KIVA24 & BarberTime expands their successful barber and stylist peer-support to the DMV region. This mental health initiative began in Boston and is growing.

BOSTON, MA, USA, July 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — It was a good time, with good people, good food and a continued good purpose, as BarberTime hosted a brunch for the Barbers & Stylists of Massachusetts who teamed up with KIVA Centers to bring “in place” peer-support & resources to their clients and communities. The Kiva24 Appreciation Brunch, which was held earlier this Spring, brought a flair and humble grace to a growing collaboration of, “position meets purpose”.

The event boasted a performance by saxophonist @ExieOfficial, one of Boston’s young & talented musicians, who has played for the White House and in front of a host of many other dignitaries & officials from Boston to DC. This began on the precipice of a Northeast relationship that would spread the good-faith campaign to the Delaware, Maryland & Virginia (DMV) region, with the assistance of Baltimore native Barber, @pauljones1228.

What started in Massachusetts has grown into a Northeast regional network of caring professionals, that are positioned to help serve a greater cause. For the next 3 months, the Kiva24 Ambassadors of Massachusetts and the DMV regions will carry out KIVA’s Peer-Support training, via BarberTime’s method of “Identifying, Communicating & Distributing” key resources via barbershops & hair salons.

Through ‘The BarberTime Media Network’ platform, these barbershops & salons have delivered vital public resources despite the growing financial challenges they face. With the use of BarberPolls, data collection forms, and the in-depth relationships they hold, the Kiva24 Ambassadors are making a difference in their professional careers and their neighborhoods.

Training has begun for the Summer cohorts in both Massachusetts and the DMV region. Visit all participants “lived experience” testimonials at barbertimeplus.com/kiva24/ and barbertimeplus.com/kiva24dmv/.
