[Working Together to Prioritize Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in the New Year.]([link removed])

Every new year is a time to start fresh. In a new article for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s [Real Stories blog]([link removed]), Dr. Corbin J. Standley, AFSP’s senior director of impact communication and continuous improvement, reflected on the insight gained from the [2024 Public Perception of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Poll]([link removed]), conducted in partnership with the Harris Poll, The National Action Alliance, and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. The poll revealed that 91% of people believe that suicide can be prevented at least some of the time; and that many people are motivated to play a role in saving lives. It also showed that nine out of ten people believe that employers and the media and entertainment industry also have a role to play in supporting mental health and suicide prevention.
 
In his article, [“Working Together to Prioritize Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in the New Year,”]([link removed]) Dr. Standley considers specific actions employers, the media – and all of us, as individuals – can take to collectively make a difference.
