Announcing The Elliot Strickland Lecture: A Powerful Narrative of Hope and Transformation!
Join us for an extraordinary talk as we unravel the heartfelt journey of transformation sparked by tragedy. The Elliot Strickland Lecture, presented by the CEO of The OLLIE Foundation, unveils a groundbreaking approach to de-escalating conversations in suicidal crisis.
You will be moved by the tragedy and poignant tale of Elliot Strickland, whose suicide at 25 propelled the CEO on a quest for change. Discover how, just days later, speaking with another family facing a similar crisis ignited a spark of inspiration.
Through this deeply personal narrative, you will hear the genesis story of OLLIE's revolutionary method grounded in solution-focused conversation, conflict resolution and goal-setting techniques that we have found to be powerful interventions in times of despair.
Key Highlights:
-Hear the gripping story behind The Elliot Strickland Lecture
-Learn about the innovative approaches to suicide intervention
-Gain practical insights into conflict resolution and goal-setting
Here is some of the amazing feedback from delegates who attended the last Elliot Strickland Lecture:
"Absolutely - a masterpiece in terms of content, the way it was organized and presented words to do justice you are a class act."
"Awesome, Debi! Thank you! Thank you Thank you Debi for such a wonderful presentation and all the work you do. Delivered with such a calm and reassuring voice."
"This was a wonderful talk. The topic is so close to my own experience 43 years ago that I cannot talk about it. So on two levels I appreciate your talk: 1) Introducing TPs as a viable option to avoid common options that can have devastating unintended effects (e.g., drugs and hospitalization), and 2) the most powerful lesson in TOC conflict resolution and goal setting that I have ever experienced."
"Goosebumps, Debi! Such good work! So true. Tremendous!"
* Please note- this session is suitable for ages 16+*
