The Need for Action is Urgent. The Time is NOW.

National action is urgently needed to address mental health and suicide prevention during the COVID-19 pandemic—not only to meet the current needs, but so we emerge stronger and more resilient than we were before the pandemic.

Our Opportunity

Mobilizing an action-oriented national response.

The Action Alliance’s Mental Health & Suicide Prevention National Response to COVID-19 (National Response)

The National Response is a diverse, nonpartisan public-private partnership committed to driving meaningful, lasting change in mental health and suicide prevention through collaboration, leadership, and action. We are working to create sustainable and comprehensive solutions to the mental health impacts of this pandemic, while also preparing to address future needs by mitigating risks and building resiliency.

Our National Response Co-Chairs

“The collective work has the potential to change the way our country views, treats, and talks about mental health and suicide for generations to come.”

“This pandemic will fuel the fire of our country’s mental health crisis unless organizations unite in a call to action. There’s no more time for debate and discussion—we need all-hands-on-deck to fast track the strategies we know will work.”
