SISFI's Yonkers Emotional Pain and Wellness Crisis Center

Don't waste your energy feeding into people's negative energy because all you're doing is allowing yourself to be manipulated by their chaos and mindset, and lowering yourself to their ignorance. If you stoop to their level, don't complain about the impacts they had/have on you. Regardless of what your life has been, and is, breathe positive enlightenment into your existence every day to enhance your well-being. You don’t need anyone to do it for you, you can for yourself. Rise above the ignorance of negativity and free your heart and mind from it. #IAmBrettless #OneLove ~Brett A. Scudder

Mr. @BrettAScudder shares lived experience with #suicide by hanging to bring understanding to the numbing effects of #EmotionalPain and how someone can uncontrollably lose their life to it. It wasn’t the tightening of the cord around my neck that hurt the most as the life was leaving my body, it was the emotional hurt, pain, anguish, rejection and disappointments from people I Love and trusted that was tearing my heart and mind apart. Suicide is a personal reaction to overwh...elming emotions in and about one’s life that goes above and beyond Love, material and financial things, and spiritual beliefs. It’s about what matters to me, not you. There are many people struggling, suffering and hurting from all kinds of life challenges that resulted in emotional and physical pains and they are desperately in need of Love, help and support but fear reaching out because they don't want to be judged, labeled, ostracized or institutionalized. They shouldn't have to choose death over life just because. The only way to effectively help and support people with suicide ideation is to allow them to talk/share their pain and experiences with it the ways they know how to so we can understand why/how they are feeling to effectively provide support. It can be terrifying facing these uncontrollable emotions when every fiber of your being is in pain and hurts even when you breathe. Let's humanize the experiences people have and understand that while we may not see it as a crisis it is their pain and their reality. We all need Love and support. #OneLove ~SISFI

Technology and social media taking over our hearts/minds/lives with terrifying realities. A mom found videos on YouTube Kids that gave children instructions for #suicide. Let's make this viral so more people can know of/about it and safeguard our children from all angles. This is a hard reality that we overlook too often to realize the real impacts and effects. Thank You. #IAmBrettless #Suicideologist #Emotionologist #TheSuicideNetwork #OneLove ~Brett A. Scudder

#Bronx. This #suicide is truly tragic on every level. 9-year-old kills herself after mom told her not to play on cellphone. This happened in the Bronx River Houses. It speaks to the hard realities of addiction to technology, mobile devices and social media in our children and how serious it is for many of them. This is not the first time a child has killed themself because of it ad it won't be the last at the rate things are now. We must discuss and address this addiction ope...nly and publicly. Let's keep her mother uplifted in thoughts and prayers for healing and recovery from the loss. I can't imagine the guilt she must be feeling thinking it's her fault. #IAmBrettless #Suicideologist #Humaneologist #Depressionologist #Recoveryologist #Behaviorologist #Emotionologist #HumanizeSuicide #RiseToHealingPain #NoMoreMaskingPain #IAmPainPersonified #IAmStrengthThroughVulnerability #IAmThatIAm #EmotionalWellness #MentalHealth #MentalIllness #LivingInABreath #IChoseLoveOverLife #ZeroSuicide #TheSuicideNetwork #OneLove ~Brett A.
