MEET THE TEAM
Our Do-Something is to help create safe people who then create safe spaces. We make it safe for others and empower them to Do-Something for their mental health and the mental health of their fellow first responders!
We support fellow responders—while creating allies at all levels in an organization—by focusing on role-appropriate takeaway action items. Join us and together we can Do-Something to:
-
End the silence
-
Change the culture
-
Eliminate the stigma
