b'Mental Health Out LoudThis has been a challenging couple of yearsno doubt about that. At Lines for Life, weve tried to meet the challenge by creating opportunity.Sometimes, healing crisis starts with something as simple as saying it out loud to a loved one or provider. Every day, callers say things out loud that they havent told anyone else in their lives, as we listen and provide paths forward. This year, public figures and community leaders are speaking out about their mental health and substance use struggles in ways weve never seen beforeand demanding these crises be addressed. Politicians, entertainers, athletes, and faith leaders are going public with their stories, connecting others to support, and empowering leaders to make real change in crisis services. The conversation is overdue. 3'
