The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act passed the House! 🎉
Because the House passed the Senate version of the bill, it goes straight to the President's desk.
Thank you everyone for keeping the pressure on your representatives. Advocacy works! #ActB4Stage4
So proud to announce that the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act has passed the House this afternoon! Enacting 988 for the national suicide prevention lifeline will SAVE LIVES, and I sincerely thank my colleagues for their partnership on this incredible effort #988cantwait
Good morning! ☀️ Just a reminder that mental health conditions are not adjectives:
🚫"You're being so OCD"
🚫"She can't make up her mind, she's so bipolar"
🚫"He's such a psycho"
Think before you speak! The way we talk about mental health matters 💚
A person in a mental health crisis needs help, not handcuffs. Today is the National Day of Action to make 9-8-8, a nationwide number for mental health crises and suicide prevention, a reality. We need your help to tell Congress #988CantWait

“Social distancing shouldn’t be called social distancing, it should be called physical distancing, and we should remain socially connected. There are lots of tools for doing that.”
- @NIMHDirector at #MHACONF20
A5: Social distancing can be difficult for those with mental illness. Try changing your expectations, managing your news intake, setting up a time to video chat or call friends or family each day and making it a part of your routine. #NotAloneChat
You are more than a character whose lines can be studied and rehearsed. You are more than a passing thought or a backdrop. You are central to this story in more ways than you’ve allowed yourself to believe.

I hope you don’t abandon yourself even though they did. I hope you don’t neglect yourself even though they did. I hope you remember to love yourself better than they did.
Everyone likes online tests, so here's an important one, especially as it relates to overall health and #SDoH.
There will be 10 questions. Give yourself 1 point for each yes and I'll share what it means at the end, as well as resources to learn more.
If you are struggling with some tough thoughts right now, there is hope. Don’t hesitate to call the Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) any time day or night to be connected with a trained, caring counselor.

We want to remind you that your journey is your own. You do not need to compete or keep up with anyone else. Go at your own pace.
“If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders.”
