For 15 years, I've known it in my gut. Now we have proof from a world renowned research institution. If I could get up on my rooftop right now and scream, I would. Active Minds changes lives. So proud of this org and this team!! teapawt.net/Active_Minds/status/10…
Over the last few years, Active Minds has been part of a longitudinal study conducted by @RANDCorporation to measure our impact on student mental health and behaviors. The results, published today in @JAACAP, couldn’t be more positive! Thread 👇

After being so taken by the memorial he posted for his son Tommy earlier this year, I was honored when Congressman Jamie Raskin agreed to sit down with me (for what I think was his first such public conversation), loss survivor to loss survivor. ⬇️
Our founder, Alison, recently sat down with @RepRaskin – they discussed the future of mental health, reflected on suicide survivor loss, and considered questions like "How do we resume life amidst grief?"

Been thinking a lot about ripples lately. 20 years ago I craved finding another young adult sibling survivor. Anyone. Recently I got to sit down with Sam, who lost her brother to suicide a couple of years ago, and is now doing a podcast in his memory. 🌊.

“Young people need to see trans adults who are happy, thriving, and living full lives, but they need to see their cisgender family members, peers, and communities pushing on towards a more just and healthy world.” #TDOV

“Oftentimes, high school students are not taught to recognize that what they’re dealing with might be a struggle that they can’t just pull themselves out of, but it’s an actual diagnosable disorder that needs & deserves help & treatment.” - @AlisonMalmon

Today, do your best to prioritize what you need.
Some ideas ⬇️
1. Find at least one quiet moment
2. Have a conversation about how you are feeling
3. Do at least one thing to tell yourself that you matter
4. Give yourself permission to set boundaries
