Rocky Mountain Short Takes on Suicide Prevention: Trauma Informed Care with Leah Harris, M.A.

26 July 2017

At the 2017 Bridging the Divide conference here in Denver we caught up with Leah right after her keynote address, "How I Went from Wanting to Die to Loving Life: A Resilience Journey". In this podcast Leah expounds on Trauma Informed Care and her thoughts on Zero Suicide. This is a great summertime length podcast at 12 minutes.

On her website, Leah describes herself wonderfully, "I am a mother, survivor, and a storyteller working for cultural shift in how we understand and respond to emotional distress, mental health, trauma, addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and suicide. I believe in redefining health as a social justice issue."
