This young woman was powerful in her message.

“Our craving became our priority.” Emma explains how she went from begging her parents to stop smoking to becoming adduce to JUUL. Powerful. Scary. @MassAGO @MassMedical @APerronHasHeart

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Approximately 3000 Americans died of gun violence this month. 100 people a day, every day. It’s long past time for Congress to stand up to the gun lobby & confront this crisis head-on. @RepHankJohnson & I have a new bill for that. #EndGunViolenceBill https://t.co/4lMlZQWkGm

[Cindy Friedman @CindyFriedmanMA]

We must address the lingering, persistent stigma that surrounds our approach to mental illness – this idea that mental illness is just a failure of willpower, or something to be criminalized, rather than the very real, serious illness that it is. #EndTheStigma

Wearing a mask to cover emotions every day is exhausting. People suffer in silence. #Suicideknowsnoname. We are all vulnerable; acceptance is key. #MCSP18

[Candace @CLSavageSays]

Patients do not fail at mental health treatment; treatment fails the patients! Change the culture, says @BartAndrews; change the conversation. #MCSP18

[Candace @CLSavageSays]

631 lives lost to suicide in Mass last year. There is work to do! per Commissioner Bharel. @MCSP18 @MassMedical

[Candace @CLSavageSays]

Excited to participate in #GunViolenceHack

Data show 60% of teen #suicides are committed with rifles. This is a public health crisis equivalent to drunk driving. - Dr. Hirsch
