It’s National Suicide Prevention Month, and our next guests are representatives from the Iowa Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Amara Huffine and Andrea Vignovich!  Join us as we discuss the role of ASFP in Iowa, organizing community and campus walks to raise awareness, suicide prevention trainings, and remembering that hope prevails. If you’re looking for an organization and a cause to support, look no further than AFSP.   *Quick Note: In the show, I misspoke.  I said QPR was Question, Persuade, and Respond.  The “R” stands for Refer.     If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please call 988.  Your story is not over.     Storytime: Hope Prevails   Special Thanks to: Amara Huffine Andrea Vignovich AFSP- Iowa Everyone who is working or has worked a 988 hotline Alex (my sound guru) Helena and Weston Fantz (of the band Not Jupiter) for the music My Wife and Daughter  You   AFSP-Iowa Instagram afsp.org (National Website) AFSP- Iowa Chapter Website   988lifeline.org  Call, text, or chat for help.    Instagram:  Oncetherewasapod Facebook: Once There Was a Podcast Podcast Email: oncetherewasapod@gmail.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/oncetherewasapod  Storytime Submission Link (requires a sign-in for security reasons): https://forms.gle/Qd4XCkrBxtBnJeRp9   Additional Audio and Music: Music by Helena and Weston Fantz (Not Jupiter) High School Crowd 1/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound
