They offer training, education, and resources in suicide awareness and prevention to leaders, the community, organizations, schools, churches, and the corporate world.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to remote meeting platform strain caused by more people working from home than ever, there is some audio dropout throughout this recording.

In this episode, Audrey, Lee and Kristie discuss:

  • How managers can implement a culture of more empathy and allowance of negative feelings in the workplace.
  • The difference between anxiety attack and full-​blown depression
  • Tips and habits to improve your self-​care during adversity and crisis
  • Tips on how to provide you and your family structure as you work from home.
  • Ideas on how to visit virtually with family and friends to stay connected and not isolate yourself.

"This is a time for leaders who do very well with boots-​on-​the-​ground, high crisis mentality to really shine. And for those who struggle, to really listen up and lean on those types of leaders within their organization who do well with that type of mentality."

– Kristie Knights
