We are excited to share our conversation with Hunter Moen. Our long-time listeners will remember that Hunter conceived and is one of the original hosts of Boom Goes the Stigma. Hunter is now the QPR training specialist at Lines for Life. QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) is an evidence-based suicide prevention training program.

During this episode, we reminisce on the early days of the podcast, take a deep dive into exploring QPR's strengths and identifying its areas of growth, and discuss the support Lines for Life's training department has for QPR trainers.
