May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so in this episode we are holding space for an extremely important conversation regarding suicide. In this episode we have special guest Lisa Utzig-Schaffer of the Suicide Prevention Network. During our conversation Lisa shares some very important tools, considerations, and resources for someone who is experiencing these thoughts, or knows someone who is. We discuss best-practices, and important things to remember if we are having a conversation with someone who may disclose feeling this way.Suicide Prevention Network (El Dorado County): 775-783-1510National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1800-273-8255Crisis Text Line (Any crisis, NOT suicide specific): 741-741Black Line Project: 1800-604-5841Trevor Project (LGBTQIA+): 1866-488-7386One Conversation, The Podcast Where We Believe One Conversation Can Change A Life | www.liveviolencefree.org

Self-Compassion With Special Guest: Jen Kile, LMFT

The goal of this podcast is to hold meaningful and empowering conversations on subjects pertaining to relationship violence, assault, and abuse. As trained Prevention Educators, our day to day work is focusing on providing education on recognizing signs of unhealthy and abusive behaviors, and how to identify/provide resources for support in dealing with these issues. We also want these conversations to be a chance to provide self-empowerment by sharing out important concepts on how to take care of ourselves, especially so we can take care of others. This podcast is a place where we can extend these important conversations outside of our own communities, to educate, deconstruct, and come together in solidarity on these issues.
