Mental health is important. But if the @GOP cared about #mentalhealth, they would support universal healthcare, schools, anti-poverty policies, and an anti-racist culture. You don’t fool me with your fake sympathy and misguided solutions to #GunControl.

Feeling seen by @MassAGO and @KarenSpilka in this piece and hoping that MA legislators can get it together to pass a bill that helps us meet the crushing need in our communities. https://t.co/ekrkFrqF8e
Tired of the mental illness dodge on gun violence, @AlisaRGMD and I set the facts straight and suggest effective alternatives!

Walking with my dad, patients, families, and colleagues in our shared vision of a more hopeful, more equitable, more resourced mental health system! #Together4MH@Eliot_chs@NAMIMass@MassMedical
We desperately need more Black therapists. I know this. It’s funny because as a Black psychiatrist who does therapy, I’m pulled in to many “therapy expert” conversations which are white-dominated. And I realized something…🧵 1/?
I expect that the @APAPsychiatric will do more to celebrate the antiracism work being done at the margins and enable profound change from within. We don’t shy away from tough conversations in our work- let’s show the same courage in confronting the trauma in our organization. 2/2
Excluding the visionaries and agitators from the conversation hurts the cause and slows the progress. It also clearly causes great pain to those who have dedicated their lives to disrupting the status quo for the greater good. 1/2
People in mental health crisis deserve a mental health response. #Act4MentalHealth and tell your Representative to invest in life-saving mental health crisis services! https://t.co/KOHppEb2Lw
Take the #MentalHealthMonth Advocacy Challenge and tell your Representative to support investments in suicide prevention and mental health. I did! #Act4MentalHealth https://t.co/3mBjAQYT62

@amybarnhorst Sometimes our best tool in the treatment relationship is not the pill but just bearing witness and providing validation. (While working to change the world when we leave the office.)
Promoting #mentalhealth necessitates the prevention of racial trauma in every setting, including the classroom. Kudos to 10yo Iris on using her voice to insist on change!
Learning so much about courage from my 10 yo who spoke up & then spoke out about racial traumas in school. I couldn’t be more proud of her powerful voice. @JulianneMcShane has masterfully framed Iris’ calls for educational reform into this provocative piece for @thelilynews
Vaccine rollout continues to be abysmal here in MA. Only 51% of doses available have been administered. @MassDPH and @MassGovernor must implement single website for signups, host accessible clinics in hardest-hit communities, and greatly improve communication.
