This is a call to reverse the decision to end the LGBTQ line of 988. Please see the op ed James Black, CEO of @TrevorProject & I wrote conveying the importance of cultural competency when it comes to mental healthcare, especially for LGBTQ ppl.

[American Foundation for Suicide Prevention @afspnational]

"Culturally competent care improves access, engagement, and outcomes. When people feel seen, they are more likely to reach out...and return to health professionals," shares @cmoutierMD with @statnews.

Addressing social determinants/drivers of suicide is key. Check out our review which found several experiences that confer risk: justice involvement, exposure to another's suicide, firearm access & more. @PeterJNaMDMPH @MariaOquendoMD @YalePsych @YaleMed @JAMAPsych @afspnational

[JAMA Psychiatry @JAMAPsych]

Viewpoint: Identifying and addressing key social determinants of health is crucial for informing clinical practices and public health policies to prevent suicide and reduce disparities among high-risk populations. https://t.co/gtOdc3dM4H @cmoutierMD

[Christine Yu Moutier MD @cmoutierMD]

What an honor to be recognized for working for LGBTQ people to live with the same opportunities, safety and respect everyone deserves. It's not identity that increases suicide risk, it's the experience our society affords. TY @HIVPlusMag, @johntcaseyjr for the recognition.

[American Foundation for Suicide Prevention @afspnational]

Our very own Chief Medical Officer @cmoutierMD was named one of @HIVPlusMag's Health Heroes of the Year for her dedication to mental health equity and suicide prevention in vulnerable communities. Check out the issue here: https://t.co/FK5WOxu0BS

These words from my amazing colleague @josephinejessew are powerful: "When we love those in our life unconditionally, it opens up trust, communication, and the feeling of being safe." Such a simple yet life changing action we can all take. https://t.co/qWJx1cYG7g

[Christine Yu Moutier MD @cmoutierMD]

To reduce suicide, primary care & mental health clinicians need to work together. Congress can help by enacting policy that incentivizes Collaborative Care models in health systems. https://t.co/S3InIKcWnc… via @statnews

AI could be promising for suicide prevention, but it’s important for social media companies to get serious about protecting users’ mental health before it gets to a crisis point. Read about AI & suicide prevention in @Jamie_Ducharme’s @TIME article: https://t.co/T8Ks7E55UV
