First Responder Center for Excellence’s Post

'Changing the narrative on suicide' is this year's powerful World Suicide Prevention Day theme. Changing the narrative on suicide is about shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding and support. By providing accessible, responsive suicide prevention services that are informed by lived experience, we're starting the conversation with our community. 🗨️ We're continuing that conversation with our staff by ensuring training opportunities in suicide awareness, trauma-informed care, and culturally sensitive care. 💬 Every conversation, no matter how small, opens the door to better cultures of support. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #SuicidePreventionServices #StartTheConversation
