Civilian

Our "Never a Bother" youth suicide prevention campaign for California Department of Public Health's Office of Suicide Prevention won top honors this year. The thing is, we didn't just consult with youth — we co-created it with them (over 400 youth between ages 16 to 25 to be exact!). Here's what we learned along the way.

We're excited to share that Civilian has earned the 4A's Workplace Enlightenment Certification! 🎉 This amazing recognition highlights our dedication to creating a welcoming and inclusive work environment. Kudos to our team for their hard work and commitment to making Civilian a place where everyone can thrive! Let's keep shining and setting the standard for workplace excellence.

Juneteenth, known as Freedom Day, holds immense significance. It marks the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans and symbolizes the ongoing journey toward full liberation. Our campaign for California Mental Health Services Authority aims to amplify Black joy, honor Black history, and acknowledge the work that still needs to be done to reach true justice for everyone. Join us in celebrating Juneteenth! Let’s protect Black mental health and build a stronger community of mental wellness and resilience.
