EP:195 Suicide Prevention, Crisis Intervention & Community Policing

<p>We&apos;re grateful to have Charles Stamper, a former Air Force member, law enforcement officer, and current Operations Manager for the Sergeant Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program, as our guest. Charles&apos; military service, coupled with his law enforcement experience, has given him a unique perspective on suicide prevention. His insights, drawing from his years in the Air Force and his current role with the Sergeant Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program, offer an eye-opening look into the world of crisis intervention.<br/><br/>In our discussion, Charles paints a picture of the Sergeant Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program&apos;s role in preventing crisis situations. He discusses the concept of Crisis Intervention Team Training (CIT), a cornerstone of community policing that promotes de-escalation and empathetic listening.<br/><br/>As we wrap up, Charles underscores the significance of the newly implemented 988 suicide prevention number and stresses veterans and all those struggling with mental health issues to reach out when they feel overwhelmed, depressed, lonely, or suicidal.  Join us in this extremely important conversation that touches so many.</p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/ComingHomeWell">Support the show</a><p>Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today&apos;s episode!
