Putting the “E” in WAVES to Good Use

It was an education-packed weekend at WAVES, and that’s no coincidence. After all, the “E” in WAVES stands for Education.

and we truly lived that out. We kicked off our first 2026 QPR suicide prevention training with Master Trainer Walker Tisdale III, with 14 community members becoming certified in life-saving intervention skills. Congratulations!

Our WAVES Village Book Club continued fostering reflection and intergenerational dialogue around identity, family, and mental health, while our Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training, in partnership with the Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities (MHACC), equipped participants to recognize and respond to mental health challenges.

Few things are more powerful than making knowledge accessible. We’re proud to do that at WAVES. Thank you to everyone who participated in this past weekend’s event!
