Farmworker advocates who attended our recent webinar with California Farmworker Foundation told us they have decent access to Spanish-language #suicideprevention resources — but that other mental health resources are scarce. That’s why MiSalud’s same-day virtual care offers programs specific to #mentalhealth. We’ve got to support people in need sooner, and we have to do more to recognize the specific needs of field worker populations in agriculture, energy, construction and other on-site roles: Many that we’ve spoken with don’t speak English well, see asking for help as a sign of weakness, or can’t afford to miss work for an appointment. Flexible virtual appointment times, Spanish-first care and our understanding of how to ease people into conversations about mental health build the trust needed for people to seek and use support resources earlier in their period of need. If you are in crisis, call 988 for urgent support in Spanish or English. And if you are an employer that seeks to prevent that crisis call, let’s talk. #SuicidePreventionMonth #SPM24

988 is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline available 24/7 in English or Spanish

A time to remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge the millions more who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families, and communities that have been impacted by suicide.

If you or a loved one is thinking about suicide, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately. #SPM24 #BeThere
