National Institute of Mental Health

The National Institute of Mental Health is named in the book’s closing materials as a resource and among the institutions whose experts receive thanks. Its brief appearance connects the story’s treatment of mental health and suicide with information and expertise beyond the narrative, without specifying the Institute’s role in the characters’ lives.

Resource Listing

The closing resource list gives the Institute’s name, the abbreviation NIMH, and its website, nimh.nih.gov. This places it among the book’s references for readers, rather than within the plot as an organization encountered by the characters.

Acknowledgment

The book also thanks experts at the National Institute of Mental Health, alongside experts at the American Association of Suicidology and the Mayo Clinic. The acknowledgment identifies the Institute as one of the expert communities recognized in the book’s preparation, but does not detail particular contributions.

Place in the Book

The Institute’s two mentions occur in the back matter: one directs readers to its online presence, and the other recognizes its experts. Together, these references frame the book’s engagement with mental health and suicide as connected to external resources and expertise; the text does not provide further institutional history or describe a direct intervention in the story.
