Building Caring Families

Our mission is to transform how families support a better way for a healthier life.

"Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful."

Colossians 3:13–15 NLT

Art works with non-profits and churches to launch student leadership academies that provide the foundation for teens and young adults to combat the stigma of asking for help when dealing with mental and behavioral health. He also provides programming for communities, churches, and families. His dissertation is focused on raising awareness about strategies to improve equity in the behavioral health workforce, beginning on the local college and high school campus.

Student Leadership Academy

Flexible & Focused · 4 to 8 Weeks

Building Caring Families is focused on helping students, teens, and young adults become leaders in talking with their peers about the importance of mental and behavioral health. Research shows that all of our communities need help.

20% of teens have seriously considered suicide. (APA)

Teens in rural communities are twice as likely to consider suicide. (CDC)

African American youth ages 5–12 are twice as likely to die by suicide. (AAMC)

African Americans ages 10–24 are the fastest rising group, increasing 36% since 2022. (AACAP)

How It Works

  • • We collaborate with your leadership team to identify 1 or 2 established events in your community.
  • • Once student leaders are identified, we collaborate for 4 to 8 weeks prior to the event.
  • • During this time we develop leadership skills focused on making stronger connections using the fruits of the spirit.
  • • All participants improve their critical thinking, communication, and leadership planning skills.

Student Call to Action

Student leaders implement a special community outreach that raises awareness about mental health and invites peers to learn more. Students develop a call to action that includes:

  • Mini Student-Led Project
  • Mobilization of Friends
  • Lifting Up Christ-Like Principles
  • Share Lessons Learned
  • Repeat Again
