Thriving Mind youth board member Mecca McCain reme

Thriving Mind youth board member Mecca McCain remembers being as young as 11 when she first began cutting herself with a steak knife hidden in her bedroom.

The University of Miami junior remembers experiencing drastic mood swings, feeling sad, anxious and losing interest in activities, including her passion for fashion. She was one of a “handful of Black students at a predominately white, elite private school” in Washington and was not doing well in school. And, sometimes, she had suicidal thoughts.

She told her story to the Miami Herald. Read full story at News of the Day link in our bio.

Thriving Mind South Florida staff and leadership a

Thriving Mind South Florida staff and leadership attended the NAMI Miami-Dade event Saturday, March 4 on suicide prevention.

The event, called Honest Talk About Suicide and Messages of Hope, took place at the University of Miami Newman Alumni Hall.

Thriving Mind CEO and President John W. Newcomer, M.D., spoke at the event, as well as keynote speaker Kevin Hines, a survivor of suicide who speaks about recovery. Hines is the author of “Cracked, Not Broken.”

Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 25-34 in 2020, the most recent year for which data is available. Researchers emphasize that reported suicides are likely undercounted. There is a suicide death in the US every 11 minutes and approximately 1 in 5 people will experience a mental illness each year.

“We have to educate everyone about mental health, no matter their age or demographic. We believe the community will benefit from a half day conference to recognize the signs of suicide, what to do and where to go for help,” said Lisa LeSueur, NAMI Miami-Dade’s suicide prevention initiative coordinator.

All NAMI Miami-Dade programs are free – 36 support groups a month, QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) and Ending the Silence Presentations to individuals and companies to provide education about suicide and mental health issues. These programs are supported by Thriving Mind South Florida and the Florida Department of Children and Families.

For information on NAMI’s programs, go to https://namimiami.org/.

Dr. Margaret Morgan Lawrence was an accomplished p

Dr. Margaret Morgan Lawrence was an accomplished pediatrician and psychiatrist specializing as a psychoanalyst. She spent her career wanting to help children heal, later focusing on children’s mental health. Since she was a child, Dr. Lawrence wanted to be a doctor after her older brother died due to a congenital condition. She wanted to help kids like her brother, so their families did not go through what her parents did. In 1932, Dr. Lawrence attended Cornell University, where she was the only African American undergraduate attending the college at that time. After graduating with near-perfect grades, she applied and was denied admission to Cornell’s School of Medicine. Dr. Lawrence refused to give up on her dream. She was later accepted into Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. While attending there, she was the only African American student in her class and only one of ten women in her class. She was taken under the wing of Dr. Charles Drew. He was the only African American on the faculty staff and the founder of the modern-day blood bank. Dr. Lawrence began her medical career as a pediatrician. She taught at Meharry Medical College, the first medical school in the south for African Americans, and she was the only woman on the medical school’s faculty. In 1947 Dr. Lawrence and her family returned to New York for her ultimate goal of being a psychiatrist. She enrolled at Columbia University’s Columbia Psychoanalytic Center, where she was the first African American student to obtain her psychoanalysis certification. Dr. Lawrence was the first for many things, so here is a list of some of her accomplishments; she was the first African American to complete a residency at the New York Psychiatric Institute. She was the first practicing child psychiatrist in Rockland County, New York. Dr. Lawrence was co-founder of the Rockland County Center for Mental Health in New York. And she was also the first recipient of the Rockland County, New York’s J.R. Bernstein Mental Health Award. #womenshistorymonth
