The BHA training was a game-changer for me not just professionally, but personally. The sessions were culturally relevant, deeply engaging, and grounded in real-world behavioral health challenges. I walked away with practical tools I could apply immediately, and a renewed sense of purpose in my work. What stood out most was the emphasis on equity and lived experience it made the space feel safe, empowering, and transformative. I’ve attended a lot of trainings, but this one truly stuck with me.
