This document presents a proposal for a professional development advocacy plan called "YES, WE CAN" aimed at providing support and education to men with a history of domestic violence in Mauritius. The program would use an interactive group format to teach emotional intelligence and communication skills. It discusses the prevalence of domestic violence in Mauritius despite existing interventions. The proposal argues that current programs have not fully addressed the root causes of violence by examining male socialization and development from a young age. A developmental approach is needed to understand how boys are discouraged from emotional expression which may later manifest as domestic violence in intimate relationships as adults.
Law enforcement leaders in Arizona warn that cutting children's health insurance will negatively impact public safety. They note that many youth deaths are due to preventable causes like accidents and violence. The leaders argue that proven therapies could help troubled youth but may not be accessible without insurance. Cutting coverage risks leaving thousands of children uninsured and increases the long-term costs of untreated behavioral and substance abuse issues.
The document is a grant proposal requesting $9,000 to fund a program aimed at reducing domestic abuse of women in Horry County, South Carolina.

Panel 5 - RESTORING JUSTICE IN OUR SCHOOLS: POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT APPROACHES TO THE DISCIPLINE GAP
Youth of color are disproportionately suspended from school, causing youth to miss critical time of instruction, evoke feelings of hopelessness, and contributing to the “school to prison pipeline.” This panel considered what research and practice tell us about dismantling the pipeline and promoting positive developmental outcomes for youth of color with a focus on youth-centered principles of restorative justice.
This document discusses resources for addressing domestic violence in later life (DVLL) and elder abuse. It introduces the Take Back Your Life project, which created an online "Solution Center" resource directory to raise awareness and help faith and community leaders assist older victims. Focus groups identified top concerns like stigma, lack of information, and limited resources. The Solution Center provides a searchable database of agencies and materials to train leaders. It aims to expand assistance and empower older adults to seek help for abuse.
This document discusses treating violence as a public health issue and contagious disease. It summarizes the Cure Violence approach, which aims to interrupt transmission of violence through detecting and interrupting conflicts, treating those at highest risk, and changing group and community norms. The approach identifies violence hot spots and highest risk individuals. It employs "credible messengers" from communities to de-escalate conflicts and change social norms. Evaluations found the Cure Violence model reduced shootings and killings in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City.
Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain, frequently as a result of widespread deprivations and constraints. These often violate women’s most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. Voice and Agency: Empowering Women and Girls for Shared Prosperity distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on such constraints facing women and girls worldwide, from epidemic levels of gender-based violence to biased laws and norms that prevent them from owning property, working, and making decisions about their own lives. Building on the landmark 2012 World Development Report, it focuses on several areas key to women’s empowerment: freedom from violence, control over sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership and control of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It explores the power of social norms in dictating how men and women can and cannot behave—deterring women from owning property or working even where laws permit, for example, because those who do become outcasts.
The report argues that policymakers and stakeholders need to tackle this agenda, drawing on evidence about what works and systematically tracking progress: This must start with reforming discriminatory laws and follow through with concerted policies and public actions, including multi-sectoral approaches that engage men and boys and challenge adverse social norms. Expanding opportunities and amplifying the voices of women and girls isn’t a zero-sum equation because gender equality conveys broad development dividends for men and boys, families, and communities. Conversely, constraining women’s agency by limiting what jobs they can do or condoning gender-based violence can severely hinder efforts to end poverty and boost inclusive growth. Finally, the report argues that more and better data are needed to measure progress and hold governments and development agencies to account.

This document provides an overview of HIV/AIDS in the Black community and the role of the Black Church in addressing the epidemic from a social justice perspective. Some key points:
- Black people are disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS and experience higher rates of infection, lower rates of knowledge of their status, less access to treatment, and higher mortality compared to other groups.
- There are many misconceptions about HIV/AIDS in the Black community, such as it only affecting gay men or being a non-issue now, that contribute to the epidemic.
- The NAACP aims to address HIV/AIDS as a social justice issue by collaborating with the Black Church, an institution that has historically supported
Admittedly, some work has been done with respect to domestic violence with as the trend continues to grow, the question must be asked, is enough being done?
This document summarizes a research paper on the individual, familial, and societal factors that lead to sex trafficking as well as the physical and mental health effects on victims. It discusses how health professionals are often the only providers that victims encounter while being trafficked, but many lack knowledge to properly identify and assist victims. The paper reviews literature highlighting common factors that increase vulnerability to sex trafficking such as poverty, abuse, and dysfunctional families. It also outlines the short and long-term health consequences for victims, including sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancy, and mental health issues. The document advocates for training health providers to recognize signs of trafficking and connect victims to necessary medical and social services.

This journal entry discusses the concept of first impressions through the example of Jane meeting the writer's family for the first time. The writer observes that Jane made a positive first impression on the family. She was described as beautiful, charming, friendly, talkative, knowledgeable, patient and a good match for the writer's uncle. Both the children and elder family members felt Jane was polite and liked having her around. Through her behavior and characteristics, Jane successfully created a good first impression on the whole family from the young to the old. In conclusion, first impressions are influenced by many observable factors and have a lasting impact on how people view and treat each other.
The relationship between information technology and the environment is mixed.

However, the author learned to take notes in class for deeper understanding from observing a classmate, showing social learning.
This document discusses the differences between waterfall and agile development approaches for SAP projects. It notes that it is not an "either/or" debate, as both approaches have advantages and neither is suitable for all situations. The document outlines some of the benefits of each approach, such as shorter time to market with agile but more extensive testing and change management with waterfall. It then discusses five fundamentals for becoming more agile with SAP: creating an enabling environment, building an agile development model, using smart bundling strategies, automating processes and shifting testing left, and focusing on culture change.
1. The document discusses two theories of social psychology: social facilitation and social loafing.
2. Social facilitation occurs when individuals perform better in competitive situations where their efforts can be identified. In contrast, social loafing occurs when individuals put in less effort on tasks where their individual contributions cannot be identified.
3. The author provides an example of experiencing both theories when working on a group project. Competition with other groups led to increased effort, while some group members loafed knowing others would make up for their lack of contribution.

Chong Chin Pin wrote a journal entry about optimism bias for a social psychology course. Optimism bias is when a person believes they will experience less negative events than others and that bad things will happen to other people, not them. For a class project, Chong was confident they could finish on time but ended up having to work through the night to complete it due to optimism bias causing them to neglect the importance of timely completion. On the day it was due, Chong was late to school after a car crash delayed their father who was driving them, as Chong's optimism bias led them to believe they would have enough time despite finishing late. Optimism bias can be good when based on positive attitudes but causes problems when stemming

Children and Families Forum: Suicide Prevention for Children and AdolescentsBy Liza Greville, MA, LCSWSocial Work TodayVol. 17 No. 5 P. 32
With the release of the Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why in March 2017, social workers from middle schools to colleges and universities across the country found themselves plunged into conversations with adolescents and young adults around topics related to suicide. While many mental health professionals objected strongly to the series, saying it contains harmful messages about the inevitability of suicide, the ability to achieve revenge through suicide, the absence of helpful others, and insufficient messages about the availability of help and support, most professionals acknowledged that, apart from these concerns, the series opened a space for conversation on a topic that is shrouded in stigma, fear, pain, and misunderstanding.
By having an accurate understanding of the scope of the problem, confronting myths and imprecise language, and using best practices in screening, intervention, and prevention, social workers have a critical role in helping children, adolescents, and young adults move through a suicidal crisis to emotional wellness.
Data on Suicide
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide was the 10th-leading cause of death for all ages in 2013. Suicide was the third-leading cause of death among persons aged 10 to 14, and the second among persons aged 15 to 34, though middle-aged adults accounted for the largest proportion of suicides (56% in 2011). The percentage of adults having serious thoughts about suicide was highest among adults aged 18 to 25 (7.4%), followed by adults aged 26 to 49 (4%), then by adults aged 50 and older (2.7%) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
The following were noted among students in grades nine through 12 during 2013:
• Seventeen percent of students seriously considered attempting suicide in previous 12 months (22.4% of females and 11.6% of males).
• 13.6% of students made a plan about how they would attempt suicide in the previous 12 months (16.9% of females and 10.3% of males).
• Eight percent of students attempted suicide one or more times in previous 12 months (10.6% of females and 5.4% of males).
• 2.7% of students made a suicide attempt that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or an overdose that required medical attention (3.6% of females and 1.8% of males) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).
New research presented in May 2017 at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting analyzed hospital admissions with a diagnosis of suicidal thoughts or behaviors and serious self-harm from 32 children's hospitals across that nation from 2008 to 2015. Researchers found the number of admissions has more than doubled during the past decade. The research found the largest increases among girls, and seasonal variations with the spring and fall having higher admission rates than summer (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2017 ...
The Jed Foundation was created after the son of the founders committed suicide in college. They are now a leading nonprofit focused on mental health and suicide prevention among college students. They work to increase awareness of emotional disorders, make help more accessible, and advocate for stronger campus health services. Their goal is to reduce distress and prevent suicide nationally. They achieve this through various programs that educate students, parents, and campus staff.

Social workers in the mental health field assess and treat individuals with mental, emotional, or substance abuse issues through therapies, case management, and prevention/education efforts. Concentrations include suicide prevention, especially for adolescents and youth, where suicide is a leading cause of death. Risk factors for suicide ideation include depression, low self-esteem, and lack of support systems. The author wishes to work on a macro-level in areas like policy, advocacy, research, and legislation to help at-risk groups like LGBT youth who are disproportionately impacted by suicide risks.
The Centenary Care Trust provides support to cancer patients and those with mental illnesses in Muzarabani, Zimbabwe. The Trust works with over 5,000 young people and local organizations to establish over 200 projects in the next 3 years to benefit mentally ill and cancer-affected communities. The Trust aims to rebuild confidence, independence, and optimism for recovering individuals and enable their reengagement in education and employment through various social, educational, and income-generating projects.

Abdul’Hafeedh bin Abdullah is a community health worker with the Multnomah County Health Department in Portland, Oregon who helps prevent violence. He became involved in gangs as a youth and was imprisoned for 8 years. While incarcerated, he transformed his life with faith, education, and mentorship. He now draws on his experiences to support at-risk youth. As a CHW, he works with a youth empowerment program called STRYVE to engage youth in identifying and addressing community safety issues. The youth identified a strip club near their community center as a risk factor and advocated to have it removed. Their efforts helped form a coalition to purchase the property for community use, demonstrating the potential for positive social

HIV/AIDS has been serious public health issue facing the city of Philadelphia for the last two decades. According the AIDS Activities Coordinating Office, there are approximately 30,000 individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Philadelphia (AACO, 2012). This average is slightly higher than other major cities in the United States. AACO states the most vulnerable population is young men who have sex with men of color (MSM) between the ages of 15 and 25. This young population makes up for 56% of all new diagnosis of in the city (AACO, 2012). It is imperative for Philadelphia Fight to stay innovative with their approach to tackling sexual health issues that face this city. One major way Philadelphia Fight is addressing is epidemic is through opening the Youth Health Empowerment Project (Y-HEP).

Canadian Erving Goffman coined this term
He wrote, “A total institution may be defined as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period of time together lead an enclosed formally administered round of life (Goffman, 1968: 11).
"Total institutions (such as prisons, boarding schools, psychiatric hospitals, concentration camps, etc. ) are distinctive and have much in common" (Goffman, 1968: 15) because, as Goffman points out, they depart from the basic social arrangements in modern western society "that the individual tends to sleep, play and work in different places with different co-participants, under different authorities and without an overall rational plan" (Goffman, 1968: 17).

Mary Lou Mastro – 2014 nominee for Modern Healthcare's Community Leadership Award.
The success of the healthcare industry depends on leaders who define themselves by leading efforts to change lives and contribute to their communities through their work. But many go above and beyond commitments central to their roles, reaching out to support causes that may be wholly unrelated to healthcare, but which build and sustain strong communities and the quality of life within them. Modern Healthcare's Community Leadership Awards was established to recognize these leaders while bringing attention to the worthy causes they support.

The passage discusses current understandings of ancient Middle Eastern dress based on evidence from wall art, sculptures, and pottery. Only a few actual pieces of clothing have survived from ancient times. Linen was commonly used, as flax cultivation began early in the region. Wool was less common, and silk-making had not spread to Egypt. Dyes were also slow to reach Egypt, so most clothing was white with color added through gemstones. Animal skins such as leather were also used and were sometimes just raw hides cured through tanning.

The interview discusses the challenges faced by individuals with co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders, and strategies for treatment and recovery. The greatest risk is preventable premature death if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Becoming actively involved in treatment can boost resilience. Patients report that accepting difficulties and not feeling alone are important for progressing in recovery. The media often overgeneralizes these individuals, while family support groups and integrated treatment of substance use and mental health issues can help.

4. letter from the faculty director and advisory board chair
FOREFRONT is seeking to significantly reduce suicides in Washington state and
then share lessons learned with other states. Achieving this goal will first require
creating a lasting social transformation. Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death
among Washington state residents and the 2nd leading cause of death among its
youth. The suicide rate is 14% higher in WA than the rest of the nation.
As the Wheel of Change illustrates, to create
lasting social transformation in any arena we
must work on changing hearts and minds,
behaviors, and social structures. In this annual
report, we are excited to share this Wheel of
Change—how Forefront is making suicide
prevention possible. With your support, here
are a few of the ways in which Forefront and its
many volunteers are working to change hearts
and minds, behaviors, and structures.
HEARTS & MINDS: Hopes and dreams,
thoughts and feelings, what we believe is pos-
sible or impossible; the ideas, perceptions and
beliefs that shape our experience.
Forefront is helping change the public conversation about suicide by actively shaping
news coverage on behavioral health and suicide. We educate professional and stu-
dent journalists on how to accurately and authentically report on behavioral health
and suicide. We arrange for journalists to speak with experts on suicide prevention.
We help individuals with lived experience tell their powerful stories with a prevention
and recovery focus.
Forefront offers care and support to individuals newly bereaved by suicide. We offer
them information, resources, and a partner to walk alongside on this journey of
healing.
BEHAVIORS: What we do and don’t do, our choices and habits, the norms and un-
spoken agreements by which we interact with others.
Forefront partners with Facebook to provide outreach tools for friends who are con-
cerned about friends on Facebook and for Facebook users who are posting threats of
self-harm and suicide.
Forefront trains thousands of behavioral health, school, and healthcare professionals
as well as hundreds of lay people in life-saving, relevant suicide prevention skills.
STRUCTURES: The external systems in which we live and work: the processes, prac-
tices and cultures of our schools, healthcare organizations, communities and society.
Forefront is working within high schools and institutions of higher education to
reduce the number of students at-risk for suicide who fall through the cracks and to
help schools care for students and staff in the aftermath of a death by suicide.
Forefront is instrumental in changing state policies to ensure that suicide prevention
is a priority within healthcare, veterans’ care, and school systems.
The Wheel of Change is a simple yet profound model for true, systemic change—
guiding us to work in an integrated way to shift our inner experience, our actions
and external realities. It is a road map for our transformation that is only possible
because of your support.

5. letter from the executive director
EACH OF US at Forefront is so appreciative of all of the generous support,
volunteer efforts, and numerous connections that members of the Forefront
community bring to our organization. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you.
And where we are is impressive. As a young organization founded in 2013, we have
made incredible progress in shaping public policy, supporting those impacted by
suicide’s loss, shifting the tone of media reporting, enhancing school and college
suicide prevention and response efforts, and providing high quality training to a wide
variety of professionals. This 2014-2015 annual report is organized around these five
major program areas.
Our second year of work has seen a significant increase in the number of grant and
foundation projects awarded to Forefront, high profile work with Facebook, expansion
of our internal capacity, and growth of our higher education programs.
I say “we” humbly here, having only joined the Forefront team in late April. The success
of our work thus far sits squarely on the shoulders of visionary co-founders Jennifer
Stuber and Sue Eastgard; our talented core team of Lauren Davis, Stephen Miller,
Katie Simmons, and Sue Lockett John; our volunteers and former colleagues; and our
amazing Advisory Board. Needless to say, I feel very fortunate to join such a distin-
guished group.
Thank you for your ongoing support and interest in our programs. We’re looking for-
ward to the year ahead. We’re also glad to make that journey with you.
Best regards,
Matthew Taylor

6. policy
FOREFRONT’S advisory board plays an important role in helping organize coali-
tions of stakeholders concerned about preventing suicide in Washington state to find
common ground on suicide prevention policies. As a result, structures are changing.
Washington state is now considered one of the most proactive states in the nation
with regard to the prevention of suicide.
A first in the nation, Washington state requires that its licensed mental health (EHSB
2366) and health care professionals (HB 2315) have training in how to assess,
manage, and treat individuals who are at risk for suicide. K-12 public schools are
becoming more fully prepared to prevent suicide (HB 1336).
On Thursday, April 23, 2015, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law SHB 1138 to create
a task force in suicide prevention across Washington state’s 54 college campuses.
The task force will examine current suicide prevention practices and make recom-
mendations for future systemic actions to prevent suicide on campuses.This task
force will build on the tremendous work that has been done on the University of
Washington’s campus as part of the Husky Help & Hope Initiative that was funded
in 2014 under the SAMHSA’s Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention Grant.
Forefront will be convening the taskforce and making the recommendations to the
legislature.
Dozens of volunteers concerned about suicide across Washington state, health care
providers and suicide prevention experts have made these laws possible.
HB 23662012 Requires licensed mental health professionals to
have training in how to assess, manage, and treat
individuals who are at risk for suicide
HB 13662013 Helps fully prepare K-12 public schools in
Washington State to prevent suicide
HB 23152014 Requires health care professionals to have training
in how to assess, manage, and treat individuals
who are at risk for suicide
HB 11382015 Created a task force in suicide prevention across
54 college campuses in Washington state

7. training
THIS YEAR, Forefront continued to change behaviors by offering training that
meets the legislative mandate passed in 2012. We offered 55 AMSR workshops
to 2,682 professionals. AMSR (Assessing & Managing Suicide Risk) is a 6-hour
workshop that showcases the 24 core competencies for handling the common
dilemmas that behavioral health professionals face in the process of trying to
help an individual at risk for suicide.
Overall, 94% of the community AMSR participants reported being satisfied with
the expertise of the trainer, and 90% would recommend this training.
We also offered AMSR to 116 social work graduate students. We believe that it is
important to have the knowledge and skills before you graduate and begin your
professional career!
In addition to AMSR, Forefront offered SafeTALK training to 300 participants. 73
people participated in a customized 1-hour recognition and referral training, and
43 participated in a customized 3-hour recognition, referral, and safety planning
training. Lastly, 50 people attended our Advocacy Day skills training and 24
attended the Education Day training.
The AMSR training was excellent, and it has
informed our practice on a day-to-day basis.
Our hope is to be able to have every new staff
member who ever joins us obtain the training.

8. mark torrance foundation service providers trainings
WITH a generous grant from the Mark Torrance Foundation, Forefront has worked to
provide no-cost suicide prevention training to frontline service providers working with
foster youth and youth experiencing homeless in King County. Youth experiencing
homelessness are at a much greater risk of suicide due to the very nature of their
traumatic situation. Tragically, many of these youth do not have the same access to
services and resources. Most also struggle to access hygiene products, food, housing
and therapeutic care. Instead, they often rely on the hard work of service providers,
who are not required to have suicide prevention training.
Forefront is working to provide additional suicide prevention tools to the incredible
service providers and agencies working on the frontlines of youth homelessness. We
have also been working closely with several agencies to build suicide prevention
protocols and procedures that provide an effective and consistent prevention,
intervention, and post-vention resource for staff and volunteers.
Forefront aims to continue training more of the thousands of youth service
providers and volunteers who are helping youth meet their basic needs. We would like
to offer more advanced training to key staff who can be an agency asset for not only
suicide recognition and referral, but also for suicide intervention.
105 Service Providers
working with foster youth and youth experiencing
homelessness in King County have completed a
3-hour safeTALK
suicide prevention training
This training has so much value in recognizing
and giving words to how to intervene on the front
lines. As someone who regularly intervened as
part of my job, I even learned new ways to word
things and how important those words are. I am
very interested in the next level of training.

9. campus & schools
FOREFRONT is working to change hearts and minds, behaviors, and structures on
campus and in schools. At the University of Washington, Forefront led Husky Help and
Hope (H3) stakeholders from across campus in developing a robust strategic plan for
comprehensive suicide prevention. In the second year of this SAMSHA Garret Lee Smith
Campus Suicide Prevention grant, H3’s accomplishments included:
CHANGING HEARTS AND MINDS BY:
* In collaboration with Huskies for Suicide Prevention and Awareness (HSPA), co-host-
ing the second annual H3 Walk, which attracted 400 participants and raised more than
$6,000;
* Getting a bi-weekly UW graduate student newsletter dedicated to suicide prevention,
which reached over 12,000 graduate students and program advisers; and
* Helping plan and execute Mental Health Awareness Week.
CHANGING BEHAVIORS BY:
* Training HSPA students to present Forefront’s newly developed one-hour suicide pre-
vention curriculum to their UW peers and local high school classes;
* Conducting a study on the efficacy of in-person versus online training for campus
faculty and staff; and
* Conducting safeTALK suicide recognition and referral trainings for UW students.
CHANGING STRUCTURES BY:
* Developing protocols for identifying and intervening with students at -risk and outlining
best practices for supporting the campus community in the aftermath of a suicide;
* Holding the first UW staff debrief to discuss student suicide deaths and recommend
improvement;
* Enhancing and standardizing suicide-related data collection across campus entities;
* Successfully advocating for UW to double their funding for the Suicide Intervention
Program; and
* Championing a Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) resolution calling on
the UW administration to prioritize suicide prevention and behavioral health.
At the secondary school level, Forefront received generous support from the Jolene
McCaw Family Foundation to initiate work with 14 public, private, and parochial high
schools in King County. The project will help the schools create comprehensive suicide
prevention, intervention and postvention (response after a suicide death) programming
and procedures. A yearlong series of on-site technical assistance with each school will
begin with a two day learning academy in September 2015.

10. media
FOREFRONT works with news media, website content, and social media to change
hearts and minds plus behaviors.
During 2014, the social media giant, Facebook, approached Forefront about helping
improve its response to posts about suicide. Forefront helped the company develop
resources for those who are concerned about friends posting about suicide, and those
who are posting about suicide themselves. The company launched these new tools on
its Compassion Research Day (pictured right) with the help of new promotional videos
developed by Forefront.
Here are a few of the ways Forefront helped change the public conversation about
suicide and prevention last year:
* It became the go-to resource for a growing number of journalists’ covering
suicide-related news and initiatives. In addition to scores of stories about its Facebook
collaboration, at least 22 published interviews, appearances, or op-eds featured
Forefront staff or affiliates.
* Forefront staff and allies led 4 workshops (3 for student journalists, and 1 for
volunteer advocates) in safe, responsible coverage of suicide.
* Insight Blog added 5 regular contributors and several guest writers with commentary
on news, research and issues.
* The communication team launched First Person, an online showcase for personal
essays on how suicide has affected individual contributors and their families.
* It acknowledged excellence by presenting its annual reporting award to Jacob Jones
of the Inlander, for two stories on the criminal justice systems and mental illness in
Spokane.
“Responsible media reporting is a
critical component in preventing
suicide...there is so much more to be
done.

a significant hearts and minds focus for Forefront. We provide “Cares” packages –
books and resource information, along with items of comfort, like chocolate and tea
– to individuals and families who are newly bereaved by suicide.
We also train volunteers to provide short term telephone support for recent loss
survivors. Our volunteers have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide and are
paired with someone with a similar loss relationship.
“Thank you so much for the care package.
Hearing from your group provided a bit of
comfort in this time of indescribable pain.
The tea and chocolate brought a smile,
some of your reading material, tears.

13. looking ahead
FOREFRONT’S JOURNEY to change hearts and minds, behaviors, and struc-
tures has been amazing thus far, but there is so much more to do.
Among many other activities, Forefront will:
1) EXPAND our policy and education outreach to address harm reduction issues such
as promoting safe storage of guns and medication during times of crisis;
2) WORK intensively with several rural communities to strengthen coordination
between schools, community coalitions, health care providers and law enforcement;
3) GROW the Forefront Cares program to train more suicide loss survivor peer support
teams and share more care packages across Washington;
4) BROADEN our coordination with colleges and universities across the state.
Our thanks to every member of the Forefront community for your support and interest
in our work. Together we are making a difference.
