Vibrant joined other mental health organizations to endorse the Barriers to Suicide Act, introduced by Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Don Beyer (D-VA). The legislation would help communities across the country install barriers and nets on bridges, diverting the moment of crisis so that individuals who are at risk for suicide-by-jumping can receive the care and support they need. Vibrant and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration have found that nets and barriers effectively reduce bridge-related suicides.
