It is estimated that 19.5 million men and women have served in the U.S. military - the horrific truth is that many come home bearing not only the wounds of combat, but the emotional, physical and psychological effects of sexual assault they've suffered during their time of service to our country.

To speak more about this, we invite sexual assault advocate Jess Teresi, who will share more about why so many members of the military never report being a victim, as well as how non-military members can better support their loved ones who may have experienced some form of sexual assault.

If you or a loved one is looking for a anonymous and confidential support please refer to safehelpline.org

In today's episode we invited our friend Amy O'Donahue, Domestic and Sexual Assault Officer for Ashland and Bayfield Counties to weigh in on the recent case of Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old female who went missing and whose remains were found after traveling cross-country with her fiance Brian Landrie (now also deceased).

Amy's experience working with victims in sensitive crimes lends insight into some of the red flags from the bodycam footage taken from an encounter Gabby and Brian had with police about a month before Petito was reported missing.

Amy then shares about her commitment to supporting victims through court proceedings, and a bit about her work with the indigenous population - which can often be overlooked in the public eye.

Amy lastly stresses the importance of public testimony in these domestic and sexual assault cases - she encourages the public to be aware of the signs, and to offer themselves as a witness which goes a long way in supporting a victim's testimony.

Today’s repeat episode is the very first Earrings Off episode from two years ago. Sadly, this subject remains relevant and heart-wrenching. Just this week, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill announced on World Mental Health Day, that they were  canceling classes. A UNC-Chapel Hill administration representative noted that in the wake of two student suicides in the past month, the university was "taking a moment to acknowledge and reflect on the seriousness of mental health illness and the challenges we face as we wrestle with the stress and pressures of our world today." There continues to be an elevated suicide rate among college-aged students. Today’s discussion will share insight on how the black community too is impacted by suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. They can be reached at 800.273.8255.

The postpartum period presents new parents with a massive identity shift and an overwhelming flood of sudden changes. It’s important we talk about this and acknowledge that having a newborn is hard. While about 20% of mothers experience a PMAD, there is also a lesser talked about, yet still common situation that can occur. 

1 in 10 new fathers or non-birthing partners experience some form of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder within the first year after the birth of their child. In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I will dispel the myth that PMADs only affect mothers, the importance of preparing for this possibility ahead of time, and what you can do to support you partner (mom or dad) if you think they need help.

Emotional abuse, verbal abuse, and domestic violence are on the rise, especially among young people. The risk of falling into an abusive relationship is greater than ever.

There are obvious red flags to avoid in a prospective lover, such as angry, controlling, possessive, jealous, or violent behavior. Unfortunately, most abusers are able to mask these tendencies in dating. By the time many people notice the obvious red flags, they're already attached to an abuser, which makes it much harder for them to leave the relationship.

YOU’RE DROWNING!

#171: Daily Mentoring with Trevor Crane on GreatnessQuest.com

SUMMARY
What would you do if you approached a drowning person?

In any life-saving situation, be it the swimming pool or ocean or wherever, NUMBER ONE: you have to take control of the situation.

The drowning person is in a sheer panic, and you need to break their pattern by doing WHATEVER IT TAKES… and often-times, that means smacking them right in the face.
And if you don’t? They’ll bring you down with them.

How about you?
In your life, where are you flailing about like a drowning person?
My suggestion? Give yourself a sharp, “smack in the face,” and break that pattern!
