Hi John,

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. To anyone out there who is struggling: I see you, I love you, and I’m fighting for you. You matter.

  • If you or someone you love is experiencing a mental health crisis, please do not hesitate to call or text the suicide and crisis lifeline at 988. The 988 lifeline is available 24/7 and is completely free and confidential.
     
  • This month, please join me in setting aside time to read the 988 lifeline’s resources on how to help a loved one who may be in crisis. This information can save lives.

John, acknowledging mental illness doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human. When we speak openly about it, we give others permission and courage to also speak openly and promote healing. That’s why I’m committed to being open about my own struggles while fighting for legislation in Congress that expands access to mental health care and improves resources for teens.

This month and always, don’t forget to be kind to your fellow humans. You never know what someone else is going through.

With love,

Becca
