Older Women and female veterans are dying at an alarming rate. It’s time we make changes.In recent years, with the growth of older women who are dying from alcohol use disorder, Linda has focused more on reaching those who are the least likely to reach out for help: older professional women of faith.Addiction is everywhere! In her book “Dopamine Nation,” Dr. Anna Lemke talks about the pervasive problem we have with addiction to everything from alcohol and drugs to chocolate and social media. In concert with these issues is mental illness, which at times triggers the compulsion toward self-soothing and at other times is caused by it.

We know you do not have it easy. Whether you are a lawyer, a judge, a police officer, fire firefighter, EMT, medical personnel, a veteran, mental health or any other kind of provider that works to keep us safe, there are challenges and stressors to deal with. Linda is concerned about the threats on our court professionals whose lives are in danger, and PTSD is prevalent.These talks will help you to overcome stress, prevent negative ways of coping, and help to reduce recidivism in those you are charged to help. Linda has trained the Chief Justices in the State of Wisconsin as well as staff at the Department of Corrections, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Justice, and she has worked with veterans for over 25 years.
