It started with one sentence. Gazeta.pl and the Polish Humanitarian Action start with the ‘Helper’ action
“In a pandemic, we admit a child every day after a suicide attempt” – it all began with this sentence Pado from the mouth of Dr. Aneta Grska-Kot, head of the Pediatric Department of the Children’s Hospital of prof. Dr. med. Jan Bogdanowicz at ul. Niekaska in Warsaw, at the end of the conversation on a completely different topic. The conversation that arose in the wake of those words was the most-read interview of the Weekend.gazeta.pl magazine in 2021 and undoubtedly the most important text in my entire work on the fat system.
“I want to talk about it and even scream”
We say: suicide attempts. But as Dr. Aneta Grska-Kot claims, what they tried for themselves, they took the underage time to make her no rehearsals.
Today the children go to death. Really try not to live, just don’t always know how.
Many of these young people, when doctors manage to stabilize their condition, do not hide that they regret that their attempt has failed. “I want to talk about it and even scream. that we have a problem with children who do not want to live “- in the very brave words of Dr. Aneta Grska-Kot. There is no room for turning your head away from someone else’s suffering.
“Helper”, that is, an e-book and substantive support
My ones don’t want to do that. That is why Gazeta.pl, together with the Polish Humanitarian Action, are launching the “Helper” campaign. As part of the project, we have prepared an e-book for parents and guardians of children and teenagers who go through the fastest time, struggle with mental problems. The “helper” is available to download for free.
In “Pomocnik” we do not focus on the fact that we are focusing on the wages in Polish child psychiatry – this is what we deal with from there at Gazeta.pl. The purpose of the “helper” is different.
It has a normalizing reaction to mental crises, and above all, it mobilizes to action, instead of worrying. To help parents and guardians, let’s find support: for children and teenagers, and often also for ourselves, because the crisis of one family member affects the whole family. We know that seeking help from logistics is not easy – all kinds of repairs take place on the road, from mental loans and financial resources. That is why we put the maximum emphasis on accessible and practical solutions. We hope it worked out.
Crisis is the best topic to talk about. But expertly speaking and touching the child’s suffering often swells the thighs. Before buying a place, in the “Helper” we give training to have fun and build a bond with the child and teenager’s child. For while no one is born with these skills, anyone can practice them.
The “helper” is for you
It’s not everything. On the “Pomocnik” website you will find videos of the A study in cooperation with Dr. Grsk-Kot, as well as expert reports, articles, reports and interviews with experts and experts. There will be more and more of them.
In the course of the implementation of the “helper” along with Nin Mocior and Magdalena Jaranowska from the Polish Humanitarian Action and when creating interviews with professional content consultants – Mirosaw Ktn and Dr. Aleksandr Piotrowski from the Committee for the Protection of Children’s Rights, take with Dr. Ew Woydyo-Osiatysk from the Foundation Institute of Positive Education – we have realized that the crisis of Polish child psychiatry and the subject of suicide is only the tip of the ice. It is not just about suicide attempts and deaths, depression and other serious diagnoses. Below them are hundreds of thousands of lonely tragedies of children and teenagers, the pandemic only aggravated this suffering. Their parents and guardians suffer these.
The “helper” is for you, you are not alone.
