Up in Flames - Workplace Solutions

Abby is dedicated to inspiring community, moral courage and a new generation of great leaders by leading with FIRE. In her quest for workplace justice, she spent countless hours searching for resources and found none. With that realization, she set out to create the resources that were lacking. Abby now draws from her experience in leadership, as well as the wisdom she learned as a firefighter to coach others how to lead with FIRE in their lives, in the workplace and beyond. The little girls and boys who dream to be just like them depend on us sharing our experiences in hope of improvement. Since January of 2018 when my passion would no longer let me be silent for others, I had an overwhelming need to create a place of transparency and advocacy. Let's celebrate going UP in flames instead of down." -AbbyGo to AbbyBolt.com for more information on this and many other controversial subjects surrounding moral courage in the workplace and what it means to Lead with F.I.R.E.Email abby@upinflames.org if you have an experience you would like to share or are in need of a resource.

Covid19 & Domestic Violence - When Telework Hurts

April 16, 2020 • Abby Bolt

If you think someone is suffering from domestic violence near your home but does not want to get law enforcement involved, visit the hotline's website or give them a call at 1-800-799-7233. There are also chat or text services you can reach either through the website or by texting LOVEIS to 222522, should you not be able to speak safely.

The hotline is able to help anyone create a safety plan, whether they themselves are a victim/survivor or someone concerned about one.

RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline is also available at 1-800-656-HOPE or online.rainn.org 24/7. It's free and confidential for both victim/survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones, and they can also help with brainstorming safety planning.

Ultimately: Look out for others. Whether you're a victim/survivor or a supporter, you're not alone — and help is available. It's really important that we all help survivors and let them know, that even in times like these, there's still hope.

If you've experienced domestic or intimate partner violence, you can call the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Additional resources are available on its website.

If you have experienced sexual abuse, call the free, confidential National Sexual Assault hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673), or access the 24-7 help online by visiting online.rainn.org.
