Make a difference today by taking the pledge and learning each step of the be nice.
be nice. is a mental health education, bully and suicide prevention initiative of the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan that creates a positive cultural change through simple daily actions. NEWC is supporting the implementation of be nice at City High School and at churches by promoting be nice.
The be nice. action plan – to notice, invite, challenge, and empower –
encourages individuals to challenge themselves and others to seek
appropriate professional help when they notice mental health changes or
concerns. This resource equips individuals in schools, businesses, faith
institutions, and communities with the knowledge and confidence to take
action when it comes to mental health and suicide prevention.

Our Community Listens believes in working towards a more human way to live and interact with others across the whole landscape of our lives. Visit their blog to learn communication, connection, and confrontation skills that can build stronger relationships between individuals, within organizations, and across the community.
