Care Beyond the Chair

be nice. Training for Barbers, Cosmetologists and Stylists

Whether you're a barber, cosmetologist, stylist or other hair or beauty professional, you touch the lives of so many people every day! The connections you build and the trust you earn make you uniquely positioned to be a champion for mental health in your community.

Join us at a FREE Care Beyond the Chair training to learn more about recognizing signs of mental health changes, starting meaningful conversations, taking action, and building resilience. During the session, you'll also be shown a film focused on the importance of mental health awareness—skills that benefit both you and your clients.

Let’s work together to build stronger, more resilient communities, one conversation at a time!
