- Caregivers learn more about suicide prevention[]
- Caregivers learn how to talk to young people about healthy relationships
- People who witness sexual harassment or violence learn how to intervene[]
- People run better programs to help prevent individuals from returning to prison[]
- Healthcare providers address unrecognized biases
