S3E9: Peer Support at Goodwill, Suicide Prevention Month, and Why Secondhand September

Ready for an episode packed full of resources, events, and a success story? September’s episode is longer than usual but we couldn’t not share about all the Good that’s happening at Goodwill.

What’s Good, Goodwill? Hosts Heather and Michelle sat down with Bryan Stanfill, Goodwill’s Director of Behavioral Health and Wellness to talk about Goodwill’s upcoming Peer Support Specialist, Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and Goodwill’s Goodlife and SupportLinc programs.

Listen to hear about all the event happening at Goodwill in September. Find out why you should try to choose secondhand first not just in September but every day.

Learn about our South Hill Community Trunk or Treat and how you can register to be a sponsor or participate as a trunk.

Finally, be inspired by Star’s success story. Star found support in finding a new job at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane, Washington.
