@wwp Visit Brainline.org. Learn about #BrainInjury, #TBI, and #PTSD. Speak about #suicide. #Listen without judgment. The more we talk about brain injury and #trauma without #stigma, the more we can make a difference and save a life! #WWPChat #YouAreNotAlone #Hope

Q7: How can individuals and communities get involved with your organization to help prevent suicide? #WWPChat

@TyshawnJenkins @wwp This is such an important reminder @TyshawnJenkins

@wwp You may save also save the life of that person and anyone else whom the loss would have affected. When someone commits suicide, it is a domino effect that ripples through communities.

Q5: Many people feel uncomfortable asking someone if they are thinking about suicide or worried that talking about it will make someone more likely to do it. Why is it important we have this dialogue? #WWPChat

@wwp @BrainLine normalizes what living with #BrainInjury, #TBI, and #PTSD is like through personal stories, expert interviews, treatments, and research. This brings #hope and connection to those who thought they were alone in facing their new normal. #WWPChat #YouAreNotAlone

Q6: This question is for our partners. What role does your organization play in preventing suicide? #WWPChat

@wwp A5: It's a common fear that asking others about #suicide will put the idea in their head - but that is NOT true. Asking directly "Are you thinking about suicide?" shows that you care and are someone they can talk to about how they're feeling. #WWPChat cohenveteransnetwork.org/suicideprevent…

@wwp Talking about #suicide might save a life! There is so much #stigma surrounding suicide and #MentalHealth. The more we talk about it, the more we understand that these are normal human emotions. #WWPChat #SuicidePrevention #YouAreNotAlone #Hope
