Welcome to this episode of ENROUTE I’m Joseph Brigandi.
On this episode we interview the multitalented Dr. Olivia Johnson the founder of the Blue Wall Institute.
The Blue Wall Institute consults with first responder agencies on needs assessments for training and education programs as well as furthering research on first responder suicide.
She’s the mind behind the concept of The Fatal 10 which examines the most significant factors and perhaps the predictive factors of suicidality not only within the first responder community within every community and social group.
Her paradigm shifting research is essential in helping us change the ways we think about suicide more globally as a community and on a society level.
Her research cuts across the professional disciplines of public safety and is equally relevant in public and private corporations, and school systems.
If your organization has experienced violence or suicide or you are trying to be proactive and prevent these things from happening, you can benefit from the research and contribution to the body of knowledge Dr. Johnson and the Blue Wall Institute offers us.
In this episode she’s going to explain why she believes our current understanding of suicide is dead wrong and she going to challenge us to dig deeper for a better understanding of this terrible phenomenon.
Please join me in welcoming the, dedicated, passionate talented and controversial Dr. Olivia Johnson to this episode of ENROUTE.
