Bringing Change
Our strategy is to prevent suidcie in our community by giving presentations on "The Know Five Signs" and "Healthy Habits," from the international organization The Campaign to Change Direction's. These presentations create common community language, and help people recognize the signs of emotional distress in someone, or themselves, connect people to helping resources, and remind people the importance of Healthy Habits of emotional well-being,
​
To date, we have provided free education to thousands of community members and partners, students, buisinesses and churches. If you or your organization would like to schedule a free presentation, please contact us!

"The goal of the Campaign to Change Direction [our educational intiative] is to change the culture of mental health so that all of those in need receive the care and support they deserve. The Campaign encourages everyone to pay attention to their emotional wellbeing – and it reminds us that our emotional well-being is just as important as our physical well-being. We provide a tool, the Five Signs of Emotional Suffering and the Healthy Habits of Emotional Wellbeing, so that we all have a common language to identify when someone is suffering and how we can stay emotionally healthy."
