On May 17th, unite to honor those struggling mentally, remember lost lives to suicide, and promote healing in our community. Let’s join in solidarity— because suicide is a preventable death. We can break the silence together, spark hope, and save lives.

I’m going to try to pull together a starter pack for schools of social work this afternoon.

I’ve got a very short list at the moment, so if you have any leads please point me in their direction (or just tag them in a reply). Thanks!
Welcome to Bluesky @nyusilver.bsky.social ! I really like the starter packs and lists on the platform. I haven't seen a School of Social Work starter pack, but that would be great to have. #SocialWork
