Just like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and it is the most widely taught gatekeeper training in the world. The mission of QPR training is to provide innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention methods to help empower all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know. This is not an easy training topic to digest, and at at times uncomfortable and even painful to hear. That said, I'm grateful for the instruction and this opportunity to learn more about what every person can do help reduce suicidal behaviors. 💚 #mentalhealthawarenessmonth | #learninganddevelopment | #workplacetraining

I attended an interesting presentation today by lorilei williams for the Resilient Advocates Collective.    They talked about systems theory and addressed a number of complex concepts I was not familiar with.   They talked about how intake workers sometimes suffer more than others in organizations that help victims of trauma.    Lorilei mentioned that intake staff:   1. Have to listen to the suffering but don't often get the opportunity to more directly help alleviate it. 2. Are often people of color who have might overlap with the clients, sometimes having suffered similar trauma themselves. 3. Often have to deal with rough treatment from others in the organization, including the organization's lawyers.    One part of the solution that was mentioned is giving intake staff a greater voice in how their work is designed.    I learned a lot today and look forward to learning more.  #LawyerWellBeing
