About Peer2Peer Support
The time following discharge from inpatient or emergency psychiatric care can be challenging for many people. There are often high rates of emergency department visits, re-admission to inpatient psychiatric care, and suicide.
Providing support in the community is critical after discharge from emergency or inpatient care to help you continue on your recovery journey, and there is growing research and data that indicates that engagement with peer support during this time can be incredibly important and effective.
Mental Health Minnesota's Peer2Peer program provides innovative peer support to help you stay well at home and in your community and avoid emergency department visits and inpatient psychiatric care. We provide this support during a 12-week program that provides peer support through telehealth via Zoom, all free of charge. ... See MoreSee Less

From Mental Health First Aid on October 25, 2024
To say 2024 has been challenging is an understatement. News cycles filled with natural disasters and stories of war make it easy to feel like we can’t catch a break. On top of that, a presidential election. This election cycle feels unique: The stakes feel higher, and the news coverage can feel inescapable.
Even if you’re not plugged into the news 24/7, conversations about the election are everywhere. It’s important to prioritize your mental wellbeing as stress around the election can compound and have a negative effect on your physical and mental health. According to the American Psychological Association, the presidential election is among top stressors in the U.S., with 69% of adults reporting it as a significant source of stress. Around a third of adults (32%) reported the political climate has caused strain between them and their family members. ... See MoreSee Less

FCC approves georouting for 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, clearing the way for more localized care
Since the Lifeline launched under its new three-digit number in July 2022, over 5.5 million contacts, including calls, texts and chats, were reported, according to officials.
The Federal Communications Commission unanimously voted Thursday to approve new rules requiring all wireless carriers to implement georouting for calls to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in a move it says will help "save more lives."
"Time and again, across many different communities, I have heard stories of how important the 988 Lifeline is for individuals in need of support," Commissioner Anna Gomez said during the FCC's Thursday meeting. ... See MoreSee Less
