@inevitablefdn Every news story (but not this tweet) about your report says its about portrayals of people with disabilities and mental health issues.
But the linked report never mentions mental health.
Is there another report?

@NgeungaM @MarinaWalkerG I'm writing a Monday morning (EST) newsletter item for MindSite News about your recently posted "Mind Over Matter: Inside the Movement to Transform Mental Health in Sierra Leone" project. Is there a link to the full story? (None of the links go there.)

@klcctiffany Your fascinating 2.8 story about Lane County suicides links to an old report (2000-2016) in the 2nd graf. The correct URL (2000-2020: Updated) is: https://t.co/kpe2HjH0ls

@zeke_zl I'm a journalist writing a newsletter about Leigh's 10.14 story on mental health protests, trying to reach ANYONE who could answer this question: Were the 3 student deaths in nearly 6 months mental-heath related (suicide etc)? Best contact TODAY: [email protected]
