My heart is full. Yesterday, the UNC Suicide Prevention Institute hosted its annual forum “Suicide Prevention Best Practices and Innovations at UNC Chapel Hill.” This year, we turned our focus towards clinicians, residents, and other clinical folks to provide them the critical knowledge of suicide prevention. We shared findings from new studies, explored new interventions, and most importantly heard from community partners about the great work they are doing. A movement is being created in our state and we are determined to help all North Carolinians thrive. Happy to connect with new community partners in this work Reggie Winston. Check out his amazing work and connect with him. In partnership with Rodney E. Harris, PhD, LCMHCS, NCC, DCC, BCC, BC-TMH, they are decreasing mental health stigma in the state with the use of mobile barber services.

"One thing that has become clear to me is the importance of maintaining momentum for change. Momentum is the force that turns ideas into action and propels initiatives forward. ncIMPACT plays a crucial role in building and maintaining momentum by engaging diverse groups of stakeholders, responding to community feedback, and adjusting strategies as needed." Keep reading about how momentum powers change and other takeaways from our latest Facts That Matter Blog, written by #ncIMPACT's new Lead Data and Policy Analyst, Jacob Hunter. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ec-WaQVa
