I was inspired by my friend, Sally Spencer-Thomas with her blog post, "Five Things You Can Do With Social Media to Prevent Suicide and Promote Mental Health". A psychologist and teacher turned non-profit CEO, Sally is part of a vibrant community of professionals dedicated to suicide prevention.

No matter what your cause, you can learn from how Sally is using social media to create conversation, correct inaccuracies in the mainstream media, and spur others to action.
