Tilting against stereotypes one degree at a time. Mixed race, mental health, traditional families, women in finance.

Are you familiar with 988?

If not, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, only a small number of Americans are aware of 988.…and it goes live this Summer!

I lost my cousin to suicide in 1986. My family was never the same. I wish we’d known about resources like @namicommunicate, @afspnational & other orgs sooner.

I want other suicide loss survivors to know: you are not alone; it’s not your fault; support is available. #SurvivorDay

Partnerships can make a difference. PRISM is a partnership between shelters and the publicly funded Canadian health care system to address the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness in Montreal.

Former First Lady @MichelleObama speaks out about America’s collective mental health & systemic racism on @CBSThisMorning. She shares how the pandemic gave her a low grade of depression. “Sometimes we just need to speak the truth.” We couldn’t agree more.

Women today face unique challenges related to substance use disorder and treatment. Traditional forms of treatment are not as effective for women, and more women have turned to substance use as a way to cope with the stress of the pandemic.
