Beautiful testament shared by Rep. Larry Sanitoa about the impact of suicide on families at the 2021 AS Mental Health Summit. Citing relationships as underlying issues facing youth today, Sanitoa calls for more emphasis and resources on young people and healthy relations.

When you have so much veggies about to die in your fridge...two Absolute drinks later you think you’re master chef as you whip ‘em all together with chicken. It doesn’t taste awful but I’ll probably forgot how I put this together come tomorrow morning 🧐
