Team Hope

Ken Walters’ daughter, Emily, recently completed the Chicago Marathon as a member of Team Hope. The team honored and raised sustaining funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Raising awareness, encouraging open conversations, and reminding people they are not alone, all make meaningful difference. The Three C’s of suicide crisis response

Connection – Reach out.  Listen without judgment.  Make the person feel understood and valued.
Collaboration – Talk about stressors. Work together. Investigate and identify potential solutions.
Choice – Empower the individual. Give them a sense of control. Involve them in decision-making for their care and recovery.

Yours is the human condition. As you suffer, we can come to understand.
