Welcome...

Welcome to the Leadership21 blog, an ongoing conversation on mental health, civil rights and social justice. Posting on the blog are twelve young mental health advocates who comprise the L21 commitee, and anything goes--the personal, the political, the cultural, whatever! We hope that you'll check out what's here, and make some comments, and please know that if you're concerned about anonymity, you can comment anonymously. We hope that what you read, and what you contribute, will make you want to return regularly, because to our knowledge, there really isn't anything out there that has the potential to engage people on so many levels about mental health. But we need "outsiders" like you to make it grow into a robust, contagious online blog. So thanks for coming, welcome to the conversation, and please, pass it on--L21

Behold, the Power of YouTube

I just saw CNN link to this story--apparently a man in Orlando posted his last will and testament on YouTube before taking a large quantity of pills, and someone in NY saw the video in time and was able to call the police in Florida. The police were able to locate the man, who was unresponsive, and he's now in the hospital.

Dear New Yorker, whoever and wherever you are, thank you.
