Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by committing to equity, justice, and wellbeing in all communities. Mental health is an essential part of that vision, and minority populations often face barriers to accessing care and support.

Our Mental Health Coach training equips individuals with practical, evidence-based skills to:
✨ Recognize signs of mental distress
✨ Respond with confidence and compassion
✨ Connect community members to professional care

By building a diverse network of trained Mental Health Coaches, we help ensure that every community—especially those historically underserved—has access to early support and hope.

Start your journey to become a Mental Health Coach today and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around you.

Our January Lunch and Learn on Prevention and Brain Health reminded us that protecting brain health is not just about avoiding illness. It is about building daily habits that strengthen how the brain functions, manages stress, and supports overall wellbeing. 🧠

During this session, participants learned how evidence-based habits contribute to brain health, how to protect brain health through everyday actions, and the science behind brain health and mental health connection.
