We are urging states to include people with serious mental illness and substance use disorders in Phase 1-C of COVID vaccinations because they are at higher risk of contracting #COVID19. APA and our members will continue to promote policies that keep our patients safe.

"The problem with many administrators who talk about a target of "zero suicide" is that when suicide does occur, it can lead to the erroneous conclusion that someone is to blame." See my comments in a good piece on patient suicide: medscape.com/viewarticle/939… via @medscape
