    This September, we honor and reflect on Suicide Prevention Month. This episode features a conversation with experienced hotline advocate and trainer, Andrene Baxter, about what advocacy looks like on a DV hotline, including accessibility, safety planning, assessing for risk, and providing support to callers who may be in crisis.

    Hotlines are a key way survivors of DV get connected to help, as well as a validating space for support, information, and access to resources.

    How can we support youth in having healthy relationships? What is it like to go into classrooms and talk about relationships with students? What even IS violence prevention work?

    Join us for a conversation with the Primary Prevention team at Women In Distress to learn about the work they do in schools and in the community to promote healthy relationships and change our world for the better!

    February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (#WearOrange), and with our theme this year of "Be Kind To Your Mind" we're highlighting the importance of youth mental health, including healthy relationships with themselves and others!
