What People Have to Say

Patricia Wistinghausen has been an excellent partner with Kūkulu Kumuhana O Anahola (KKOA) in helping us to accomplish our goal to see someone trained in Suicide Prevention on every street in Anahola. She is articulate, compassionate and has the ability to remove the fear of talking about suicide prevention. We have been very blessed to have such an experienced speaker and trainer in our community. She is also an amazing listener who brings solutions to the table when difficult situations are brought up. Patricia is definitely changing lives to help others change lives as well. We are so thankful for her!

Healing with Aloha

I met Patricia in May 2021 through the Prevent Suicide Kaua’i Task Force.  Meeting her was a true blessing.  She is well-connected to her community and understands the importance of partnerships and collaboration.  She is knowledgeable about resources, services, agencies, and truly cares about helping others.  Patricia and I co-hosted an event last year, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure where to start.  Patricia helped plan and promote the event, using her wealth of knowledge about marketing and administrative services.  She is a tireless advocate for people struggling with mental health issues, and is also an accomplished speaker on topics of suicide prevention.

Speaker Topic


Destigmatizing the

Act of Being Yourself

For years, Patricia has been an active leader of the Prevent Suicide Kaua'i Task Force (PreventSuicideKauai.org), organizing and delivering suicide prevention education and trainings for her community. Throughout that time, Patricia regained her voice and confidence by sharing her personal mental health story and has empowered others to also find hope, help, and healing for themselves.

  • Talk Summary

    As women, we are often caregivers for others in our lives, but how often are we nurturing and checking in with ourselves? How often are we acknowledging what we need, plus showing ourselves compassion?

     

    In her talk, Patricia shares her own life experiences and struggles with mental health (living with depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, and grief) and she challenges others to reflect on their own stories and take actions to shift their perspectives, reduce stigmas - especially surrounding mental health - and feel empowered to mindfully practice being their authentic selves.

  • Key Takeaways

    • Shift your perspective to reduce stigma and take care of your mental health.
    • Why you need to both acknowledge and take action steps to seek or receive help and heal.
    • How to inspire others by showing up for and empowering yourself.
