If our aim is to reduce suicide, we must do what we know works. The science supports the recommendations. As has been said before, the difference between what we know and what we do can be lethal. https://t.co/azSS9YePrg

[Jerry Reed, PhD, MSW @JerryReedPhd]

Working with this team was a privilege. Our recommendations, while focused on DoD, some have direct applicability to suicide nationally. https://t.co/2cb6WPcTyO

As we recognize Suicide Prevention Month during the month September, and World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, 2022, we have an opportunity to raise the consciousness of suicide and suicide prevention, intervention and post…https://t.co/TYb0uUDlS7 https://t.co/P2FGeBykDB

@JudgeWren @RoseHorowitz31 @askdrlloyd @cgcurie @cuttingedgelaw @AndyDRC @DanGillison @miller7 @AlisonBarkoff @PsyVIDAS201718 So appreciate the work of Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren. She's the best and a model others across the nation should emulate. Thanks Judge Lerner-Wren for putting people first! It matters...it really does.

Suicide Prevention happens in communities. Take a moment to read about six Colorado communities making a difference. @QuinlanKristen @EDCtweets

When communities work together, #SuicidePrevention is possible. Read this new article on the Colorado National Collaborative’s work to reduce suicide in the latest issue of Preventive Medicine:

While our journey is far from over, we are now talking about the preventability of suicide and not the inevitability of suicide. Let's continue the dialogue. https://t.co/Ve6uaoxsTr #SPM21 #edctweets #SuicidePrevention

Suicide is a complex public health issue that requires a comprehensive, holistic approach. That’s why @EDCtweets + @Action_Alliance encourage you to join @IASP for #WorldSuicidePreventionDay on 9/10 as they explore ‘Creating Hope Through Action.’ More: https://t.co/r449LLHFYr

We all have a role in suicide prevention. Our police and first responders need to know we recognize the many challenges they face and what they do for us each and every day.

[edc.org @EDCtweets]

To save the lives of those responsible for saving our lives, we must create spaces for police officers to talk openly about #suicide. In @washingtonpost EDC’s @GoldsteiGrumetJ & @PhdMhs
discuss how to address the suicide crisis facing police officers: https://t.co/LamoDN3hTl

Honored to have been asked to comment for this article. As a veteran myself, and one who has worked in suicide prevention for decades, I know we must "fly in formation" if we are to make progress.

“We shouldn’t look at this as a military or veteran problem. This is an American problem, and our solution has to be national,” said @Action_Alliance EXCOM member @JerryReedPhd of @EDCtweets in this @WeAreSinclair news story. More via: https://t.co/OpG76UHw88 #suicideprevention

Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren is a champion on so many fronts. She currently serves on the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention and formerly served on the New Freedom Commission for Mental Health appointed by President George W. Bush. A compassionate champion for sure.

@deseraestage Most important thing you can do is take care of you. We need YOU and that is what counts. "Drive your own bus" and set the speed at what works for you at any given point in time. You have my support and I wish you a smooth and safe ride. Here for you if I can be of any assist.

[Jerry Reed, PhD, MSW @JerryReedPhd]

@SFreedenthal A fair question might then be "what do you treat?"

[Jerry Reed, PhD, MSW @JerryReedPhd]

@Maureen_Iselin Great perspective at how to view events in our lives. If we listen, really listen, we'll find this is often the case. I needed this today as well Maureen.
