Two years ago, my Administration transitioned the National Crisis Lifeline from a ten-digit number to 988, linking folks to a trained counselor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Since then, we've answered 10 million calls, texts, and chats.
For those who need help, we're here.
For those attending AAFP Global Health Summit next week, catch our sessions on October 25 at 11:15 am and 12:15 pm in Room W184. We can't wait to see you there.
@AAFPFoundation@tilimd This year’s auction has so many incredible items thanks to our generous donors! Leadership sessions with @tilimd? Who wouldn’t want to be mentored by the best?!
Male doctors have #suicide rates as much as 40% higher than the general population. Female doctors up to 130% higher. People having thoughts of suicide feel relief when someone asks after them in a caring way. #NPSAday#SuicidePreventionMonth#988Lifeline https://t.co/ha1rfYuG1A
@drmikesevilla@DrJenCaudle@aafp She was sooo fabulous! I know those of us non-family doctor @AAFPFoundation staffers who attended felt our love for family medicine grow stronger (if that’s even possible since we ❤️ you all so much)!
Through your generosity, the Silent Auction has been a wonderful event for the Foundation, and we are excited to continue this year!
We are currently accepting donations: New/unused items for this year's auction, and donations to be used for the purchase of items.

So grateful for our volunteers! Because of your gracious hearts, our meaningful, much-needed
work for family medicine and improving health continues. ❤️
This week, we celebrate all of the volunteers who contribute to advancing family medicine. Because of YOU, the work of the Foundation continues.

@drmikesevilla And recently released data on the 2021 rate of suicide shows an increase over 2020z Coincidence? I think not. We must improve mental health services. Lives depend upon it.
Team @aafp spent lunch learning about @OB_Inc_KC and packing snack bags. 300 kiddos will receive bags of healthy snacks today thanks to my amazing, full of heart co-workers. So proud to be a part of this team!
A week since the earthquake that struck Turkey & Syria, more than 36,000 are dead, and thousands injured. Donate now to help our partners, @Heart_to_Heart & @IMC_Worldwide, provide essential medicines, hygiene kits, and on-the-ground support. Thank you 💗 https://t.co/1jhzOfYMoC
More than 1,000 hygiene kits assembled for @Heart_to_Heart packages today! Grateful to @IBTINC for the opportunity to work with one of my favorite non-profits and support the great work they do for global disaster relief.
Baseball dream day for this fan girl! Started being motivated by @nlbmprez (thanks @aafp!). Ended the evening at dinner with @goldbergkc. A visit to the Negro League Baseball Museum is a must and check out Joel’s podcast. Spring training is just around the corner!
Your year-end gift makes a difference! A donation in any amount helps create future family medicine leaders, provides grants to family physician-led free health clinics, gives grants to chapters for grassroots efforts, and more. Thank you! https://t.co/VOt3akIU1y #FamilyMedicine
