“I am one of HelpLine’s biggest admirers” said Susie Sexton of the Tomorrow Center. “I don’t know what we would do without you guys . . . really!”
Ms. Sexton is the Family and Civic Engagement Coordinator at the Tomorrow Center located in Cardington, Ohio. Since arriving at the Tomorrow Center in 2011 she has watched the community relationship with HelpLine flourish. “The free trainings offered are so important, especially for schools such as the Tomorrow Center where many of our students have had traumatic events in their past and some have engaged in self injurious behaviors. Programs such as the suicide awareness classes are very well received.” said Sexton, “The kids asked lots of questions and Emma was great! She was relaxed and spoke to them in a way that they could understand. She was non –judgmental and stimulated strong discussion. I couldn’t be more pleased!” Community partnerships like the one between the Tomorrow Center and HelpLine is just one of the many collaborations the hotline agency pursues within the central Ohio area. Speaking of Susan Hanson, Executive Director of HelpLine, Susie said, “Sue has such a generous spirit. She is extremely community minded. I have so much respect for Sue Hanson.” Ms. Sexton indicated that she looks forward to an ongoing relationship with HelpLine. “I really respect and admire an agency that engages community partnerships. That’s huge! I plan on asking them to return this school year. I’m looking forward to it!” – Susie Sexton
