💙 Voices of Change: He’s Back. Some people s 💙 Voices of Change: He’s Back. Some people serve behind the scenes. Others step forward when they’re needed most. Dr. Gene Edwards is back. After serving two full terms on Brave Step’s Advisory Board, Dr. Edwards is now stepping into a new role, working directly with survivors and continuing his commitment to recovery and support in our community. With more than a decade of experience in counseling, psychotherapy and behavioral health consultation, Dr. Edwards brings a depth of knowledge shaped across mental health, educational and administrative settings. His work has included college student mental health, clinical leadership, cultural competency, diversity and inclusion and social justice, all areas that strengthen the care and compassion survivors deserve. His return reflects something powerful: A continued belief in this mission and the people we serve. We’re grateful to welcome Dr. Edwards back in this new capacity and honored to have his expertise and heart supporting survivors on their recovery journeys. 💙 #VoicesOfChange #HealingInCommunity #TraumaInformedCare #StrongerTogether #BraveStep

💙 Education Is Prevention Did you know? Surviv 💙 Education Is Prevention Did you know? Survivors of sexual violence are significantly more likely to experience suicidal thoughts than the general population. This connection is why awareness and action matters. Many people who struggle with suicidal thoughts never say the words out loud. But there are often signs, and when we know what to look for, we can help create pathways to support and safety. That’s why Brave Step is committed to building a community where no one suffers in silence and where we look out for one another. 💙 Join us May 14 for QPR Suicide Prevention Training We’ve teamed up with Ericka Ellis-Stewart to offer QPR — Question, Persuade, Refer, a two-hour virtual training designed to help everyday people: • Recognize warning signs of suicide • Respond with care and confidence • Connect someone to the help they need No experience needed, just a willingness to show up for the people around you. Because one conversation can save a life. 📅 May 14 | Virtual Training 🔗 Register today and help build a community of care. https://bravestep.org/qpr-suicide-prevention-training/ #EducationIsPrevention #SuicidePrevention #QPRTraining #CommunityCare #BraveStep
