Support for Historically At-Risk Populations: From Striving to Thriving with Taneeza Islam
Description
Taneeza Islam, Executive Director of South Dakota Voices for Peace, a Sioux Falls based nonprofit whose aim is to dismantle bigotry and racism targeting refugee, immigrant, and Muslim communities, is on the show to talk about how SDVFP's services help to support our work of prevention, intervention, and postvention of suicide, among a population at great risk, especially in South Dakota.
Using the The CDC's seven strategies for preventing suicide found in their technical package for suicide prevention, to guide our work, we asked Taneeza to think through the work that SDVFP does to strengthen economic supports for the communities she serves and how we can do more by working together, rather than in silos.
