Our Mission

  After losing his son to suicide in 2013, Graham Wiseman has devoted his life to helping our youth with mental health support. He left corporate America to start BeingwellCA . Graham is a respected speaker and community advocate for Mental Health Issues facing our youth today. His radio, TV and live appearances have delivered current, impactful information to students, parents, educators and mental health practitioners in a personal, captivating manner.
 

Graham is actively serving our community on multiple suicide prevention and mental health committees. Currently he is Chair of the Contra Costa County Mental Health Commission and is a member of multiple school wellness advisory councils and task forces.
He is also an avid fisherman and small boat sailor!

  When one of her daughters was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of twelve, it was the experience of learning how to navigate the mental health care system that inspired Ms. Miller to share their story with others. Her passion lead her to become an outspoken community advocate. Now serving as a member of the Mental Health Advisory Council for Kaiser Permanente Northern California, she has become a sought after speaker and surrogate voice of patients and their families. 

Destigmatizing and normalizing conversations about mental illness in the African American community and beyond, Gail urges other parents and caregivers to seek out early interventions.  “It is time to take down the wall of shame and secrecy surrounding mental illness. If sharing our story saves even one life, helps one family not have to go through what our family has, it is worth telling every chance I get.” 

Caroline Wiseman is the proud mother of two beautiful children, Colin and Nicole. Mrs. Wiseman has dedicated her life to children. She is a lifelong resident of the San Francisco East Bay. Now in her 33rd year as an elementary school teacher, she has the long term perspective  of how the education environment has changed.  She now sees higher than ever levels of stress, anxiety and depression at  the  elementary school.

Caroline has seen the benefits of a small Wellness Center on her campus and now believes this resource  should be available to all children.  Losing a child is every parent's nightmare, but she  has turned this pain into passion. Caroline is a driving force in partnering with the California Department of Education for a Mental Health Awareness License Plate Design Contest running this year.
