Hello.
My name is Kabedi Mutamba and I am a reporter with ABC 6 News.

I understand this is a difficult topic, so I’ll start by warning that this post contains a bit about mental health/suicide.

MDH reported in July that they’ve seen an consistent increase in 988 calls since the launch of the new dialing code.
I’m doing a a story on that change to 988 and how it’s increased accessibility to crisis services and whether peope have found 988 to be helpful.

If you have used the 988 hotline before and wouldn’t mind sharing with me your thoughts and experiences with it, feel free to private message me.

Thanks.

Hello.
My name is Kabedi Mutamba and I am a reporter with KAAL-TV6. I am seeing that loneliness has been flagged as a social/mental health issue nationally for quite some time and it is increasing according to recent polling.

I am wondering if anyone can give me insight on their experience trying to make friends or find community in Rochester (good, bad, easy, hard, etc).

Please either comment below or DM me.

Thank you.
