecting and strengthening their children. For example, a study at Harvard University used a large sample of over 5,000 adolescents, followed them up for more than eight years, to try to isolate the effect of religious upbringing.
Those who attended religious services regularly were subsequently: 12% less likely to have high depressive symptoms 33% less likely to use illicit drugs. Those who prayed or meditated frequently were: 30% less likely to start having sex at a young age 40% less likely to subsequently have a sexually transmitted infection.
Moreover, a religious upbringing also contributed to a number of positive outcomes as well, such greater happiness, more volunteering in the community, a greater sense of mission and purpose, and higher levels of forgiveness.
For example, those who attended religious services were subsequently: 18% more likely to report high levels of happiness 87% more likely to have high levels of forgiveness. Those who prayed or meditated frequently were subsequently: 38% more likely to volunteer in their community 47% more likely to have a high sense of mission and purpose.
These are relatively large effects across a variety of health and well-being outcomes. Religious practice and prayer or meditation can be important resources for adolescents navigating the challenges of life. The serious threats to the development of a healthy personality in their children and future psychological health should be identified by parents and communicated to them. These include: divorce, selfishness, excessive use of social media, loneliness, anger, mistrust, low self-esteem. It is time to see that the time-tested ways of faith, virtues, and living for others is a pathway to health.
A major way in which Catholic parents can protect the psychological and spiritual health of their children is to model a loving, loyal relationship in their marriage. Parents can build hope in their children by sharing their lived experiences of the benefits of virtues and grace from prayer and religious services that can protect their minds and hearts from the current epidemic of hopelessness and suicide.
May God be the source of strength and confidence to those who face challenges in life. Fr. Arul Joseph V.

February 12 - Founding Brothers – Joseph Ellis - History Channel (3 hr-will skip some, 2002) Examines six moments when collisions and collusions of these towering figures, Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Burr left an indelible imprint on America. February 19 - The Crossing. (1 hour 40 mins, 1999) Jeff Daniels as George Washington on Christmas night, 1776 takes his troops, suffering from disease and desertion across the ice choked Delaware River. The next morning, they surprise the battle-hardened Hessian mercenaries. February 26 - The Tree of Life - Terrence Malick. (2 hours, 19 mins, 2011) Terrence Malick now in four decades of film making, realized his most rapturous vision to date, in this film, tracing a story of childhood, wonder and grief to the outer limits of time and space. Reaching back to the dawn of creation, Malick sets a story of boyhood memories on a universal scale, charting the coming of age of an awestruck child (newcomer Hunter McCracken) in Texas in the 1950s, as he learns to navigate the extremes of nature and grace represented by his bitter often tyrannical father (Brad Pitt) and his ethereal, nurturing mother (Jessica Chastain).
