A new paper published by @TheLancetPsych, produced by @mqmentalhealth, and written by 40 global experts including @afspnational's CMO @cmoutierMD, calls for radical action to put an end to the growing mortality rates of people with mental illness and mental distress.
We appreciate our partnership with @CourtneyFriedman and @ksatnews in highlighting the need for National Suicide Prevention Lifeline '1-800-273-TALK (8255)' funding!

Suicide is a topic that hides in the shadows. All too often it goes unaddressed, even if we sense someone is struggling.
You can help by learning the warning signs, knowing the risk factors, and bravely having a conversation with someone.
