#RecoveryMonth2026

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. This #RecoveryAwarenessMonth, ACAAM joins #SAMHSA in celebrating the strength of individuals in recovery and reaffirming our commitment to reducing stigma, advancing evidence-based care, and building communities where recovery is supported and possible for all.

It's reckless & disrespectful for #988Lifeline & #SAMHSA to allow #AI into crisis line space. #CrisisLines workers will need to organize - contact me.

If we wait until more & more contracts are held by tech companies w their own "AI" products, organizing won't be possible.

I also worry about #ICE

This World Suicide Prevention Day, remember that 988 is always there. So is your local crisis system: mobile teams, stabilization centers, and community clinics. Know and share what's available before you need it. Building awareness saves lives. 🔗 samhsa.gov/mental-health/988/faqs #SAMHSA
