The Culture of Mental Health Resilience Toolkit includes four books and companion resources designed to reduce the risk of mental health challenges and promote well-being. It helps workplaces, families, and communities build a culture of resilience by mobilizing:

• Individual initiative
• Peer support
• Leadership engagement
• An uplifting social climate

Unlike most approaches that focus on problems after they appear, the Toolkit emphasizes prevention. Healthy lifestyle choices and supportive environments can—and should—play a central role in addressing today’s mental health crisis.

The Four Books

• Cultivating Connections — Strategies for creating climates of trust and openness in workplaces, households, and communities where individuals thrive together.
• I Flourish — A self-help guide exploring 27 proactive attitudes and behaviors that reduce risks and enhance well-being.
• Better Together — Eight practical skills for assisting coworkers, family, and friends in achieving proactive mental health goals.
• We Flourish — Tools for managers, HR, and wellness professionals to foster supportive, mentally healthy workgroup cultures.

Together, these resources provide a new approach to prevention and flourishing, equipping individuals and organizations with practical tools to strengthen resilience at every level.

The Safer Together Solution (STS) brings neighbors together with the local police to dramatically reduce crime and violence. STS is a culture change toolkit for city governments, police departments, and district attorneys’ offices. STS is based on sound social science methods that quickly and efficiently address emerging public safety concerns at the neighborhood level.

STS is based on the following successful programs:

• The Clean Community System, which has successfully been applied in over 1,000 cities worldwide since 1976.
• The Faith & Blue/Movement Forward initiative, operating in over 2,000 cities.
• Research developed by the National Policing Institute on best policing practices across the country.

The STS toolkit includes:

• Culture surveys, worksheets, guides, white papers, and PowerPoint templates that can be quickly tailored to a neighborhood’s goals.
• Access to online orientations for police and neighbors.
• Leadership training for STS coordinators and for task force members.
