Alabama launches a new campaign to prevent veteran suicide

By MIKE CASON | al.com | Published: May 14, 2021 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Tribune News Service) Gov. Kay Ivey and other state officials have announced a new campaign to prevent suicide by veterans, who statistics show are more at risk for suicide than non-veterans. The campaign, called Alabama’s Challenge, is using public service announcements to raise awareness and partnerships to identify service members, veterans and their families who are struggling and connect them with the help they need. “Once someone has served our great nation, we owe it to these great men and women to help them enter civilian life,” Ivey said. “I can think of no better way to say, ‘thank you for your service’ than ensuring these heroes and their families have access to mental health resources when in need.”

Dwindling Alabama legislative clock could doom bill restricting transgender medical rights

Dwindling Alabama legislative clock could doom bill restricting transgender medical rights Updated 9:25 AM; The president of the nation’s largest LGBTQ lobbying group encouraged Alabama state lawmakers to “do your jobs” and “protect all constituents in Alabama” and not vote to advance legislation restricting certain medical care for transgender youths. But among supporters of controversial SB10, it could be the clock and not opposition from fellow Republicans, that becomes the bill’s undoing. The legislation passed overwhelmingly out of the Alabama Senate in early March, but remains stalled on the House floor and there is only one more day for lawmakers to act. The Legislature’s final session in which members of the legislative branch can advance bills to Gov. Kay Ivey’s desk is May 17.
