About BSBB
The Be Sensitive, Be Brave (BSBB) trainings infuse culture and diversity throughout foundational workshops on suicide prevention and mental health. Community members learn to act as eyes and ears for mental health and suicidal distress, and to connect individuals to help or support.
BSBB workshops are 2-hour interactive workshops that can be delivered or taken online or in person, by an experienced and caring community trainer. They are designed for helpers or all ages: children, adolescents, adults, & older adults.
