In the spirit of starting a conversation and changing the narrative, let's talk about how this is personal for many of us. Mental health crises can affect anyone amongst our families, friends, colleagues, or communities. Speaking up fights stigma and saves lives worldwide.
Today, on #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we acknowledge that suicide is a major public health challenge. We remain committed to transforming our behavioral health system & reducing rates of suicide across the country. To those who are struggling: we hear you & we are here to help.

New Working Paper! Advocacy for public accountability produces reactions from government service providers. But it’s not always clear what they mean. @jonathanfox707, @Halloran_B, Alta Fölscher & Rosie McGee offer a framework to interpret reactions. bit.ly/48Aj9Q2
