I am now officially QPR Gatekeeper Certified after attending su***de prevention training at ArtStart in Rhinelander, hosted in partnership with Aspirus Health.
As the founder of Silent No More Initiative, this was not optional for me. It was necessary.
Survivors of trauma face significantly higher risks of depression, self-harm, and su***de. We cannot advocate for survivors without also being equipped to recognize crisis and respond appropriately.
QPR stands for: Question. Persuade. Refer.
It is an evidence-based su***de prevention training that teaches community members how to: • Identify warning signs
• Ask directly about suicidal thoughts
• Encourage professional help
• Connect individuals to resources
This is how we build safer communities.
Not with silence.
Not with assumptions.
Not with fear of “saying the wrong thing.”
But with education. Preparedness. Action.
If you or someone you love is in crisis, the National Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 at 988.
And if you have the opportunity to attend a QPR or CALM training — take it.
Being a gatekeeper can save a life.
We will not be silent.
And we will not be unprepared.

After my recent heavy news post, I wanted to share something important:
How I protect my mental health.
Back in 2004, I watched a news story about a 4-year-old girl killed by stray gunfire while sleeping in her bed. It broke me. I felt helpless. Trapped in fear for our kids and our world.
So I made a choice.
I stopped watching the news. Not because I didn’t care. Because I cared too much.
Instead, I focused on what I could do.
I became an advocate. A protector. A voice.
I learned. I spoke up. I showed up.
I’ve taught alongside psychologists, formerly incarcerated people rebuilding their lives, and my own sister.
I’ve stood with parents who lost children due to daycare negligence.
I’ve trained trainers, social workers, and police.
I’ve volunteered, walked for su***de prevention, led community trainings, and joined hard conversations.
That work led me here: The Catharsis Effect. And now, Silent No More Initiative.
This is how I fight despair.
Not by doom-scrolling. By doing.
By loving my people hard. By speaking when it’s uncomfortable. By standing with those who feel invisible.
I can’t fix everything. But I can do something.
And so can you.
Will you join me in this movement?
Are you ready to get loud too?

🚨 Let’s Talk About This. 🚨
At the start of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin released its annual homicide report—and the numbers are devastating.
📈 Domestic violence deaths in Wisconsin rose from 85 victims in 2023 to 99 victims in 2024.
That is a record high.
Many of these homicides were not sudden or unpredictable.
They involved documented warning signs we know are linked to lethal violence:
Stalking
Strangulation
Death threats
Prior use of a weapon
These are red flags.
These are moments where intervention, support, and accountability matter.
Behind every number is a person.
A family.
A community forever changed.
Silence does not protect people.
Awareness alone is not enough.
We have to listen, believe, support, and act—earlier and louder.
💬 Let’s talk about it.
💜 Let’s refuse to normalize these numbers.
🔥 Let’s keep saying their names, even when it’s uncomfortable.
If you or someone you love is experiencing abuse, you are not alone—and help exists.

We want to take a moment to publicly thank Megan at Sundari Consignment Boutique for an incredibly generous donation to Silent No More Initiative by The Catharsis Effect, Inc..
This donation will directly support our Board of Directors in obtaining Trauma-Informed Training—a step we believe is not optional, but essential.
If we are going to show up for survivors with integrity, care, and accountability, we must be educated, prepared, and deeply aware of how trauma impacts the body, the mind, and the healing process. This training helps ensure that every decision we make, every space we hold, and every person we serve is met with compassion rather than harm.
Community support like this doesn’t just fund programs—it shapes the foundation of how we do this work.
Thank you, Megan, for believing in this mission and helping us build something safer, stronger, and more intentional. 🖤
This is how change begins—together.
