Community Education

Actively providing resources to local communities and education to all age groups.

Community education for a healthier, safer Arizona

 

Community Bridges empowers adults and youth with community education through preventive resources, training and workshops. Topics range from substance abuse, suicide and mental health, to other areas of behavioral health. Trained substance and suicide experts present in ways that meet and engage you and your community. As a result, our teams regularly work with schools, businesses, first responders and other members, equipping them with knowledge and tools to help save lives.

Community education supports health & wellness through awareness

Important issues covered include trauma-informed care, substance use disorder, mental health, opioid addiction, harm reduction, and suicide prevention. Through educational presentations and workshops, kids, parents, teachers, and other community members learn about these important topics and are better informed.

Bring preventive education to your community.
