I was able to help launch one more incredible resource last week before my time with DHHS was finished. We launched a new version of the Live On playbook specific for service members, veterans, and their families. The Live On Military Playbook offers concise, engaging lessons featuring videos of veterans and service members sharing their experiences with suicidal thoughts and providing support to their peers. Each lesson take under 5 minutes to complete and is available on Instagram (@LiveOnUtah), with plans to expand to Facebook and YouTube. Please check it out! https://lnkd.in/gf9WA582

Jarvis says the counseling center can be magical. “You said something that piqued my interest. You said you do magic here. What about what you guys do is magic?,” I asked. "You know, I think what the magic is is when people realize they have within them, what they need," Jarvis said. She hopes to bring some of that magic on Saturday. Join us at Children's Home Society of Idaho tonight for Surivor of Loss Day memorial activities. https://lnkd.in/gh5Ea-h4

"Looking at youth, some of those risk factors are disturbances in sleep," Decker said. "When we have young people who are not getting the sleep that they need, especially if they're struggling with another type of crisis. Issues surrounding sexual identity and gender are huge. Eating disorders. Setbacks and perfectionism is something that we're really seeing in our youth. Social media really contributes to this. But it's more than just like the technology piece - it's connection." Connection can be a cure. Join us Tuesday night for Hope Lives: https://lnkd.in/gBeUHMyn
