Today we honor World Su***de Prevention Day. The intersection of disability and mental health matters:

🔹 Adults with disabilities report experiencing frequent mental distress almost 5x as often as adults without disabilities (CDC, 2018).
🔹 Youth with disabilities are 2–3x more likely to experience suicidal thoughts or attempts (NCBI, 2020).
🔹 Veterans with disabilities are at significantly higher risk of su***de compared to those without (VA, 2023).

Let’s break the silence and ensure support is accessible for all. 💛
