By calling or texting 988, you’ll connect with mental health professionals with the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Veterans can press “1” after dialing 988 to connect directly to the Veterans Crisis Lifeline which serves our nation’s Veterans, service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and those who support them.

Hey everyone, Sean's back!With all of the recent mass shootings, we felt it was our responsibility to do as we'd promised in the beginning of this project - work to mental health stigma. With that being said, there was no way we were going to sit by quietly, while (once again) the worst among us would try to unjustifiably point the finger of these issues directly at mental health and mental illness.Mass shootings have 1 singular thing in common, and we ALL know what that is.Not all mass shooters have mental illness. Not everyone with mental illness is a mass shooter (or even violent.)But enough description reading... Let's have a super awkward - HONEST conversation about it.Support the show
