Intentional Injury Prevention, Safety and First Aid

Background Information for Learners:

The basic necessities of humanity incorporate food, clothing, and shelter. In any case, it is not enough that we
have these fundamental requirements assuming we are living in fear and the uncertainty of danger every day. Today, one
rising need that we want to focus in on is safety.
We are uncovered 100% of the time to risks, regardless of whether we are youthful or old, rich, or poor. It is
essential that we know about what these potential risks are, what these can mean for us, and how we can set ourselves up
to keep them from occurring or minimize their effects if they happen to us.

What’s In
SELF-INFLICTED INTENTIONAL INJURIES
The key to suicide prevention is to act fast and take the suicide attempt seriously. A straightforward yet effective way is to
talk to the person if you are worried that s/he will attempt suicide. It's going to feel awkward and uncomfortable to speak,
but anyone who shows indications and warning signs needs immediate help and also the you respond, the better. In this
case, you will express concern for that person by saying “I wanted to test abreast of you because you haven’t been
yourself lately”. You'll may also ask questions, like
“Did something happen that made you begin feeling this way?” You may also offer your help by saying “I might not be
able to ready understand exactly how you are feeling, but I care about you and that I want to assist.”
To prevent from becoming a victim of assault and abuse, one important consideration is knowing the proper self-defense
techniques which involve physical, mental, and emotional assertiveness.
These are the following:
Self-esteem – having self-confidence that will make you less likely to be chosen as an easy target.
Assertiveness – having a bold and confident behavior, like speaking with conviction, may prevent a physical attack. Since
many attackers want easy victims they can overpower quickly, saying forcefully phrases like “Leave me alone” may
surprise an attacker before s/he can make a move. Body language – making direct eye contact and using a strong voice are
some actions that can send off a message to the attacker that you are aware of how to take care of your safety and that you
will not be victimized easily.
Intuition – one important rule is that if you sense danger, or if you sense that something is wrong or about to happen, you
should immediately get away.
A self-protective attitude – most important of all, you must realize that you are worthy and have a right to be treated with
respect. Being safe is your right, but it is also your responsibility.
