I just got back from an amazing conference in New Orleans by Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) and one of the sessions I attended was all about stoicism to help deal with the negativity and daily challenges that Law Enforcement face. This quote sums up a lot of it! This is a great reminder for us all. And remember I’m here to help you learn how to change your mindset.

YOU always have the power, remember that.

This week is FIRST RESPONDER SU***DE AWARENESS WEEK!

How should this week be observed?

Tell others about the week.
Participate in awareness walks.
Host an event (like an awareness walk).
Let others know you will listen if they are feeling depressed or isolated.
Remind first responders that they are important to our community.
Learn the warning signs of su***de.
Share on social media accounts.
Read the latest articles on the progress that is being made.
Wear a shirt or ribbon to show your support.

Who created these days? These days were created by First H.E.L.P. in 2020.

Why? Su***de continues to outpace line-of-duty deaths, and we must recognize the emotional sacrifice made by first responders and their families. First H.E.L.P. (Honor, Educate, Lead, Prevent) wants to ensure we focus on this issue and never forget that first responders should be honored by the service they gave to their communities, their families are supported in the aftermath, and we encourage others to seek help when needed.

***deAwareness

Look for more from us on each day!

🚨 UPDATE: MISSING BATTLE BUDDY – PLEASE HELP 🚨

Thanks to the support of our community, we were able to uncover some additional information. It’s a complicated situation that we are still working through, but what we know right now is that Max, the Battle Buddy, is missing.

Max is a male husky with blue eyes and reddish fur. His coat may be shorter than a typical husky because he has been shaved before (we know, huskies should never be shaved, ever).

📍 Last known area: Charlotte, NC

👉 Important details:
• Max knows his name and will usually respond if called.
• Like many huskies, he may run if chased.
• The safest way to approach is to squat down low, call his name, and let him come to you.
• He is very treat-driven.

⚠️ Out of the 50+ Charlie Mike Battle Buddies we’ve matched with veterans through our program, this is the first time we have ever faced a situation like this. We are deeply concerned and need the community’s help.

‼️No questions asked — if you have Max or know where he is, we just want him back safe. A monetary reward may be available if needed.

We urgently need the Charlotte community’s eyes and ears to help get Max home safely. If you see him or have any information, please contact us immediately.

📞 Contact: 305-484-4335

CharlieMike.Org

Please share this post — every share brings us closer to finding Max.
