We help you provide your people with the information, tools and support to maintain a psychologically safe community.
Organizations We’ve Worked With:
They wonder…
Where do we start?
Do we even have a problem?
Will we expose ourselves to liability?
Will we make things worse?
How much will this cost?
Don’t worry, we’ve got your back.
For the last two decades, Dr. Sally has brought the science and strategy to the effort of building resilient communities where we live, work and learn. Our team has partnered with several fortune 500 companies, state agencies, military branches and professional sports unions.
We get it. Leaders are often confused and overwhelmed when trying to choose the right mental health/suicide prevention program.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT…
What Other Groups Do…
Offer one-time presentation with a great storyteller that “raises awareness” but not much else.
Offer an “Employee Assistance Program” or other community resource but have no idea what’s involved or if it’s any good.
Offer an on-line or one-off “training” that does not provide opportunities for skill building.
Understand suicide prevention only through a medicalized mental health disorder framework.
Believe only mental health professionals can make a difference.
Use canned, off-the-shelf approaches.
Rely only on so-called “experts”.
What We Do…
We bring the stories, science and strategy and help organizations build a comprehensive approach.
Walk organizations through a mental health resources audit process.
Offer a stratified training program at the basic and advanced levels and reinforce skill-building over the long-term.
Understand suicide and so-called mental health issues are often driven by environmental “psychosocial hazards” and that the environment may need as much if not more intervention that the person in distress.
Believe everyone plays an important role in saving lives from suicide.
Develop customized strategies that feel by, about and for the community.
Empower communities to take informed action and build internal capacity.
