Supervisor Shirlee Zane shares her personal story regarding suicide and how it impacted her family, what she wants people to know about suicide today, why she believes the rates are slightly higher in Sonoma County, whether we’ve come any closer to real solutions since her husband’s passing, what she believes is needed from the state, country and federal agencies, and where you or someone you know can find local help:
The California HOPE Program (Helping Outreach Possibilities Empowerment) that provides outreach and counseling to those emotionally impacted by the Sonoma Complex Fires of October 2017. California HOPE is a federally funded program that can send crisis counselors to meet people wherever they are (at home, school, business, etc.) to provide crisis counseling, resource navigation, and disaster recovery education.
