Brave Journeys LLC
Brave Journeys LLC is a woman owned small business (WOSB certified) that seeks to improve access and understanding of the complex topics of mental health, suicide prevention and the intersection of schools and mental health.
Many schools are out of compliance with suicide prevention laws and lack resources to create tools and train staff on topics of mental health and suicide prevention. Brave Journeys offers skills, knowledge and support to school districts, organizations (both for-profit and non-profit), as well as government entities.
​
With over 20 years of experience, Brave Journeys has developed programs to address systemic concerns related to suicide prevention and mental health. These programs are data-driven and intentionally crafted with equity, systems integration, and usability in mind.
