Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and safeTALK are both appropriate for all members of the community regardless of prior experience or training. They share the premise that most people who have thoughts of suicide are struggling with pain in their lives, and that through their words and actions, invite help to stay alive. ASIST is also appropriate for professionals of all disciplines to enhance their skills.

Hoops for Health was an energizing evening of community conversation that explored the challenges experienced by athletes, changing the culture to encourage and value reaching out for support when needed, knowing where to turn, and recognizing how sports can enhance wellness. Discussion topics included how mental health is overlooked in sports and how can we support athletes, breaking down stigma and educating parents and coaches on emotional wellness.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Wednesday, June 20th as we welcomed summer under the open sky at our mega-yoga event, Get On Your Mat For Mental Health on Court Street in White Plains.
