Suicide prevention is a hard topic to consider at work. However, it is a human issue which means it becomes a work issue as well. Kevin Briggs and Kevin Berthia shared their story of about hope, resilience, and connection at a recent Veteran Resource Fair, hosted by the VA of North Florida/South Georgia. In 2005, Kevin Berthia (right) was going to jump of the Golden Gate Bridge and Kevin Briggs (left), was the California State Highway Patrol officer who stood alongside him for 92 minutes until he came off the bridge. After that, they didn't speak for over 8 years. Since their reconnection, they have been advocating publicly for suicide prevention both on their own and together. They also shared ways for people to be on the look out for signs of suicide, as well as how to help. If you yourself, or a friend or loved one, is in crisis, please be aware that the 988 crisis line is available 24/7/365. Simple call or text 988 and someone will be on the other end to help. We are immensely grateful for the strength of these two humans to share their story with such vulnerability and openness. They are changing lives by opening their hearts. #suicidepreventionmonth #youmatter #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans #ptsd #pts #tbi #mst #polytrauma #caregiver #caregiversupport #mentalhealth #moregooddaystogether #gratitude #empowerment #connection
