inseparable

@cpulisic proves that reaching out isn't a weakness. And Lionel Messi reflects on how important it is to seek help instead of bottling everything up. When athletes speak up, more people feel like they can, too. These conversations shift what it means to be strong, and make it easier for everyone to get the support they need.

The @FIFAWorldCup semifinals are here, and so is a conversation worth having. 5 players have stepped beyond the field to speak openly about their mental health. @HKane reminds us that our mental health deserves the same care as our physical health. @richarlison97 shares how therapy changed his life. @BellinghamJude urges us to talk about our feelings and emotions out loud.

For a lot of kids, the only place they will ever see a counselor is at school. That's why, after Parkland, Congress created school mental health grant programs—and after Uvalde, Republicans and Democrats in Congress came together to boost that investment to a billion dollars over five years, putting more counselors, psychologists, and social workers where students already spend their days—in schools. The program reached nearly 775,000 students in 49 states in a single year, and it was working. Now the Department of Education is moving to end those grants, and 15 attorneys general have filed suit to keep them in place. The reason this funding earned bipartisan support in the first place hasn't changed. Kids get help where they are, or too often they do not get help at all. We're with the parents, educators, and school mental health professionals who aren't letting this go quietly.

NJ’s crisis response is on a cliff. $35M for Crisis Stabilization Centers — a critical piece of the crisis continuum of care — was excluded from the budget. @GovSherrillNJ & lawmakers can still fix this. Politico has the full stakes: insact.us/4f6HHVg #MentalHealthMatters

Because healthy families start with healthy moms. 💚

1 in 5 moms experience a mental health condition during pregnancy or the first year after birth. Here’s the hopeful part: When a mom gets the mental health care she needs, two futures change at once.

We’ve known that gaps in the mental health workforce create significant downstream costs for communities. This Virginian-Pilot editorial explores how with the help of Inseparable’s own Workforce Report 📈 We can close these gaps. Awareness is the first step. Read more: insact.us/3SQhzqv

The challenge now is that most states don't yet have steady funding to keep it running, even as more people reach out every year.

988 is a simple three-digit number that connects people to real help, and new research shows it's already making a difference. In the two years after it launched, more than 4,300 young lives were saved.

When a mental health crisis hits, too many people still don't know where to turn. That's starting to change. Here are five things to know about strengthening crisis response. #MentalHealth #988Lifeline

Alaskans are already grappling with a mental health crisis. But it’s about to get worse. Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget vetoes for the new fiscal year include millions in cuts to mental health services and support across the state. These aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. Mental health programs are a lifeline for many Alaskans. Cutting them means fewer resources, less support, and greater barriers to care. Last week, the governor also vetoed legislation that would have brought mental health education into Alaska’s public schools. Alaska should be expanding mental health support — not reducing it. #MentalHealthCareSavesLives

July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, also known as BIPOC Mental Health Month. Bebe Moore Campbell used the power of storytelling to break the silence around mental health and fight for communities of color who had been left out of the conversation. We're carrying that work forward this month and every month, because good mental health care and equity are inseparable. Join us. #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth

The health of our minds is inseparable from the health of our bodies, and we applaud Congressman Kean for sharing his story.

Sending @CongressmanKean our best wishes for his continued recovery after sharing his depression diagnosis today. cnn.com/2026/06/30/pol…

Congress is making progress toward protecting kids online, and yesterday evening the U.S. House passed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act, taking us one step closer to addressing the harms children and families face every day. We're glad to see this momentum, and we're especially hopeful about the Senate's stronger Kids Online Safety Act. The Senate's KOSA includes a duty of care that reflects a simple principle. When companies know their platforms, algorithms, or design choices are contributing to depression, anxiety, and serious mental health crises in kids and teens, they have a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent those harms. It's time to hold tech companies accountable for designing their platforms to promote compulsive and excessive use the companies know harms our kids. Behind the data are real children. They are the kids whose anxiety spikes after hours of algorithmically-fed content, the teens served a relentless stream of distorted body images, and the adolescents caught in cycles of compulsive use they cannot control even when they want to stop. America's children deserve online spaces that support their wellbeing, not business models that profit from their distress. We urge the Senate Commerce Committee to mark up KOSA quickly so lawmakers in both chambers can work together to advance the strongest possible version of KOSA this year. Our kids deserve better. #KOSA #KIDSACT #YouthMentalHealth

One of the most iconic tournaments in tennis is here: @Wimbledon. In recent years, @Venuseswilliams returned to tennis in part to maintain health insurance coverage. @janniksin launched an initiative to raise awareness about mental health. @naomiosaka shared her experience in a powerful essay for @TIME. We applaud athletes who speak openly about both physical and mental health — on and off the court. Every time they do, they help change the conversation around sports, wellbeing, and what it means to ask for support.

The budget process isn't over. Tell Governor Sherrill and your legislators to restore funding for Crisis Receiving & Stabilization Centers. Mental health emergencies won't wait. Neither should our leaders.

New Jersey promised families that when someone experiences a mental health crisis, there would be somewhere safe to turn—not just an emergency room or a jail cell. Today, that promise is at risk.
