From Northeast Colorado Health Department
Sterling, Colo. – January 8, 2021:Mental wellness and suicide prevention are key public health issues. According to the Colorado Health Information Dataset, suicide is a leading cause of death among Colorado youth ages 10-24. The recent suicides in our region are a reminder that we can all play a part in preventing suicide. Our culture is often uncomfortable talking about mental health and/or suicide and there is often a stigma associated with asking for help. Suicide is complex and rarely the result of only one cause. There are often a variety of circumstances including relationship problems, financial hardships, chronic pain, bullying or feeling isolated, that contribute to someone feeling suicidal. There may or may not be underlying mental health diagnoses as well. A common response to suicide is to oversimplify the cause.
It was the first time in Piel’s life that suicide hit so close.
The 15-year-old has taken a respectful approach as he tries to get the attention of politicians. It’s not that he doesn’t believe COVID-19 is serious his grandparents live 4 miles away but he didn’t see them for three months because he didn’t want to expose them. Then they told him there was “no point in living” if they didn’t get to see their grandchildren.
What Piel wants is coronavirus restrictions that are “reasonable and fair to everyone,” from his grandparents to his friends, he said. Logan County, like many others across Colorado, has enough new infections to put it at the “red” level of the governor’s coronavirus dial, meaning indoor events and group sports are prohibited. The county has had more than 2,880 coronavirus cases and 49 deaths.
