Denise

I am a passionate results-focused leader with over 40 years of experience and a track record of exceeding goals in retail, financial and non-profit industries. I understand the importance of delivering results and developing strong teams.

I entered the non-profit world in 2012, then after the death of my son, I founded a non-profit organization - Franklin County Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors dba: LOSS Community Services. LOSS exists to be an instillation of hope to the bereaved by suicide. Under my leadership over 5,000 loss survivors were provided support through the LOSS Team model, Support Groups, Companioning, and In-Touch programs.

I am the co-owner of Postvention Consulting, LLC and the Founder & Director Emerita of LOSS Community Services. I equip and support fellow postvention champions to develop and implement suicide postvention programs locally and at a state level throughout the world.

Denise's CV

Robbie

I have had a multifaceted career working in television, printing, and other marketing related industries. I am also a Bible teacher and have served as an associate pastor.

This changed in August of 2012, when I lost my stepson, Drey, to suicide. Since then, I helped Denise start LOSS Community Services in 2014 to bring hope to others who had experienced such a tragedy.

While there, I served as a Postvention Coordinator, focusing on the marketing and technology needs of LOSS Community Services, and as an On-Scene Responder, Companion, and Support Group Facilitator until 2022.

I am now the co-owner of Postvention Consulting, LLC. Along with my wife Denise, I equip and support fellow postvention champions to develop and implement suicide postvention programs locally and at a state level throughout the world.
