@NAMINOVA Inspiring walk this morning in support of mental health!

[Good Morning America @GMA]

“The Greenlights Grant Initiative — is this the cure? Hell no. It's a solid step forward to prevent, no doubt about that. And it could be momentum … we can do a lot better as a community.” — Matthew @McConaughey talks about his mission to make schools safer.

[Good Morning America @GMA]

“Every child should be able to go to school and feel safe at school … Every parent should be able to drop off their kids at school and not have to look over their shoulders and worry about their safety.” — Camila Alves on her and @McConaughey's Greenlights Grant Initiative.

[Good Morning America @GMA]

Out of 30 school districts so far, the Greenlights Grant Initiative, co-founded by Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves, says it has helped four districts successfully secure over $1 million dollars in grant money.

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

The toll of firearm violence on young people has been particularly devastating. As shared in my new Surgeon General's Advisory, firearm violence is now the leading cause of death among children and teens. https://t.co/bNS7xD9Bhp

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

Firearm violence is a preventable public health crisis. Our failure to address it is a moral crisis. To protect the health and well-being of Americans—especially our children—we must now act with the clarity, courage, and urgency the moment demands. https://t.co/N8wez9QLZG 10/10

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

NEW: Today, for the first time in the history of our office, I am issuing a Surgeon General’s Advisory on Firearm Violence. Firearm violence is a public health crisis in America that poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of our country. https://t.co/bNS7xDa96X 1/10

[Axios @axios]

This disparity of school counselor access in the U.S. — especially in the American West and Midwest — disproportionately hurts students of color seeking mental health support or college application advice.

[American Foundation for Suicide Prevention @afspnational]

Mental health parity ensures that employees have equal access to mental health services, just as they do for physical health. Understanding the rights + resources available through the Mental Health Parity + Addiction Equity Act is key. More info: https://t.co/zs7GfWK2QG #AskEBSA

[Secretary Xavier Becerra @SecBecerra]

The Biden-Harris Administration has consistently prioritized the health & well-being of Americans.

Our National Strategy for Suicide Prevention—and the unprecedented interagency coordination through the federal action plan—commits to the American people that we are here for you.
