Suicide is preventable. We worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the Suicide Prevention Resource for Action. The resource includes strategies, approaches, policies, programs, and practices to inform suicide prevention, including creating protective environments and promoting healthy social connections. Download the resource and learn about what can work for your community: https://lnkd.in/gsy2PPcr And if you are experiencing mental health-related distress or are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support, connect with a trained counselor by dialing 988. It's confidential, free, and available 24/7/365. #SuicidePrevention #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

There's still time to connect with your Members of Congress during the August Recess and encourage them to protect and support funding to the CDC Injury Center. Advancing a vision of healthy communities is not possible without robust funding to CDC’s Injury Center which funds proven and effective programs. Investment in the CDC and its diverse array of programming is vital to America’s safety and wellbeing. The Injury Center provides distinct primary prevention programming, research, and evaluation that is not duplicative to programs across other agencies, and the proposed cuts would effectively undo decades of progress toward a safe and healthy future.

We're proud to collaborate with CARESTAR Foundation and other incredible partners to elevate community voices in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Ensuring that those most impacted by inequities are heard is essential for building a more equitable and just healthcare system. Together, we're working towards a future where trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care is the norm, and where community relationships are at the heart of EMS reform. Pictured below: Tanir Ami from The CARESTAR Foundation, Ryan McClinton and DeAngelo Mack from Public Health Advocates, sharing insights at the CARESTAR grantee gathering. #HealthEquity #RacialJustice #PublicHealth
