Our team is setting up an on-call system to take calls from the coroner's office. We want the deputy coroners to always dial the same number and then whoever is on-call to receive that call. We would like to have a system that has programmable call forwarding so that it can be set-up in advance. Please share what your team is using and what you like and don't like about it.
Thank you in advance!

Is anyone running virtual support groups for survivors? If so, how often do you meet?
We have been doing it for the past few months. It usually varies, but 1-2 people have consistently popped in. It is very manageable (and is a good place for me to be able to get some of my other work done if no one does pop in that week).

What does your code of conduct say about the way volunteers represent your organization on scene? Specifically in regards to decals and bumper stickers on their personal vehicles or tattoos? We are needing to address this issue but not sure where to draw the line.

Hi Everyone,
Feel free to register for an upcoming virtual training on Sleep Health and Suicidal Behavior in Youth on February 28, 2025 from 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM EST hosted by the Traumatic Loss Coalition of NJ. The conversation will be held by Dr. Tina Goldstein exploring the research on sleep patterns, including insomnia, poor sleep quality, and irregular sleep schedules that may contributed to heightened risk factors for suicidal ideation and actions.

Hope to see you all there!

Has anyone come across this video series yet? There are a few different cuts 1 hour, 30 min and 15 min. I thought it was well worth the watch. This is the hour version: Talking OutLOUD: Teens & Suicide Loss, A Conversation. Copyright 2024 Rethink The Conversation.
Brett - Im just seeing this (holiday rush) - can't wait to dive in! The few minutes that I have previewed are already powerful. Always appreciate the additional resources.

What phone system/app do any of recommend for one shared number to be called out by LE? In our county Central Dispatch will be calling our On-Call Dispatcher. (This person will likely be on-call for a week at a time so we).
I've looked into Google Voice, Grasshopper, and ActiveAlert 911.
This is a great question. We don't use an app, but instead will use the transfer function on the phone if it needs to go somewhere else. In most cases, the phone is held in our state by one person, but if it needs to be picked up by someone else we just forward the calls to ring to that other number.
What have you learned about the other ones that you've looked into?
Now, this is just way too cool. Can't wait to check this document out...thanks for sharing!
