Half a Sorrow Foundation

THIS!!!!

So we started to ask for feedback on the talk done by our executive director Dennis Gillan Blown away would be putting it mildly---see for yourself, and then ask your organization for permission to bring us in to talk mental health. You will not be disappointed! Book a talk here: https://lnkd.in/gbB2xitz Let's go! #mentalhealth

We are published…again

We are so lucky at the Half a Sorrow Foundation to have a vision of our directors Dennis Gillan come to life. For years Dennis has been talking about the benefits of having a Camo Hat Club (TM) group for his own mental health, and with a lot of help from FUEL for brands. Richardson, and an assist from Mossy Oak, we present the Camo Hat Official Hat. To get a hat, you have to start a club. What is the Camo Hat Club? It's a men's group that promotes real conversations, safe spaces, and bonds of friendship for participants of all ages. Or it's a place to break break and get out of the house---your call! To learn more or to join a club, go here: https://lnkd.in/g6JJDJac I can help you set one up and YOU need one. If you are a guy, you think you don't need one, but you do. Men represent 80% of all suicides, and we need ways to connect with each other. This is a very simple way to connect. Very simple. #suicidepreventionmonth #mentalhealth #camohatclub

If you see my social media posts, you may have picked up that I've been on the road lately. I went to Texas twice for some self improvement and business development, and I feel compelled to let you know how those trips came about and how our foundation, The Half a Sorrow Foundation supported the trips. I am the executive director of the foundation, and I take spending seriously, which is a kind way of saying I am cheap, and here are a few ways we made these trips happen: 1. I used frequent flyer miles for both trips. Do not tell the wife:) And both trips went off with out a hitch---thanks American Airlines Summer travel can be a little tricky with the weather, but both of these trips were blessed. 2. For the Long Term Survivors of Suicide Summit in Austin, I was a breakout session presenter, which allowed me to cut the registration fee in half! Great meeting, and thanks to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for helping me to heal. 3. In Austin, I stayed at a hotel down the street where I paid with points and cash, had to walk uphill both ways every day:) Thanks IHG Hotels & Resorts for a great stay in Austin! 4. For the Dallas trip for the Greek University speakers retreat, I stayed in a yurt outside of the team AirBNB. No tears here---it was so comfortable, and so affordable! Thanks, Michael Ayalon, M.S.P. ??for the idea!! 5. Ubered to the meetings and got a free ride to the airport on the way back. Hey folks at Uber is Ubered a word? I felt the need to tell you all this, because when you contribute to our foundation, I want you to know that I appreciate it and I will watch every cent!
