Service Industry Prevention and Wellness is an initiative designed to provide prevention education and wellness support to service industry workers including bartenders, stylists, servers, baristas, budtenders, nail artists, massage therapists, etc.

We plan to host a series of monthly events to provide education in topics like suicide prevention, mental health, domestic violence, financial wellness, etc. while also incorporating wellness elements such as mindfulness, grounding techniques, and social-emotional learning. The initiative aims to acknowledge, care for, and connect our community caregivers who are often the gatekeepers for individuals in distress or crisis.
