Community-Based Suicide Prevention
The work is to look at major systems that are lacking structure and help to guide the work that needs to be done.
Intervention
Evaluating the current state of resources locally including private and community-based practitioners, crisis teams, groups in place, etc. Looking at gaps in services and what could be developed to fill the needs.
Prevention
Looking at themes within the community surrounding losses. Working on a plan to address potential issues moving forward.
Target Populations
Some programs and foci may need to address certain populations.
Postvention
When a loss occurs within the community, postvention management is vital to ensuring there are not additional losses. Wrapping around survivors, working on correct messaging, and setting up resources.
Resilience Building
Ensure that that providers, clinicians, and people in the community hear messages that build the values and support internally.
Suicide Prevention Education
Learn the skills necessary to create connection, foster belonging, and support mental well-being. Become aware of the signs and risks associated with suicide. Together we can prevent loss in our families and communities.
Empowering Parents Course

Healthy Systems Prevent Suicide
My passion is working with providers, departments, teams, clinics, and systems that need help. I offer presentations and training that help healthcare organizations stay abreast of the ever-changing concerns within their own organization to better cope with the demands of their teams, and those they serve. Work can be done around addressing suicide, specific disorders, team building, engaging staff, managing burnout.
In addition to suicide prevention trainings, we offer medical trainings on any topic that is a psychological disorder.
