From our feed

Waiting until someone is in crisis is too late.

Prevention is the job. So follow along for training dates, Plymouth County CISM events, photos and the occasional reminder that you’re not alone in this.

Waiting until someone is in a suicidal crisis to begin prevention is like waiting until a code is called to make sure the code cart is readyWaiting until someone is in a suicidal crisis to begin prevention is like waiting until a cardiac arrest to learn CPRWaiting until someone is in a suicidal crisis to begin prevention is like waiting until after you have been shot to put on your vestWaiting until someone is in a suicidal crisis to begin prevention is like waiting until a house is on fire to install smoke alarms
