a brighter Oklahoma starts with you
In 2022, we trained 1,496 mental health first aiders from over 80 organizations across Oklahoma.
“Talking about suicide - it brought up a topic that most don't want to speak about or know how to speak about.”
“It's helpful to see how a discussion can flow, how a person may still make mistakes or insert their own biases, but then to see how to effectively redirect yourself and the discussion.”
“[The instructor] was GREAT!!! Very funny but very real and passionate about the subject matter.”
