2014-2015 Report to the Community
forefront: innovations in suicide prevention
Forefront advances innovative approaches
to suicide prevention through policy change,
professional training, campus- and school-
based interventions, media outreach, and
support for persons affected by suicide.
OUR MISSION
At Forefront, we know most suicides are preventable and that the time to act is now.
To reduce the suicide rate in Washington
State by twenty percent by 2020. Once
successful, Forefront will broaden its
outreach to other states where the rates
of suicide in the U.S. are the highest.
OUR GOAL
Everybody has a role to play in suicide
prevention. Through education, program
evaluation and system-level changes,
we can increase timely and appropriate
responses that can prevent many suicides.

letter from the faculty director and advisory board chair
FOREFRONT is seeking to significantly reduce suicides in Washington state and
then share lessons learned with other states. Achieving this goal will first require
creating a lasting social transformation. Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death
among Washington state residents and the 2nd leading cause of death among its
youth. The suicide rate is 14% higher in WA than the rest of the nation.
As the Wheel of Change illustrates, to create
lasting social transformation in any arena we
must work on changing hearts and minds,
behaviors, and social structures. In this annual
report, we are excited to share this Wheel of
Change—how Forefront is making suicide
prevention possible. With your support, here
are a few of the ways in which Forefront and its
many volunteers are working to change hearts
and minds, behaviors, and structures.
HEARTS & MINDS: Hopes and dreams,
thoughts and feelings, what we believe is pos-
sible or impossible; the ideas, perceptions and
beliefs that shape our experience.
Forefront is helping change the public conversation about suicide by actively shaping
news coverage on behavioral health and suicide. We educate professional and stu-
dent journalists on how to accurately and authentically report on behavioral health
and suicide. We arrange for journalists to speak with experts on suicide prevention.
We help individuals with lived experience tell their powerful stories with a prevention
and recovery focus.
Forefront offers care and support to individuals newly bereaved by suicide. We offer
them information, resources, and a partner to walk alongside on this journey of
healing.
BEHAVIORS: What we do and don’t do, our choices and habits, the norms and un-
spoken agreements by which we interact with others.
Forefront partners with Facebook to provide outreach tools for friends who are con-
cerned about friends on Facebook and for Facebook users who are posting threats of
self-harm and suicide.
Forefront trains thousands of behavioral health, school, and healthcare professionals
as well as hundreds of lay people in life-saving, relevant suicide prevention skills.
STRUCTURES: The external systems in which we live and work: the processes, prac-
tices and cultures of our schools, healthcare organizations, communities and society.
Forefront is working within high schools and institutions of higher education to
reduce the number of students at-risk for suicide who fall through the cracks and to
help schools care for students and staff in the aftermath of a death by suicide.
Forefront is instrumental in changing state policies to ensure that suicide prevention
is a priority within healthcare, veterans’ care, and school systems.
The Wheel of Change is a simple yet profound model for true, systemic change—
guiding us to work in an integrated way to shift our inner experience, our actions
and external realities. It is a road map for our transformation that is only possible
because of your support.

letter from the executive director
EACH OF US at Forefront is so appreciative of all of the generous support,
volunteer efforts, and numerous connections that members of the Forefront
community bring to our organization. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you.
And where we are is impressive. As a young organization founded in 2013, we have
made incredible progress in shaping public policy, supporting those impacted by
suicide’s loss, shifting the tone of media reporting, enhancing school and college
suicide prevention and response efforts, and providing high quality training to a wide
variety of professionals. This 2014-2015 annual report is organized around these five
major program areas.
Our second year of work has seen a significant increase in the number of grant and
foundation projects awarded to Forefront, high profile work with Facebook, expansion
of our internal capacity, and growth of our higher education programs.
I say “we” humbly here, having only joined the Forefront team in late April. The success
of our work thus far sits squarely on the shoulders of visionary co-founders Jennifer
Stuber and Sue Eastgard; our talented core team of Lauren Davis, Stephen Miller,
Katie Simmons, and Sue Lockett John; our volunteers and former colleagues; and our
amazing Advisory Board. Needless to say, I feel very fortunate to join such a distin-
guished group.
Thank you for your ongoing support and interest in our programs. We’re looking for-
ward to the year ahead. We’re also glad to make that journey with you.
Best regards,
Matthew Taylor

policy
FOREFRONT’S advisory board plays an important role in helping organize coali-
tions of stakeholders concerned about preventing suicide in Washington state to find
common ground on suicide prevention policies. As a result, structures are changing.
Washington state is now considered one of the most proactive states in the nation
with regard to the prevention of suicide.
A first in the nation, Washington state requires that its licensed mental health (EHSB
2366) and health care professionals (HB 2315) have training in how to assess,
manage, and treat individuals who are at risk for suicide. K-12 public schools are
becoming more fully prepared to prevent suicide (HB 1336).
On Thursday, April 23, 2015, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law SHB 1138 to create
a task force in suicide prevention across Washington state’s 54 college campuses.
The task force will examine current suicide prevention practices and make recom-
mendations for future systemic actions to prevent suicide on campuses.This task
force will build on the tremendous work that has been done on the University of
Washington’s campus as part of the Husky Help & Hope Initiative that was funded
in 2014 under the SAMHSA’s Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention Grant.
Forefront will be convening the taskforce and making the recommendations to the
legislature.
Dozens of volunteers concerned about suicide across Washington state, health care
providers and suicide prevention experts have made these laws possible.
HB 23662012 Requires licensed mental health professionals to
have training in how to assess, manage, and treat
individuals who are at risk for suicide
HB 13662013 Helps fully prepare K-12 public schools in
Washington State to prevent suicide
HB 23152014 Requires health care professionals to have training
in how to assess, manage, and treat individuals
who are at risk for suicide
HB 11382015 Created a task force in suicide prevention across
54 college campuses in Washington state

training
THIS YEAR, Forefront continued to change behaviors by offering training that
meets the legislative mandate passed in 2012. We offered 55 AMSR workshops
to 2,682 professionals. AMSR (Assessing & Managing Suicide Risk) is a 6-hour
workshop that showcases the 24 core competencies for handling the common
dilemmas that behavioral health professionals face in the process of trying to
help an individual at risk for suicide.
Overall, 94% of the community AMSR participants reported being satisfied with
the expertise of the trainer, and 90% would recommend this training.
We also offered AMSR to 116 social work graduate students. We believe that it is
important to have the knowledge and skills before you graduate and begin your
professional career!
In addition to AMSR, Forefront offered SafeTALK training to 300 participants. 73
people participated in a customized 1-hour recognition and referral training, and
43 participated in a customized 3-hour recognition, referral, and safety planning
training. Lastly, 50 people attended our Advocacy Day skills training and 24
attended the Education Day training.
The AMSR training was excellent, and it has
informed our practice on a day-to-day basis.
Our hope is to be able to have every new staff
member who ever joins us obtain the training.

WITH a generous grant from the Mark Torrance Foundation, Forefront has worked to
provide no-cost suicide prevention training to frontline service providers working with
foster youth and youth experiencing homeless in King County. Youth experiencing
homelessness are at a much greater risk of suicide due to the very nature of their
traumatic situation. Tragically, many of these youth do not have the same access to
services and resources. Most also struggle to access hygiene products, food, housing
and therapeutic care. Instead, they often rely on the hard work of service providers,
who are not required to have suicide prevention training.
Forefront is working to provide additional suicide prevention tools to the incredible
service providers and agencies working on the frontlines of youth homelessness. We
have also been working closely with several agencies to build suicide prevention
protocols and procedures that provide an effective and consistent prevention,
intervention, and post-vention resource for staff and volunteers.
Forefront aims to continue training more of the thousands of youth service
providers and volunteers who are helping youth meet their basic needs. We would like
to offer more advanced training to key staff who can be an agency asset for not only
suicide recognition and referral, but also for suicide intervention.
105 Service Providers
working with foster youth and youth experiencing
homelessness in King County have completed a
3-hour safeTALK
suicide prevention training
This training has so much value in recognizing
and giving words to how to intervene on the front
lines. As someone who regularly intervened as
part of my job, I even learned new ways to word
things and how important those words are. I am
very interested in the next level of training.

campus & schools
FOREFRONT is working to change hearts and minds, behaviors, and structures on
campus and in schools. At the University of Washington, Forefront led Husky Help and
Hope (H3) stakeholders from across campus in developing a robust strategic plan for
comprehensive suicide prevention. In the second year of this SAMSHA Garret Lee Smith
Campus Suicide Prevention grant, H3’s accom­plishments included:
CHANGING HEARTS AND MINDS BY:
* In collaboration with Huskies for Suicide Prevention and Awareness (HSPA), co-host-
ing the second annual H3 Walk, which attracted 400 par­ticipants and raised more than
$6,000;
* Getting a bi-weekly UW graduate student newsletter dedicated to suicide prevention,
which reached over 12,000 gradu­ate students and program advisers; and
* Helping plan and execute Mental Health Awareness Week.
CHANGING BEHAVIORS BY:
* Training HSPA students to present Forefront’s newly developed one-hour suicide pre-
vention curriculum to their UW peers and local high school classes;
* Conducting a study on the efficacy of in-person versus online training for campus
faculty and staff; and
* Conducting safeTALK suicide recognition and referral trainings for UW students.
CHANGING STRUCTURES BY:
* Developing protocols for identifying and intervening with students at -risk and outlining
best practices for supporting the campus community in the aftermath of a suicide;
* Holding the first UW staff debrief to discuss student suicide deaths and recommend
improvement;
* Enhancing and standardizing suicide-related data col­lection across campus entities;
* Successfully advocating for UW to double their funding for the Suicide Intervention
Program; and
* Championing a Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) resolu­tion calling on
the UW administration to prioritize suicide prevention and behavioral health.
At the secondary school level, Forefront received gener­ous support from the Jolene
McCaw Family Foundation to initiate work with 14 public, private, and parochial high
schools in King County. The project will help the schools create comprehensive suicide
prevention, intervention and postvention (response after a suicide death) programming
and procedures. A yearlong series of on-site technical assistance with each school will
be­gin with a two day learning academy in September 2015.

media
FOREFRONT works with news media, website content, and social media to change
hearts and minds plus behaviors.
During 2014, the social media giant, Facebook, approached Forefront about helping
improve its response to posts about suicide. Forefront helped the company develop
resources for those who are concerned about friends posting about suicide, and those
who are posting about suicide themselves. The company launched these new tools on
its Compassion Research Day (pictured right) with the help of new promotional videos
developed by Forefront.
Here are a few of the ways Forefront helped change the public conversation about
suicide and prevention last year:
* It became the go-to resource for a growing number of journalists’ covering
suicide-related news and initiatives. In addition to scores of stories about its Facebook
collaboration, at least 22 published interviews, appearances, or op-eds featured
Forefront staff or affiliates.
* Forefront staff and allies led 4 workshops (3 for student journalists, and 1 for
volunteer advocates) in safe, responsible coverage of suicide.
* Insight Blog added 5 regular contributors and several guest writers with commentary
on news, research and issues.
* The communication team launched First Person, an online showcase for personal
essays on how suicide has affected individual contributors and their families.
* It acknowledged excellence by presenting its annual reporting award to Jacob Jones
of the Inlander, for two stories on the criminal justice systems and mental illness in
Spokane.
“Responsible media reporting is a
critical component in preventing
suicide...there is so much more to be
done.

SUPPORTING SURVIVORS in the aftermath of a suicide death continues to be
a significant hearts and minds focus for Forefront. We provide “Cares” packages –
books and resource information, along with items of comfort, like chocolate and tea
– to individuals and families who are newly bereaved by suicide.
We also train volunteers to provide short term telephone support for recent loss
survivors. Our volunteers have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide and are
paired with someone with a similar loss relationship.
“Thank you so much for the care package.
Hearing from your group provided a bit of
comfort in this time of indescribable pain.
The tea and chocolate brought a smile,
some of your reading material, tears.

FOREFRONT’S JOURNEY to change hearts and minds, behaviors, and struc-
tures has been amazing thus far, but there is so much more to do.
Among many other activities, Forefront will:
1) EXPAND our policy and education outreach to address harm reduction issues such
as promoting safe storage of guns and medication during times of crisis;
2) WORK intensively with several rural communities to strengthen coordination
between schools, community coalitions, health care providers and law enforcement;
3) GROW the Forefront Cares program to train more suicide loss survivor peer support
teams and share more care packages across Washington;
4) BROADEN our coordination with colleges and universities across the state.

  • 1. 2014-2015 Report to the Community
  • 2. forefront: innovations in suicide prevention Forefront advances innovative approaches to suicide prevention through policy change, professional training, campus- and school- based interventions, media outreach, and support for persons affected by suicide. OUR MISSION At Forefront, we know most suicides are preventable and that the time to act is now. To reduce the suicide rate in Washington State by twenty percent by 2020. Once successful, Forefront will broaden its outreach to other states where the rates of suicide in the U.S. are the highest. OUR GOAL Everybody has a role to play in suicide prevention. Through education, program evaluation and system-level changes, we can increase timely and appropriate responses that can prevent many suicides. OUR VALUES

  • 4. letter from the faculty director and advisory board chair FOREFRONT is seeking to significantly reduce suicides in Washington state and then share lessons learned with other states. Achieving this goal will first require creating a lasting social transformation. Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death among Washington state residents and the 2nd leading cause of death among its youth. The suicide rate is 14% higher in WA than the rest of the nation. As the Wheel of Change illustrates, to create lasting social transformation in any arena we must work on changing hearts and minds, behaviors, and social structures. In this annual report, we are excited to share this Wheel of Change—how Forefront is making suicide prevention possible. With your support, here are a few of the ways in which Forefront and its many volunteers are working to change hearts and minds, behaviors, and structures. HEARTS & MINDS: Hopes and dreams, thoughts and feelings, what we believe is pos- sible or impossible; the ideas, perceptions and beliefs that shape our experience. Forefront is helping change the public conversation about suicide by actively shaping news coverage on behavioral health and suicide. We educate professional and stu- dent journalists on how to accurately and authentically report on behavioral health and suicide. We arrange for journalists to speak with experts on suicide prevention. We help individuals with lived experience tell their powerful stories with a prevention and recovery focus. Forefront offers care and support to individuals newly bereaved by suicide. We offer them information, resources, and a partner to walk alongside on this journey of healing. BEHAVIORS: What we do and don’t do, our choices and habits, the norms and un- spoken agreements by which we interact with others. Forefront partners with Facebook to provide outreach tools for friends who are con- cerned about friends on Facebook and for Facebook users who are posting threats of self-harm and suicide. Forefront trains thousands of behavioral health, school, and healthcare professionals as well as hundreds of lay people in life-saving, relevant suicide prevention skills. STRUCTURES: The external systems in which we live and work: the processes, prac- tices and cultures of our schools, healthcare organizations, communities and society. Forefront is working within high schools and institutions of higher education to reduce the number of students at-risk for suicide who fall through the cracks and to help schools care for students and staff in the aftermath of a death by suicide. Forefront is instrumental in changing state policies to ensure that suicide prevention is a priority within healthcare, veterans’ care, and school systems. The Wheel of Change is a simple yet profound model for true, systemic change— guiding us to work in an integrated way to shift our inner experience, our actions and external realities. It is a road map for our transformation that is only possible because of your support.

  • 5. letter from the executive director EACH OF US at Forefront is so appreciative of all of the generous support, volunteer efforts, and numerous connections that members of the Forefront community bring to our organization. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. And where we are is impressive. As a young organization founded in 2013, we have made incredible progress in shaping public policy, supporting those impacted by suicide’s loss, shifting the tone of media reporting, enhancing school and college suicide prevention and response efforts, and providing high quality training to a wide variety of professionals. This 2014-2015 annual report is organized around these five major program areas. Our second year of work has seen a significant increase in the number of grant and foundation projects awarded to Forefront, high profile work with Facebook, expansion of our internal capacity, and growth of our higher education programs. I say “we” humbly here, having only joined the Forefront team in late April. The success of our work thus far sits squarely on the shoulders of visionary co-founders Jennifer Stuber and Sue Eastgard; our talented core team of Lauren Davis, Stephen Miller, Katie Simmons, and Sue Lockett John; our volunteers and former colleagues; and our amazing Advisory Board. Needless to say, I feel very fortunate to join such a distin- guished group. Thank you for your ongoing support and interest in our programs. We’re looking for- ward to the year ahead. We’re also glad to make that journey with you. Best regards, Matthew Taylor Executive Director Forefront staff and volunteers on the set of King5 News
  • 6. policy FOREFRONT’S advisory board plays an important role in helping organize coali- tions of stakeholders concerned about preventing suicide in Washington state to find common ground on suicide prevention policies. As a result, structures are changing. Washington state is now considered one of the most proactive states in the nation with regard to the prevention of suicide. A first in the nation, Washington state requires that its licensed mental health (EHSB 2366) and health care professionals (HB 2315) have training in how to assess, manage, and treat individuals who are at risk for suicide. K-12 public schools are becoming more fully prepared to prevent suicide (HB 1336). On Thursday, April 23, 2015, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law SHB 1138 to create a task force in suicide prevention across Washington state’s 54 college campuses. The task force will examine current suicide prevention practices and make recom- mendations for future systemic actions to prevent suicide on campuses.This task force will build on the tremendous work that has been done on the University of Washington’s campus as part of the Husky Help & Hope Initiative that was funded in 2014 under the SAMHSA’s Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention Grant. Forefront will be convening the taskforce and making the recommendations to the legislature. Dozens of volunteers concerned about suicide across Washington state, health care providers and suicide prevention experts have made these laws possible. HB 23662012 Requires licensed mental health professionals to have training in how to assess, manage, and treat individuals who are at risk for suicide HB 13662013 Helps fully prepare K-12 public schools in Washington State to prevent suicide HB 23152014 Requires health care professionals to have training in how to assess, manage, and treat individuals who are at risk for suicide HB 11382015 Created a task force in suicide prevention across 54 college campuses in Washington state Bill signing with Forefront staff, volunteers, advocates and just a fraction of the many people that helped make this bill possible.

  • 7. training THIS YEAR, Forefront continued to change behaviors by offering training that meets the legislative mandate passed in 2012. We offered 55 AMSR workshops to 2,682 professionals. AMSR (Assessing & Managing Suicide Risk) is a 6-hour workshop that showcases the 24 core competencies for handling the common dilemmas that behavioral health professionals face in the process of trying to help an individual at risk for suicide. Overall, 94% of the community AMSR participants reported being satisfied with the expertise of the trainer, and 90% would recommend this training. We also offered AMSR to 116 social work graduate students. We believe that it is important to have the knowledge and skills before you graduate and begin your professional career! In addition to AMSR, Forefront offered SafeTALK training to 300 participants. 73 people participated in a customized 1-hour recognition and referral training, and 43 participated in a customized 3-hour recognition, referral, and safety planning training. Lastly, 50 people attended our Advocacy Day skills training and 24 attended the Education Day training. The AMSR training was excellent, and it has informed our practice on a day-to-day basis. Our hope is to be able to have every new staff member who ever joins us obtain the training. “ ”ELLEN B. TAYLOR, PH.D.

  • 8. mark torrance foundation service providers trainings WITH a generous grant from the Mark Torrance Foundation, Forefront has worked to provide no-cost suicide prevention training to frontline service providers working with foster youth and youth experiencing homeless in King County. Youth experiencing homelessness are at a much greater risk of suicide due to the very nature of their traumatic situation. Tragically, many of these youth do not have the same access to services and resources. Most also struggle to access hygiene products, food, housing and therapeutic care. Instead, they often rely on the hard work of service providers, who are not required to have suicide prevention training. Forefront is working to provide additional suicide prevention tools to the incredible service providers and agencies working on the frontlines of youth homelessness. We have also been working closely with several agencies to build suicide prevention protocols and procedures that provide an effective and consistent prevention, intervention, and post-vention resource for staff and volunteers. Forefront aims to continue training more of the thousands of youth service providers and volunteers who are helping youth meet their basic needs. We would like to offer more advanced training to key staff who can be an agency asset for not only suicide recognition and referral, but also for suicide intervention. 105 Service Providers working with foster youth and youth experiencing homelessness in King County have completed a 3-hour safeTALK suicide prevention training This training has so much value in recognizing and giving words to how to intervene on the front lines. As someone who regularly intervened as part of my job, I even learned new ways to word things and how important those words are. I am very interested in the next level of training. “ ”YOUTH SERVICE PROVIDER Forefront providing safeTALK suicide prevention training for Friends of Youth staff – Photo by Juliana Borges
  • 9. campus & schools FOREFRONT is working to change hearts and minds, behaviors, and structures on campus and in schools. At the University of Washington, Forefront led Husky Help and Hope (H3) stakeholders from across campus in developing a robust strategic plan for comprehensive suicide prevention. In the second year of this SAMSHA Garret Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention grant, H3’s accom­plishments included: CHANGING HEARTS AND MINDS BY: * In collaboration with Huskies for Suicide Prevention and Awareness (HSPA), co-host- ing the second annual H3 Walk, which attracted 400 par­ticipants and raised more than $6,000; * Getting a bi-weekly UW graduate student newsletter dedicated to suicide prevention, which reached over 12,000 gradu­ate students and program advisers; and * Helping plan and execute Mental Health Awareness Week. CHANGING BEHAVIORS BY: * Training HSPA students to present Forefront’s newly developed one-hour suicide pre- vention curriculum to their UW peers and local high school classes; * Conducting a study on the efficacy of in-person versus online training for campus faculty and staff; and * Conducting safeTALK suicide recognition and referral trainings for UW students. CHANGING STRUCTURES BY: * Developing protocols for identifying and intervening with students at -risk and outlining best practices for supporting the campus community in the aftermath of a suicide; * Holding the first UW staff debrief to discuss student suicide deaths and recommend improvement; * Enhancing and standardizing suicide-related data col­lection across campus entities; * Successfully advocating for UW to double their funding for the Suicide Intervention Program; and * Championing a Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) resolu­tion calling on the UW administration to prioritize suicide prevention and behavioral health. At the secondary school level, Forefront received gener­ous support from the Jolene McCaw Family Foundation to initiate work with 14 public, private, and parochial high schools in King County. The project will help the schools create comprehensive suicide prevention, intervention and postvention (response after a suicide death) programming and procedures. A yearlong series of on-site technical assistance with each school will be­gin with a two day learning academy in September 2015.

  • 10. media FOREFRONT works with news media, website content, and social media to change hearts and minds plus behaviors. During 2014, the social media giant, Facebook, approached Forefront about helping improve its response to posts about suicide. Forefront helped the company develop resources for those who are concerned about friends posting about suicide, and those who are posting about suicide themselves. The company launched these new tools on its Compassion Research Day (pictured right) with the help of new promotional videos developed by Forefront. Here are a few of the ways Forefront helped change the public conversation about suicide and prevention last year: * It became the go-to resource for a growing number of journalists’ covering suicide-related news and initiatives. In addition to scores of stories about its Facebook collaboration, at least 22 published interviews, appearances, or op-eds featured Forefront staff or affiliates. * Forefront staff and allies led 4 workshops (3 for student journalists, and 1 for volunteer advocates) in safe, responsible coverage of suicide. * Insight Blog added 5 regular contributors and several guest writers with commentary on news, research and issues. * The communication team launched First Person, an online showcase for personal essays on how suicide has affected individual contributors and their families. * It acknowledged excellence by presenting its annual reporting award to Jacob Jones of the Inlander, for two stories on the criminal justice systems and mental illness in Spokane. “Responsible media reporting is a critical component in preventing suicide...there is so much more to be done.

  • 11. forefront caresforefront cares SUPPORTING SURVIVORS in the aftermath of a suicide death continues to be a significant hearts and minds focus for Forefront. We provide “Cares” packages – books and resource information, along with items of comfort, like chocolate and tea – to individuals and families who are newly bereaved by suicide. We also train volunteers to provide short term telephone support for recent loss survivors. Our volunteers have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide and are paired with someone with a similar loss relationship. “Thank you so much for the care package. Hearing from your group provided a bit of comfort in this time of indescribable pain. The tea and chocolate brought a smile, some of your reading material, tears. FOREFRONT CARES PACKAGE RECIPIENT 44 12 8 Forefront Cares packages sent new FF Cares volunteers joined the 12 active volunteers from last year newly bereaved survivors were paired with a trained volunteer for a total of 27 telephone support sessions

  • 13. looking ahead FOREFRONT’S JOURNEY to change hearts and minds, behaviors, and struc- tures has been amazing thus far, but there is so much more to do. Among many other activities, Forefront will: 1) EXPAND our policy and education outreach to address harm reduction issues such as promoting safe storage of guns and medication during times of crisis; 2) WORK intensively with several rural communities to strengthen coordination between schools, community coalitions, health care providers and law enforcement; 3) GROW the Forefront Cares program to train more suicide loss survivor peer support teams and share more care packages across Washington; 4) BROADEN our coordination with colleges and universities across the state. Our thanks to every member of the Forefront community for your support and interest in our work. Together we are making a difference.
