I just wrote my U.S. Senators to urge their support for the Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act - S.1893. I hope you will consider doing the same. Visit http://www.congressweb.com/AFSP
to learn more and to take action! YOU TOO CAN DO THIS!!!!!! Everyone needs to take action. Please share this post and get others to as well. Time is now everyone!!!
Dear Senator Blunt:
I am writing to thank you for co-sponsoring S. 1893, the Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act of 2015, and to ask that you please urge your colleagues on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee to approve the bill during a markup scheduled for Wednesday, September 30.
I am pleased that this Act reauthorizes important federal youth suicide prevention programs for states and college campuses under the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, as well as approves a new mental health awareness training initiative that will help schools and emergency personnel recognize signs and symptoms of mental illness and suicide risk.
Additionally, the Act encourages expansion of the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) to all 50 states, which would ensure the availability of complete, accurate and timely information used to design effective suicide prevention strategies.
As a constituent who cares deeply about mental health and suicide prevention, I am asking for your continued support to win passage of the Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act in the United States Senate.
Sincerely,
Allie Doss
