AFSP commends the Administration for reversing its previous decision to terminate thousands of suicide prevention and mental health grants at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Is six weeks too soon to feel nostalgic? Still thinking about the amazing time I had in London.

[Dr. Corbin J. Standley @CorbinStandley]

After an incredible IASR/AFSP Summit in Boston, I was honored to present a plenary on advancing equity and action at the Youth Suicide Prevention & Intervention Symposium in Denver. Eight days, three cities, two time zones—I’m exhausted but continually inspired by this work.
