The Why and What for KYVO ????

TRADITIONAL vs KYVO
Traditional Approach
SUICIDE is a CAUSE of DEATH
- Preventions are aimed at those most deamed at risk.
- Is based in societal fears of death
- Misleading in the increase risk associated with depression while ignoring the real increase risk of those with OCD and ADHD
- Ignores the increase risk to those that value the quality of life over the quantity of life.
- Aims preventions at groups of people instead of customizing to the individual.
- Fails to empower the individual that controls the action with the ability to prevent themself
- Offers supportive measures to those that are suicidal and not preventive measures evident in the increase statics across the board of demographics
The KYVO Approach
SUICIDE is a RISK to LIFE
&
Recognizes that:
ALL of US are at RISK.
- Life and death are not opposites but share the same side of the coin. That every time we act to avoid dying we miss an opportunity to experience life.
- Each individual has their own threshold for Pain and Coping through the Storms of Life. When those storms overwhelm the ability and resources to Cope; the result is often suicide.
- The KYVO approach to suicide prevention empower individuals to prevent it for themselves as they recognize their own needs and limitations to create their own plan for prevention.
- Places the onus of responsibility for preventing suicide on those that control the act.
- Promotes the occurrence for difficult conversations to be had and provides tools to make them easier.
