Reminder to self: My mental health is a priority right now and I deserve to do what makes me feel safe.

If you’re reading this, this is your sign. This is your sign that it’s going to be okay, no matter how cheesy or unrealistic that sounds. Keep going and keep fighting. You’ll get where you need to be.


I feel like this approach and mindset is universally applicable. If you are able to tailor your delivery to your audience, your message will be understood and your impact amplified. Do everything with compassion and understanding and you'll change the world... #mentalhealth

Thx to @RIHEALTH @BHLinkRI @TheSamaritansRI @AFSP_RI & others, RI is making progress on #suicideprevention. But on national level, we’ve got to do more. We need real parity for #mentalhealth coverage & greater fed investment in research & staffing suicide prevention call centers.


Thank you @SenJackReed for your unwavering support to preserve life here in Rhode Island #RealConvo #afspadvocacy

Suicide is always heartbreaking. But today's @Rally2Prevent showed there are amazing people out there like Missy & Michaela of @AFSP_RI providing us w/ hope. Thanks to all advocates & organizations who came out to #BeTheVoice. #AFSPadvocacy

Great meeting with @davidcicilline a true advocate for mental heath in #RhodeIsland

Honored to meet with Missy Ames and Justin Alves from @afspnational. Really important that we address the recent spike in suicide rates and ensure those who need help can get it.

We should all keep this in mind

Repeat this: I'm not defined by my mental health. I'm not ashamed of getting help. I'm not a failure. I'm important. #FridayFeeling

It’s okay to admit you’re still hurting. It’s okay to admit you’re still healing. It takes time.
