This ***dePreventionMonth, we want to remind you that connection is truly our greatest strength in the fight against su***de.

At AFSP, we foster a caring community of people who walk together, learn together, understand and encourage each other, and cheer each other on through their healing. Family, friends, neighbors, students and coworkers who’ve got each other’s backs, looking out for each other.

When people come together, hope can win.

Mental Health America has joined NAMI and 10 other leading mental health and substance use organizations in issuing a joint statement following the announcement of widespread staffing cuts at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

These cuts put critical programs at SAMHSA, CDC, and NIH at risk — including those addressing su***de prevention, substance use, overdose, and behavioral health services.

We call on the Administration to reverse course and protect the future of behavioral health care. Read the statement: https://mhanational.org/news/statement-from-leading-mental-health-and-substance-use-organizations-on-drastic-hhs-staffing-reductions/
