ADAA Extends Its
Global Reach
Nuevo!
Recursos En Español
ADAA ha lanzado nuevos recursos para personas que hablan el español y profesionales que trabajan con la comunidad latina. ADDA launched its first
Spanish language website page this month. The page includes all of the Spanish-language resources that are currently available on the ADAA website. We hope to greatly expand our Spanish offerings over the next year. A warm "gracias" to Julia Gallegos Guajardo from the Universidad de Monterrey and Kaylie Patrick from Harvard for their work on translating the content of the website and for translating two ADAA brochures.
View/download the brochures.
ADAA also extends a big thank you to
Meru Health who graciously volunteered to translate the Anxiety and Depression brochure into
Finnish! A big thank you to Ms Marianne Heikkala and Kristian Ranta of Meru Health for the translation.

Glow Again Depression Fundraiser
After a couple meetings of brainstorming about 24 students in the two year Health Tech Preparatory program at Junior Lake High School in Stark County Ohio) came up with the idea to do a glow in the dark depression awareness walk around our high school stadium and track called "Glow Again." We decided to call it glow again because by the end of the event, we wanted those struggling with depression to be "glowing" and those who haven't struggled to stand with the others to "glow."

Suicide Prevention
People who are considering suicide often exhibit one or more warning signs, either through what they say or do. The more warning signs, the greater the risk. ADAA partners with
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
(AFSP) to offer helpful guides and resources to identify warning signs and to take action. In addition, ADAA also recently collaborated with
SAVE on a new infographic to help someone who might be suicidal.

of this infographic. Learn more about suicide prevention by visiting

Kayleigh's Story
I have battled more at the age of 25 than most humans do in a lifetime. Take a moment to think of the most dreadfully painful experience you have had - I can empathize with you. In my life, I have overcome two near death experiences. One at the age of 11 which left me in a coma, the other at 21 where I was fighting against a collapsed lung and losing a lot of blood. My suffering has not only been painful physically but mentally.
Each month ADAA will feature a thank you note, or a personal story of triumph. We invite you to share your own story with us or share how ADAA has helped you or a loved one.
