Twitter® Resources - Suicide Prevention


Twitter is a fun tool for quickly sharing information or plugging into a specific community.  Here are a few Tweeps in the suicide prevention community I follow:

@ArmyWellBeing   @MyArmyLife   @CounterSuicide   @TrevorProject   
@ ASPENWV   @ OutoftheDark_KC   @ YellowRibbonSPP   @ IASPinfo   @ jedfoundation

Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. Used sparingly and respectfully, hashtags can provide useful context and cues for recall, as well as increased utility for the track feature. Used excessively can cause annoyance, confusion or frustration, and may lead people to stop following you. It's best to use hashtags explicitly when they're going to add value, rather than on every word in an update. Here are some Hashtags I have used to find suicide prevention/mental health related conversations:
#suicide     #endstigma     #mentalhealth     #mentalillness     #yellowribbon

Please help me grow the list by sharing your Tweeps!
