Emotional Health in the News

Prince William speaks out about anxiety and suicide. The hashtag #anxietyepidemic has been introduced in coordination with a British conference on Mental Health. 

"If another issue took so many lives, there would be outcry. But around suicide only silence.  This has to stop."

I met up with a student last week up at Columbia University who is pushing the University to improve their response to emotional health.  During the past year, there has been a spate of suicides at Columbia.  Here is an article from the NY Post.
