Health and Well-being

BRAVE supports a variety of services that help to promote healthy emotional, mental, and physical well-being based on participants and communties’ feedback and surveys.

Upcoming Events

In an era of social media, AI-generated content, and 24-hour news cycles, knowing what to believe – and who to trust – has never been more consequential. With midterm elections on the horizon, join us for an honest, community-rooted conversation about how misinformation and disinformation shape civic participation, and how communities can cut through the noise to make informed, empowered decisions at the ballot box and beyond.

Following the dialogue, we’ll enjoy some powerful words by local Spoken Word Artists that will share their gifts and talents to talk about democracy, belonging, and civic engagement, as we approach an election season.
