Helping People and Communities Thrive

Helping People and Communities Thrive

Curiosity Changes Everything.

At 2B Learning Labs, we believe growth begins with understanding. We translate research into practical tools that help people cultivate belonging, strengthen communication, and build lives that work in the real world.

You Are Enough! is a K–5 social-emotional learning curriculum designed to help children build belonging, resilience, self-awareness, compassion, and responsibility - long before they reach a crisis point.
 

Created from research in preadolescent suicide prevention, the curriculum gives schools practical, age-appropriate ways to strengthen the protective factors children need to feel connected, capable, and valued.
 

Because suicide prevention doesn’t begin with a conversation about suicide.

It begins with belonging.

Belonging is Prevention

Our Story

Why "2B Learning Labs"?

​

When I created an LLC for my You Are Enough! curriculum, I wanted a name that meant something to me. My cousin suggested a Shakespeare reference - I’ve loved the Bard all my life. Then she asked, “You’re a suicidologist. Does anyone in Shakespeare deal with suicide?”
 

Well, yes. Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” speech is one of the most famous passages in Shakespeare. He’s asking whether to keep living. My answer to him would be: to be. That’s where 2B comes from.
 

I chose Learning Labs because learning works best when we can be curious and compassionate with ourselves. In a lab, we experiment. We try something new, see what happens, and try again. There’s room to take risks, make mistakes, and grow.
 

Put them together, and you have 2B Learning Labs: a place to practice being - and becoming - yourself.

Kind Words
