Mental Health Safe Space
Mental Health Safe Space is a training and a movement. Focused on eliminating the stigma that surrounds mental illness. So that individuals and families can get the help and support they need.
Mental Health Safe Space provides FREE 90-minutes trainings to businesses, government employees and residents with a focus on downtown Tucson for 2014.
Participants leave the trainings with:
- know the facts – a better knowledge of mental illness
- learn the signs – ways to identify potential mental health issues
- provide help – resources to offer as support in various situations
Mental Health Safe Space seeks to create “Stigma Free Zones” where educated and compassionate community members prevent discrimination and misunderstanding and improve public safety.
