It’s happening too much! Check on your friends. Ask them about Suicide if you are the least bit concerned!

[Mental Health America @MentalHealthAm]

Try reframing how you think about “change.” Here are some ideas. 💡

[Hannah Kelley @Hannahhh_kelley]

This can not keep happening. We can not continue to sit back and say “this won’t happen to my athletes, my friends, my teammates, or at my school” any longer. STOP ignoring the issue. We NEED to do better. Something needs to change, NOW

[Morgan Overaitis @morganoveraitis]

We’re more than just athletes. Mental health matters.

[Gregg Johnson @Gregg4Illinois]

Last week I had the privilege of attending a trivia night event for @FostersVoice2. I want to Thank Kevin Atwood for taking the time to talk to me and for being so welcoming, especially to my daughter Gabby.

2/2 Today we are a 40M org with 73 chapters in all 50 states + Puerto Rico, 65 staff in the field supporting our chapters and over 38 programs reaching thousands. What a journey it has been and I look forward to the future @afspnational

[Mike Lamma @MikeLamma]

Today marks the 18th anniversary of the day I joined the @afspnational team. When I started we were a $2M organization with 15 weak chapters, no staff in the field and handful of programs. 1/2

If the heaviness is weighing down on you, know that it’s OK if you don’t feel hopeful. It’s OK to be scared, upset, or sad. You are not alone for any of it.

[American Foundation for Suicide Prevention @afspnational]

Stop scrolling. Take a deep breath in for 5 seconds. Hold for 5 seconds. Exhale for 5 seconds.

[TWLOHA @TWLOHA]

You are worthy of being known for all that you are.
