00:00.040 --> 00:02.710
greetings Marine Corps Air station huma .

00:02.720 --> 00:04.887
I'm chaplain Aaron Schock coin and I'd

00:04.887 --> 00:06.776
like to talk to you about suicide

00:06.776 --> 00:08.664
awareness month , in the month of

00:08.664 --> 00:10.831
september we all have a responsibility

00:10.831 --> 00:12.664
to care for our fellow marines ,

00:12.664 --> 00:14.720
sailors , friends and family that we

00:14.720 --> 00:16.887
spend time with on a daily basis . The

00:16.887 --> 00:19.053
good news is there's lots of resources

00:19.053 --> 00:21.100
available here on Marine Corps air

00:21.100 --> 00:23.360
station , humor myself , medical

00:23.360 --> 00:26.030
facilities , emergency responders but

00:26.030 --> 00:28.410
even more so each and every one of you

00:28.420 --> 00:30.531
that works here on a daily basis . We

00:30.531 --> 00:32.800
all have a responsibility to care for

00:32.800 --> 00:35.140
our friends and family . I encourage

00:35.140 --> 00:37.940
you to remember the acronym act . The

00:37.940 --> 00:40.530
first is to ask if you are thinking

00:40.530 --> 00:42.690
about suicide when you encounter

00:42.690 --> 00:44.746
someone that's struggling , ask them

00:44.746 --> 00:47.280
directly that question secondly , we're

00:47.280 --> 00:49.620
called to care for all those that are

00:49.620 --> 00:51.970
around us . This is particularly true

00:51.970 --> 00:53.914
when they answer yes to that first

00:53.914 --> 00:56.200
question . It's not your job to figure

00:56.200 --> 00:58.050
out what's happening or why it's

00:58.050 --> 01:00.190
happening . But it moves to the next

01:00.190 --> 01:03.090
step which is to treat your role and

01:03.090 --> 01:05.770
responsibility is straightforward . It

01:05.770 --> 01:08.160
is simply to help them find the help

01:08.240 --> 01:10.240
that they need . I encourage you to

01:10.240 --> 01:13.480
bring him to me to medical , to uh any

01:13.490 --> 01:16.020
emergency responder that can help them

01:16.020 --> 01:19.310
find success to overcome

01:19.320 --> 01:23.450
suicide
