Fueling up at Bangkok Thai before the @aCriticalCause stream. I'm on at 10pm CDT but it looks like they're playing Overcooked 2 at the moment. You can find them on twitch, CriticalCauseFund or via criticalcause.org

It’s never too early to start the conversation on #mentalhealth. “Because it’s easier to talk about mental health when somebody is willing to listen.” 📹 Watch Kieran's story: loom.ly/IzKmbFc #FindyourBeCause @ACriticalCause #Winnipeg #BellLetsTalk #ForGoodForever

All the activity tonight got me thinking about last year's @aCriticalCause stream-a-thon. I don't have the energy to construct a thread at the moment, but I've had a lot of experiences in the year since.

I believe in what @TakeThisOrg @CrisisTextLine and @afspnational do. They offer help for anyone wanting it. You don't have to go alone. Reaching out for help is not weakness. You matter to someone. Help is always available.
