Remember to Take the Safer Suicide Care Workforce Survey

Please take the Safer Suicide Care Workforce Survey as soon as possible. Our goal is to have 100% staff participation. This will give us a baseline of where we are at as an organization and show us the areas that need attention and support. Encourage your teammates also to complete the survey. As we move forward, you will be hearing more and more about this model.

Together we can provide safer suicide care. 
Bus Training
There is a scheduled bus training for Thursday, June 16, at 1 pm. This consists of boarding a MATS bus, viewing the Herman/Ivory terminal, traveling a specific route, showing certain locations on this route, dos/do nots of the bus, and questions/answers. It will last approximately 1.5 hours. These trainings are open to everyone who is interested. Each training has 10 openings. Please send your first name and last initial to Shannon Woodwyk to sign up.
Muskegon's Pop-Up Youth Poetry Show
Incredible poets and teaching artists Gemini Da Poet and G Foster II aka Autopilot of The Diatribe are here to work with the young people of Muskegon to help them tell their stories through poetry and performance. Sessions will include viewing and discussion of poems by renowned spoken word poets, writing prompts and activities, and one on one editing help! Lunch will be provided.
