Both are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

Mission and programs · 2023

• In 2023, NowMattersNow.org made substantial progress in suicide prevention and support through research, program development, and expanded user engagement. These achievements reflect our commitment to providing accessible, evidence-based resources for those experiencing suicidal thoughts and intense emotions. Research Publication: We published a critical paper titled, Reframing the Key Questions Regarding Screening for Suicide Risk (Simon, GE; Richards, JE; Whiteside, U.), in JAMA, 329(23), pp. 2026-2027 (2023). This publication addresses core questions around suicide risk screening with the goal of advancing practical, patient-centered approaches in suicide prevention. Website Reach and Crisis Connection: Our website engaged over 40,000 unique users in 2023. Through this online presence, we facilitated connections to live crisis services for more than 300 individuals in need of immediate support. This reach demonstrates the practical impact of our digital platform as a bridge to life-saving resources for those at risk. Grant Acquisition and Program Expansion: We secured a significant grant to enhance our website and develop a peer support program. This funding supports a comprehensive redesign of our website to improve accessibility, navigability, and functionality, making our resources more inclusive, particularly for users with disabilities. Long-term Project Goals: In alignment with our long-term mission, we have begun a project with goals extending into 2024 and beyond, including: Enhanced Website Accessibility: Creating a more accessible, user-centered website to support diverse user needs. Expanded DBT Content and Skills: Adding 20 new DBT skills, each complemented by original content, lived experience stories, and community tips. These resources emphasize the "why", and "how" of skill application, equipping users with actionable strategies for emotional regulation and crisis management. Virtual Peer Support Pilot Program: Developing and piloting virtual peer support meetings focused on emotion coping skills throughout 2024, aiming to establish a sustainable support network for individuals seeking peer-led guidance. These initiatives, combined with our digital reach and connections to crisis services, reflect NowMattersNow.org's dedication to making mental health resources accessible and impactful. Through these expanded efforts, we continue to bridge critical gaps in suicide prevention and emotional support.
