I was joined by @danielsparents, who tragically lost their son, Daniel, to suicide at 30 because he didn't get the care he deserved. Now, they are tireless advocates for fixing and reforming the broken healthcare system at the @DeptVetAffairs.

I am honored to work with them, but it shouldn’t take parents and a loss like the Somers family experienced to change the system. Instead, we should be reducing the stigma that prevents so many from getting help.
