“Too often, parents lose a child to suicide. In Chinese culture, we value education, but there is no mention of psychological health. As a nurse, I didn’t have training in mental health. I had to learn from my daughter.”

The Mental Health First Aid Trainings aim to educate the community about mental health and boost their ability to prevent or handle crises, allowing them to become "mental health guardians" for themselves and their loved ones.
Managed by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, this certification course equips attendees with skills to recognize and respond to crises and substance abuse symptoms. Successful participants earn a globally recognized "MHFA Certificate".

在竞选中遭遇几乎致命的中风，当选参议员后，又被确诊为重度抑郁症，再次走到死亡的边缘……这就是宾州的民主党参议员约翰·费特曼在过去一年所经历的人生中的至暗时刻。
费特曼最近接受了《时代周刊》的采访，打破“公众人物不敢谈论自己精神健康问题”的禁忌，勇敢地公开了自己这一年来的痛苦历程。
When he looks back on the past year—a year in which he nearly died, became a U.S. Senator, and nearly died again—
Senator Fetterman has settled in to talk, through tears, about his treatment for and recovery from the severe depression that followed.
Being survived, Fetterman emerged transformed, he says, and has become an evangelist for the treatment he believes saved his life. This openness about a serious, ongoing mental-health ordeal has put Fetterman in uncharted territory for an American politician.
