Looking back at last year's @bankofamerica@chimarathon, our Race AFSP Team truly went the distance — raising over $900,000 for suicide prevention. Their passion and dedication showed just how much this community can achieve together. https://t.co/XsPSWONA83 #GlobalRunningDay

In 2024, men were 4X more likely to die by suicide than women.
This #MensHealthMonth, let's remember that seeking help is a sign of strength. By supporting one another, fighting suicide, and challenging stigma, we can build a future where no one suffers alone.

We can't talk about Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month without talking about mental health. 💙
It is critical that the AAPI community feels empowered to reach out for help and that they have access to culturally relevant care.
