To wrap Mental Health Awareness Month, Lynn McLaughlin of DandAlliance consulting explains the Emotional CPR training she offers through LEAVEN Fox Cities. Volunteers certified in eCPR staff the Warmline at LEAVEN. Another local warmline, at NAMI Fox Valley's Iris Place, is a "peer support" model, meaning those answering calls are or have also experienced mental health or substance abuse struggles. Lynn explains that warmlines are there to help, before a situation becomes a crisis.
