Early Intervention... Crisis
and Suicide Prevention
For over one hundred years of
policing and one hundred fifty years of firefighting in the US, public safety
agencies have lost more officers and firefighters to suicide than to felons and
fires.
Albert Einstein said the
definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting a different result, yet thousands of first responders wrestle daily
with crisis and thoughts of self-harm unabated. What are employers,
administrators, employees, peers and unions doing proactively to change the
paradigm of first responder crisis?
Is there training available that
teaches how to recognize early indicators of potential employee distress and
how to sow the seeds of long term health rather than waiting for crisis?
Safe Call Now recognizes the need
for a condensed version of full day trainings on crisis topics. Using the
lessons learned from the award winning Indianapolis Model, Safe Call Now now
offers a 2 hour Early Intervention, Crisis and Suicide Prevention
presentation designed specifically for conferences and agency re-trainers.
