It’s okay to have bad mental health days. It doesn’t mean you failed or that your progress wasn’t real, it means that you’re human. Take a break and allow yourself to practice self-care. You’ll get through this. 💚

Larry King had @afspnational's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Christine Moutier on Combating America’s suicide crisis to discuss ways to quell America’s increasing suicide rate, which rose 30% from 1999 to 2016 according to a recent CDC report. ow.ly/UcSX30l9GTd


By an unanimous vote, HR2345 passed the US House of Representatives. That means there will be a short duration of review by the FCC with no doubt the approval of and implementation of a three digit NATIONAL suicide lifeline. Thank you to everyone that helped us fight for this!!!


HR2345 just passed the Energy and Commerce committee!!! We are one step closer to a 3 digit lifeline number! I cannot be more excited!!!!


After spending the day yesterday talking with our congressional representatives about the importance of suicide prevention public policies I just got word that the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Improvement Act (Hr2345) just PASSED committee with a strong unanimous vote!
