Hope In Action: Policymakers and Artists Promote Youth and Latino Suicide Prevention

The Kristin Brooks Hope Center, To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) with the Mental Health Liaison Group will hold a press conference, “Hope In Action,” on Capitol Hill in room B369 Rayburn House Office Building. It will highlight the passage of The Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act, an important civil rights victory that begins to end the blatant discriminatory practices of private insurance companies who have applied arbitrary limits on what mental health and addictions treatment diagnoses would be covered, and further placed discriminatory limits on the types and lengths of services provided. This celebration occurs as the Kristin Brooks Hope Center celebrates the ten year anniversary of its suicide prevention hotline, 1-800-SUICIDE , which to date has answered more three million calls from individuals in crisis and is credited for directly saving more than 5,000 lives.”*
