This weekend, communities around the world celebrated World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10. But let's keep the conversation going by encouraging open conversations, reducing stigma, and connecting people with support and resources. Mental health is an important part of overall well-being.

We've been surveying journalism professionals working and living in the U.S. and territories. How many have responded? 81. How many do we still need to respond? Hundreds... thousands... more of you. accessiblejournalism.surveymars.com/q/y2hGhFumV
