SPFPP Episode 155: Vivent Intervention & the Importance of Inclusion

I’ve been tested at this non profit organization prior to its name change and I hope that this and upcoming episodes will encourage people to seek out these kinds of places because they are doing it RIGHT ya’ll. The Director of Prevention Services, Jon Martin, sits down with me masked up and 6 feet apart in order to discuss the importance of diversity on staff when providing the customer service experience especially in regards to something as intimate as sexual health. Where this ties into SPFPP is that I mentioned how when people who had suicide ideation shared their struggles with me, I couldn’t empathize. Since starting the podcast, people have reached out and said that finding someone who relates to them in an episode has been super healing for them. Vivent Health is formally St. Louis Effort for AIDS and they are part of a much larger national network, and you can find them at www.viventhealth.org.
