This month marks the one-year anniversary of the pandemic. This has been a year of extreme loss – from the loss of more than 500,000 Americans, to the loss of our routines and ability to connect in person our loved ones.

In this blog I share some of my story. My own crisis transformed me, led me to focus my life’s work on suicide prevention. We MUST STOP discouraging doctors (& all ppl) from taking care of their mental health. #vulnerabilityassuperpower #StopSuicide @afspnational @drbreenheroes

You don’t have to be suicidal or in crisis to call the Lifeline. People call to talk about lots of things: substance use, economic worries, relationships, mental and physical illness, and more. No topic is off limits. If you are struggling, call @800273TALK
