Greetings from the MHLC…

Introducing our new feature MHLC News Loop where we share news and publications related to MHL and ask YOU for your feedback about them.

We're advancing MHL one feedback loop at a time!

Our first MHLC News Loop article comes to us from Mashable and features Dr. John Ackerman, clinical manager for the Center for Suicide Prevention and Research at Nationwide Children's Hospital. In the article, Dr. Ackerman, a colleague of the MHLC, shares his insights about Instagram's plans and how they may address teen suicide risk.

NOW It's your turn! Read the article here. Then share your feedback either on our LinkedIn Post OR via email at info@themhlc.org. Thanks for helping us advance conversations related to MHL!
