Hi, I'm Rebecca

I’m Rebecca Chalson — entrepreneur, consultant, and big sister to Benjamin Toci, a Navy veteran who tragically lost his life to suicide. Brave Connections™ was created in his memory, and for those navigating the silent struggles of major life transitions, identity loss, or emotional isolation.

We will be offering resource connector services, training programs, and events to support high risk populations, especially veterans. Though they only make up seven percent of the American population, they account for 20% of all suicides. In fact, very 80 minutes we lose a veteran in this tragic way.

Through my own experiences with grief and major life upheaval, I’ve discovered that healing begins with three essential pillars that will be emphasized in all of our programs.
