Trigger Warning: The article selected and this week’s discussion will include conversation about self-harm, suicidal ideation, and death by suicide.

September 4-10 Is National Suicide Prevention Week

988: The National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline launched nationwide on July 16 and cities and states have already documented an increase in calls. But the launch has been criticized for a variety of reasons including a lack of local, in-person resources and an over-reliance on law enforcement and involuntary hospitalization.

Join us this Thursday, September 8 at 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT for Something to Talk About Live! where we will discuss "The 988 Suicide Prevention Hotline Is Live, but Are Call Centers Prepared?", an article by Andrea Rice that appeared in Healthline. We're excited to welcome to the conversation Doreen Marshall, Vice President of Mission Engagement at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and Preston Mitchum, Director of Advocacy & Government Affairs at the Trevor Project.  

Join us live on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
