September is Su***de Prevention Month
Someone needs to hear this today. ❤️ What if the most powerful su***de prevention tool isn't technology, but human connection?

That's the message CEO Dr. Anthony Estreet, PhD, MBA, LCSW-C, shared in a recent Forbes Health feature on su***de prevention. Su***de’s impact reaches far beyond the individual, says Anthony Estreet, Ph.D., a licensed therapist and CEO at the National Association of Social Workers, the largest membership organization of professional social workers. “Families are left with profound grief, guilt and often silence,” he says. While AI can help connect people with information and crisis resources, it can never replace the empathy, compassion, and clinical judgment of trained mental health professionals.

🚨 Action Alert
Clinical social workers do more than provide mental health treatment. They coordinate care, support caregivers, and improve health outcomes. The bipartisan Integrating Social Workers Across Health Care Settings Act H.R. 4185 would help Medicare recognize the full scope of clinical social work practice.
📢 Tell Congress to cosponsor H.R. 4185 today.
