BREAKING THE SILENCE 

TIME FOR CHANGE

Save the date, it’s time to make a change in public safety. Way too long this topic has been swept under the rug or blatantly ignored and it’s time to fix it. Come out for a fun day of speakers ranging from testimonies from current and previous public servants of their life experiences and also speakers on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of fellow peers and also ways to cope and heal yourself. Also there will be on site vendors, lunch provided, and a chance to fellowship with others. Spread the word and feel free to share! Also coming soon T-shirts will be available for purchase.
