On this day in the middle of #NationalSuicidePreventionWeek we remember the 22 members of the military community lost each day to suicide. This number is displayed in our office to remind us of our mission to promote #MentalHealthAwareness @ArredondoMelida

Forcing Gold Star families—who don't know if their sons or daughters were killed because of a Russian bounty scheme—to wrestle with 41 days of silence from the Commander in Chief is an absolute disgrace. They deserve to know the truth about #BountyGate.

It’s Purple Heart Day! Today, as we do every day, we honor those who have made a physical sacrifice for our freedom. Thanks to @MassDOT and the Cities and Towns, locations across Massachusetts will be lighting purple to recognize our Commonwealth’s Purple Heart recipients.

Laughter is good for mental wellbeing. It reduces tension and increases energy, enabling you to stay focused and accomplish more. Both sides of the brain are stimulated during laughing encouraging clarity, humor and creativity and better problem solving ability. #StopSuicide – at Tega Cay, SC
