To All our CISM members today marks one year Deputy Ken Prorok’s death while in the line of duty. Heather and I ask our team to continue to pray and support Ken’s family and his Moody County Sheriff’s Department family. Support our fellow team members Sheriff Wellman and Pastor Alan Blankenfeld. Send our thoughts and prayers to them, the Lake County Sheriff’s Dept, Coleman Fire, EMS and Madison Police Dept.

Today, we celebrate the importance of mental health and the power of recovery.

Remember, you're not alone in this journey. We must work together to create a world where everyone feels supported and cared for.

Do you know a first responder who would make a great addition to the Brookings Area Response Team but has not had the opportunity to participate in training? I agree, in-person is typically preferred. However, in-person opportunities do not come as often as we would like.

Be the peer who can help. You CAN learn CISM remotely! Participate VIRTUALLY with ICISF faculty on zoom from your own computer. Who's ready for this? https://icisf.org/remote-learning/

📚 It's time for Wednesday's Words!
You hear it all the time: stress causes heart disease; stress causes insomnia; stress is bad for you! But what if changing how you think about stress could make you happier, healthier, and better able to reach your goals? Combining exciting new research on resilience and mindset, Kelly McGonigal, PhD, proves that undergoing stress is not bad for you; it is undergoing stress while believing that stress is bad for you that makes it harmful. In fact, stress has many benefits, from giving us greater focus and energy, to strengthening our personal relationships.
