Alaina and Peyton: The Suicide Awareness Project

moving the podcast – interview from June 10, 2014

~~~

Episode 28. Alaina and Peyton are working on a school project about suicide awareness, a subject which, in Alaina’s words, “a lot of people don’t like to talk about because it’s a harsh topic. So we figured, why not us?” Listen in as they talk about their project, what it means to them and why they care so much.

A&P Icon

“How much can a school do to prevent cancer? But there’s still support and awareness about it. You can’t prevent it. You can’t prevent cancer. You can’t prevent somebody from committing suicide. But you can raise awareness.”

Jaime Moran, Executive Director of RAASAP

moving the podcast – interview from June 3, 2014

Episode 27. If you get a DUI in Virginia, you have to go through the Alcohol Safety Awareness Program before you can get your license back. Jaime talks about the program, how it works and what about her job makes “every day worth doing what you do”.

Jaime Icon

“You’re never cured. It’s just like a person that has cancer is never cured… The difference is that people feel sorry for somebody who has cancer, but you don’t feel sorry for somebody that has an alcohol or drug problem.”
