Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to care. We can all make a difference in someone's life by learning how to support those considering suicide. Together, we can create a stronger, more compassionate community. samhsa.gov/suicide #SPM24

But we know that food insecurity does not happen in isolation and often there are underlying structural factors that contribute to someone not having enough food to eat.

Secretary Val Arkoosh (@padhsarkoosh) 's Twitter Profile Photo

In addition to providing nutrition benefits, we also must address the root causes of food insecurity such as lack of stable employment, training, or access to good paying jobs and larger societal issues like racism and intergenerational poverty.

Every Pennsylvanian with intellectual disabilities & autism deserves to receive the services they need when they need them, but for too long, PA has had a system that results in years-long waiting lists for ID/A services instead of providing the right supports at the right time.

With these most recent budget wins, we can get to work and become a leader in the home and community-based services space by beginning the process of eliminating the waiting list for services and investing in our ID/A service providers and direct support professionals.
