Happy Fall (For Most of Us)...

  • Sep 21, 2022

While most of us are heading into some beautiful weather, our friends in the Southeast have some rainy days ahead!


Perfect time to remind all who may get this inclement weather (Hello, Florida!), to be sure to double check that your property is marked active for ELA/FEMA bookings!



In follow up to Septembers regional calls, your ADOS team looks forward to seeing some leads from your GSR’s. Friendly reminder to be sure to have the lead sheets sent printed and at your desk and starting the West Edge training with your newer GSR’s.


Remember, it’s quality not quantity of leads. You are the best example to your team in encouraging these leads. A lot of great leads calling for a rate quote, sitting in your competitor’s lot or walking right through your door. Please help them recognize those opportunities, jot information down and involve your sales team. We are here to assist you all in securing more business!


We appreciate it and please let your respective ADOS know if you need any further information or assistance in getting the teams comfortable with the sales and GSR lead process!

National Suicide Prevention Month

We Can All Prevent Suicide


Understanding the issues concerning suicide and mental health is an important way to take part in suicide prevention, help others in crisis, and change the conversation around suicide.


Hope Can Happen

Suicide is not inevitable for anyone. By starting the conversation, providing support, and directing help to those who need it, we can prevent suicides and save lives.

We Can All Take Action

Evidence shows that providing support services, talking about suicide, reducing access to means of self-harm, and following up with loved ones are just some of the actions we can all take to help others.

Crisis Centers are Critical

By offering immediate counseling to everyone that may need it, local crisis centers provide invaluable support at critical times and connect individuals to local services.

Know the Risk Factors

Risk factors are characteristics that make it more likely that someone will consider, attempt, or die by suicide. They can't cause or predict a suicide attempt, but they're important to be aware of.

  • Mental disorders, particularly mood disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and certain personality disorders

  • Alcohol and other substance use disorders

  • Hopelessness

  • Impulsive and/or aggressive tendencies

  • History of trauma or abuse

  • Major physical illnesses

  • Previous suicide attempt(s)

  • Family history of suicide

  • Job or financial loss

  • Loss of relationship(s)

  • Easy access to lethal means

  • Local clusters of suicide

  • Lack of social support and sense of isolation

  • Stigma associated with asking for help

  • Lack of healthcare, especially mental health and substance abuse treatment

  • Cultural and religious beliefs, such as the belief that suicide is a noble resolution of a personal dilemma

  • Exposure to others who have died by suicide (in real life or via the media and Internet)

Know the Warning Signs

Some warning signs may help you determine if a loved one is at risk for suicide, especially if the behavior is new, has increased, or seems related to a painful event, loss, or change. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these, seek help by calling the Lifeline.

  • Talking about wanting to die or to kill themselves

  • Looking for a way to kill themselves, like searching online or buying a gun

  • Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live

  • Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain

  • Talking about being a burden to others

  • Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs

  • Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly

  • Sleeping too little or too much

  • Withdrawing or isolating themselves

  • Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge

  • Extreme mood swings
