NTBHA is honored that the Centene, The Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing invited us to facilitate breakout groups at the recent Strong Youth Strong Communities™ (SYSC) Youth Summit.
Amy Sanders, NTBHA’s Director of Zero Su***de and Mental Health First Aid, led the NTBHA team.
The SYSC initiative, in partnership with Ambetter (Superior Health Plan), Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Sandy Hook Promise, works with local stakeholders to present Youth Summits designed for students ages 13 to 18. The SYSC initiative brings teenagers together to learn lessons on life skills and leadership that help unlock their potential. The event is part presentation and part breakout session. The Youth Summit offers young people the chance to listen, learn, as well as speak to share their own perspectives.
Thank you for inviting NTBHA to be a part of this special event!

The NTBHA staff participated as a team for the first time to walk at the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention Out of the Darkness DFW Walk. It was held on Saturday, October 25th, at the Levitt Pavilion in Arlington, Texas. We had a great turnout and raised $400 even though it rained, we were able to honor those lost, support the survivors, and promote prevention efforts to decrease the number of su***des in our communities.

Family and Friends also came to walk with us. We also honored Mackenzie Yarbrough, our own David Yarbrough’s daughter who died by su***de in 2024. David was supported by numerous family and friends who braved the storms to support this cause.

In attendance were NTBHA staff members, Anthony Garcia, Amy Sanders, Priscilla Valdez, Jacqueline Baclawski, David Yarbrough, Maricela Rubio, Joni Saraceni, Jessie Rodriquez, and friends and family of staff that wanted to participate to honor someone and/or support the cause.

Despite the rain, the event was a great success thanks to the incredible support from our staff, families, and friends. We truly appreciate everyone who came out to stand behind this meaningful cause.
