The goal is to help people feel more prepared when someone around them may need support. Participants will learn how to recognize signs of concern, respond supportively, connect someone to appropriate resources, and practice self-care as someone who may support others in difficult moments.

His work focuses on increasing mental health literacy, awareness, and community preparedness.
