Communications 

FirstLink celebrated our Annual Luncheon 50’s style in honor of our 50th year! We celebrated virtually while looking back at memories over the past years and heard from Katherine Kiernan, CEO of Aspire Reality,  who graciously shared her inspiring story of recovery.

Due to COVID-19, FirstLink was challenged with the inability to host our 12th Annual FirstLink Breakfast in person. This year our supporters experienced our breakfast virtually as two nationally renowned speakers Jodee Bock and Mark Lindquist highlighted our Love Letter Campaign. Mark reads an emotional Love Letter from a mother of a veteran who had lost her son to suicide and Jodee talks about their personal experiences with FirstLink as a volunteer many years ago.

FirstLink’s initiative Love Letters, are messages to loved ones who are no longer with us as a result of suicide. Our goal for these letters is to help friends and family heal after the death of a loved one, as well as provide people who are struggling with thoughts of suicide a source of light and hope.

During COVID-19 it’s hard to know where to turn, and telehealth can be a great resource for those who are struggling with addiction. These options make it easier than ever to reach out for help, while still in the comfort and safety of your own home.
