The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) presented Alonzo with the Mid-Cumberland Regional Award for her mental health advocacy during the organization’s statewide conference, hosted September 4th-5th as part of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. “Winning the TSPN Mid-Cumberland Regional Award is an expression of our commitment at Austin Peay State University to investing in the health and well-being of our students and community,” Alonzo said. QPR sessions have also been incorporated into APSU’s annual Peayple in the Community – Day of Service and certified dozens of volunteers. “When working in an acute healthcare setting, I noticed that some patients returned frequently with recurring health concerns,” she said.
