#Suicide: What if it's #Poverty? #TiffanyTagbo "We tell people to reach out, then they reach out to agencies with closed waiting lists. We tell them help is available, then require seventeen documents to #PROVEtheyDESERVEit. We tell them not to give up, then send them another denial."
What If the Thing Making You Want to Die Is Poverty?
For Suicide Prevention Month, perhaps prevention should mean more than keeping someone alive for another night.

For 15 years, over 90 psychiatric hospitals across the country have violated a law giving patients access to emergency care, with or without insurance. Almost all the facilities faced the same lack of consequences, a ProPublica investigation found. (Published Sept. 2025)
Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences.
