Working Together to Prioritize Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in the New Year
For many of us, the new year is an opportunity to refocus on our health and set new goals and routines. This year, I want to encourage all of us to make sure our mental health is part of that focus.

As we start the new year, prioritizing mental health and suicide prevention must remain a shared commitment. I'm re-sharing this piece I wrote for @afspnational.bsky.social last year highlighting how workplaces, communities, and individuals can do that. Check it out!

After an incredible IASR/AFSP Summit in Boston, I was honored to present a plenary on advancing equity and action at the Youth Suicide Prevention & Intervention Symposium in Denver. Eight days, three cities, two time zones—I’m exhausted but continually inspired by this work.

It’s #NationalComingOutDay. I’m grateful for the family and friends who met me with love and support. It’s something I’ll never take for granted, especially now as so many LGBTQ+ people face hostility and harmful policies. To anyone still figuring it out: You’re not alone, and your truth matters. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Today marks 15 years since we lost David. The grief of losing a sibling to suicide is complicated. But I'm grateful for the moments when we remember him, and for the community, the career, and the purpose I found in this loss. That’s the “why” that keeps me going.
