On February 8 2000, Danielle Steel testified in front of congress on
behalf of her late bipolar son who completed suicide at the age of 19.
Could you please help me find out who also testified to congress
regarding mental health issues on this day? The following is a site
containing her testimony for your reference:

Thank you.
Hello lizwolfe-ga,
According to the Congressional Record, eight people testified about
suicide that day. I?ve provided you with the testimony for the
witnesses whenever possible and for the ones that the entire testimony
is not readily found I?ve provided links that will tell you why they
are considered experts on suicide.
I wish you well for your project.

An Understanding of Suicide
Speaker: Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D, author and Professor of
Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Dr. Jamison emphasized that living with thoughts of suicide can
undermine, devastate, and destroy personality. Reading from the
prologue of her book, Night Falls Fast, she recalled that in her
senior year of high school, she perceived suicide as the solution to
an unendurable level of mental pain. Though gradually the depression
lifted, it returned in later years. As a 28-year-old junior faculty
member with damaging mania and psychotic depression, she took a
massive dose of lithium and nearly died.

Miss Illinois spends year's reign advocating for mental health awareness
When a close friend of Miss Illinois 1999, Jade Smalls, committed
suicide, the pageant winner felt a very deep loss. On February 8, the
Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human
Services, Education, and Related Agencies held a hearing on suicide
prevention that included testimony from Jade. She spoke of the
immediate need to educate youth about mental illnesses that can lead
to suicide when not detected early and treated appropriately.
