I was honored to join Sen. @MarkWarner this afternoon for an important discussion about mental health and the @988Lifeline at @PRSincorporated. As National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month comes to an end, it’s good to remember that we can all continue to be a lifeline.
You can find resources for suicide prevention and awareness year-round, including PRS’ #CallTextLive one-pager, at https://t.co/HNrNkXyWd5.

As we wrap-up this year’s #suicidepreventionmonth, we wanted to share a few highlights from this year’s #CallTextLive campaign! Thank you for participating and for being a part of creating suicide safer communities. #PRSmentalhealth
Step 5: Follow Up
If someone you know tells you they've been thinking about suicide, don't forget to take the last step and #BeThe1To follow up with them. It can make all the difference.
PRS is proud to partner with community orgs that work to reduce the stigma around mental health and build suicide safe communities like The Eric Monday Foundation. They support young athletes and their mental health. https://t.co/xRNXxM1AND #calltextlive#SuicidePreventionMonth
