It's no secret that the past few years have been tough on our kids' mental health.
@SenThomTillis and I joined @CrisisTextLine today to talk about how our Senate Mental Health Caucus is working to provide better resources in schools and ensure no child is suffering in silence.
Today, 90+ groups gathered for a mental health event by the Senate Bipartisan Caucus. Crisis Text Line, Mental Health Liaison Group, and leaders discussed youth well-being. @SenThomTillis and @SenAlexPadilla joined us and shared their insights!

One thing is for sure: mental health is not a partisan issue in Washington.
It was great to stand alongside my friend from across the aisle, @RepMoulton, and discuss our work to fight America's mental health crisis.
We're making progress, but the fight is far from over!
The mental health crisis isn't a Democratic or a Republican issue, it's an American issue.
Today I joined @RepChrisStewart to discuss our bipartisan bill creating the @988Lifeline and our future work to expand the accessibility of mental healthcare services across the country.
.@BrittanyS spoke with four members of Congress – @RepMoulton, @RepRitchie, @RepRubenGallego and @SenTinaSmith – who opened up in an exclusive interview about their personal struggles with PTSD and depression.
On the latest episode of our podcast, @gallo_hunter, Vice President of Public Policy + Advocacy at the @crisistextline, joined to talk about the importance of reaching out and speaking with someone who understands your trauma.
