A5: It's a common fear that asking others about #suicide will put the idea in their head - but that is NOT true. Asking directly "Are you thinking about suicide?" shows that you care and are someone they can talk to about how they're feeling. #WWPChat cohenveteransnetwork.org/sui…

As celebrate the holiday season, let us take a moment to celebrate caregivers.
The attention and compassion caregivers provide is a lifeline. For everyone out there loving, caring and advocating for those living with TBI, we see you and we appreciate you!

It’s National Health Care Quality Week, a chance to celebrate the progress the health care community has made in improving patient outcomes.
We have come a long way in understanding TBI. We have a long way to go, and that's why we're working to create a national TBI registry.

Sharing our experiences with mental illness can often leave us vulnerable to shame and judgment. Anastasia shows us that when we are able to open up more, we can open up the possibilities of being met with support and encouragement. #OurTurnToTalk #WellBeings #NowStreaming

This is a disaster. Pray for Tua. Fire the medical staffs and coaches. I predicted this and I hate that I am right. Two concussions in 5 days can kill someone. This can end careers. How are we so stupid in 2022.
