Suicide Prevention/Intervention techniques when working with Veterans workshop, Wed., Feb. 17

Slide1
You are invited to attend a workshop on Suicide Prevention/Intervention techniques when working with Veterans.  The event is:

Wednesday, February 17 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. (you may arrive or leave early if needed) in room 1402.

Please plan on attending this important training!!  Contact me with questions: Kathy Cook, ext 4544.

Below  is a bio on one of the presenters (please note I attended a two-day workshop Rebecca hosted last year, and it was one of the most informational presentations I have attended in many years!  I left with a great deal of relevant and useful information I have already put to good use!!)

I am a WA Certified Peer Counselor and Army Veteran, with a background in mental health awareness and suicide prevention. I have extensive experience with direct crisis and suicide intervention, and spent several years answering these calls on the crisis hotlines. Now I teach others these skills through a variety of workshops and classes. I live with managed depression and PTSD, faced my own suicide ideation when I was medically discharged, and have lost several close friends to suicide. My life has been uniquely shaped by suicide and mental illness and my goal is to use my personal experiences to help others navigate similar situations. I am now the Suicide Prevention Program Manager for the WA National Guard and continue to volunteer with Veterans in the community. I have an open book, open door policy; I am always happy to share my story and you can always contact me for any reason. If I don’t have the answer you need, I will find someone who does.

Respectfully,
Becca

CPR and AED Training Available for Shoreline Employees, Fri., Feb. 19

Would you know what to do in a cardiac or breathing emergency? The right answer could help you save a life. With a mixture of classroom and hands-on learning, Shoreline Fire Department Medics will begin providing a 2-hour course to give you the skills to potentially save a life.

Consider these facts:

    • There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at work
    • Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical system personnel results in only 5-7% survival.
    • Paramedics can take eight to 12 minutes to arrive, but someone suffering sudden cardiac arrest needs help immediately
    • 75% of all out-of-hospital heart attacks happen at home

AEDs in the workplace save lives. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. A bystander with access to an AED can greatly improve the chance of survival. The college has recently purchased 8 new AED machines, for a total of 12. Learn where they are on campus and how to use them.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2016 – 1:30-3:30pm, Rm 3002
The course, free to SCC employees, will include a certification card. The training is voluntary, requiring supervisory permission to attend. Classroom size is limited, and your pre-registration is required. Wear comfortable clothing. If a class is full, you will be placed on a wait list for a cancellation or coming class.

To register call or email Darlene Carlson or Robin Blacksmith in Safety & Security :

Darlene – 206-546-4633; Dcarlson@shoreline.edu
Robin – 206-546-4503; Rblacksmith@shoreline.edu
