October was a big month for trainings, with over 2,000 community members receiving training in either QPR, ASIST, or YMHFA. One of our goals for the fiscal year is training 1200 service providers, first responders, school based, counselors, military personnel, and healthcare providers; in the month of October alone we trained almost 1,400!

October was featured the introduction of our new Executive Director, Anna Sever. If you have not had an opportunity to introduce yourself please feel free to reach out to her at asever@tspn.org.
