 In Collin County, like everywhere else  across the country, we see issues related to mental illness.  Tragic events in the media highlight the deficiencies in our mental health system.  Services and treatment we need for these individuals are not always available contributing to the persistence of this ongoing issue.

Roadmaps for Recovery is the theme of this year’s event this is a great opportunity for education and networking as well as for local businesses across Collin County to support this effort to provide training and collaboration to find solutions to the mental health needs in Collin County. Please take a moment to review the sponsorship opportunities and join us in this endeavor.

This year’s speakers include:

 

Kevin Briggs is a retired Calif. Highway Patrol officer who spent more than 17 years patrolling the Golden Gate Bridge. During that time he encountered hundreds of people who were troubled and had lost hope. They were ready to jump off the bridge and end their lives.

Although s trained negotiator, Briggs also relied on his compassion, gentle voice, eye contact, and his innate ability to “listening to understand”. During his career, he encouraged more than 200 people not to jump, go over the bridge’s rail or come back to solid ground from where they had been standing precariously.

These challenging, but rewarding efforts earned him the nickname, “Guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge”. Retired, Briggs is now dedicating his life to promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention across the globe.
