Action B4 the Storm
BREAKING ISOLATION BUILDING BELONGING
“Loneliness and social isolation become detrimental when they persist for extended periods of time. We’re wired as human beings to connect with others. Our brains are designed for social connectedness. Our survival from birth into adulthood depends on it,” as stated by Dr. Daniel Knoepflmacher, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Director of the General Psychiatry Residency Program and Vice Chair of Education in Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Our Vision
We understand that when isolation is allowed to thrive in silence, it can develop into a storm that negatively affects one’s mental well being. Our vision is to create a multicultural community that is intentional about preventing social isolation. A community that fosters genuine connections and encourages open conversations. We envision a world where no one is left to weather the storm alone.
Our Mision
Action B4 the Storm breaks the cycle of isolation by creating an environment where mental health is nurtured. We use evidence based programs to give communities the tools to transform loneliness into togetherness. We step in before the storm hits to establish peer support systems and stigma-free spaces where holistic well being is prioritized and crisis is prevented.
