It was an honor for Dr. T.C. Copper, Executive Director of the Su***de Prevention Training Institute, to participate in the North Tampa Chamber of Commerce's Pitch With a Purpose Breakfast as a member of the nonprofit panel.

The event provided a meaningful opportunity to introduce the Su***de Prevention Training Institute to Chamber members, share our mission of empowering individuals and organizations with life-saving su***de prevention education, and highlight the importance of building a community where everyone is equipped to recognize the warning signs and respond with confidence and compassion.

We are grateful to the North Tampa Chamber of Commerce for creating a platform that connects nonprofits with local business leaders and community partners who are committed to making a positive impact. Together, through collaboration, education, and awareness, we can strengthen our community and help save lives.

Thank you to everyone who attended, engaged in the conversation, and expressed interest in supporting our mission. We look forward to building new partnerships that advance su***de prevention and mental wellness throughout our region.

Our Executive Director, Dr. T.C. Copper, had the honor of presenting to the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 787, about the Su***de Prevention Training Institute's Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) workshop.

ASIST is a two-day, evidence-informed training that equips participants with practical skills to recognize when someone may be at risk of su***de, engage in a supportive conversation, and help create a plan that connects them with immediate safety and ongoing support.

It was a privilege to share how this life-saving training empowers community members, organizations, and Veterans to become more confident and prepared to intervene when it matters most. Thank you to the Vietnam Veterans of America for your commitment to supporting Veterans, their families, and the communities you serve. Together, we can build stronger networks of care and help save lives through education, awareness, and compassionate action.

The Su***de Prevention Training Institute was honored to participate in the Sgt. Anthony Muhlstadt Defender Ruck, joining active-duty military, Veterans, families, friends, and community members in a powerful demonstration of remembrance, resilience, and support.

This event serves as an important reminder of the sacrifices made by our service members and the critical need to support the mental health and well-being of our military community. We are grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside others who are committed to raising awareness, fostering connection, and preventing su***de.

Every step taken during the Ruck represented a commitment to ensuring that no military member feels alone. Together, we can build stronger communities, reduce stigma surrounding mental health, and create life-saving connections for those who need them most.

Thank you Tanya, and the participants, volunteers, and supporters who made this meaningful event possible. We are proud to be part of a community that continues to honor Sgt. Anthony Patrick Muhlstadt's legacy through action, compassion, and service.

Today, we proudly celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the very first Su***de Prevention Training Institute (SPTI) ASIST workshop participants!

Five years ago, a dedicated group of individuals stepped forward with a shared commitment to learning how to recognize su***de risk, provide support, and help save lives. Their willingness to engage in this important work helped lay the foundation for the growth of SPTI and the expansion of su***de prevention education throughout our community.

Since that first workshop, SPTI has offered 33 workshops and 373 participants have completed ASIST training, creating a stronger network of compassionate, informed individuals prepared to make life-saving connections when it matters most.

To our very first ASIST participants—thank you for believing in this mission from the beginning. Your impact continues to ripple throughout the Tampa Bay community and beyond.

Together, we continue building hope, strengthening communities, and saving lives.
