In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by Larry Penton, an expert in personal safety, firearms safety, and critical incident management. Larry brings a wealth of information to the table and shares invaluable insights on how to stay safe in these real times when critical incidents seem to be on the rise.
Key Takeaways:
The Universality of Trauma:
Larry emphasizes that trauma is like cancer; it doesn’t discriminate based on your background or ethnicity. It only needs a living body to act, and its aim is to spread. This underscores the need for everyone to be prepared to deal with traumatic situations.
Seeking Help in Intimate Partner Violence:
When discussing seeking help in cases of intimate partner violence, Larry stresses the importance of available resources and organizations. These resources can offer shelter, safety plans, and support for those who are ready to escape abusive situations. He mentions organizations like PIDV and the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence, which can help people in similar situations.
Life-Saving Training:
Larry provides practical advice on the importance of learning life-saving skills. He encourages everyone to take CPR, first aid, and Stop the Bleed training, which can be crucial in times of accidents, emergencies, or violent, critical incidents. These skills can make a significant difference in saving lives.
Importance of Creating a Safety Plan:
Larry discusses the necessity of having a safety plan in place. He highlights the difference between cover and concealment, which is an essential distinction to understand when seeking safety in critical situations. He also touches upon strategies like “run, hide, fight,” which empower individuals to take action in times of crisis.
Mental health and trauma:
Mental health plays a pivotal role in violence prevention. Larry stresses the importance of seeking help when dealing with trauma. He addresses the significance of overcoming the stigma associated with mental health and the need to create a plan of action to escape from traumatic situations.
