𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions, yet many people face barriers to seeking support. Increasing awareness can help reduce stigma and encourage earlier intervention and treatment.

Mental Health America offers free, confidential mental health screening tools that can help individuals better understand what they may be experiencing and identify next steps for seeking support.

CMU Rural Health Excellence Institute’s PRiSMM team had the opportunity to take part in the Kiersten's Ride Su***de Prevention Conference in Charlevoix this week. The conference brought together community leaders, healthcare professionals, educators, and prevention advocates committed to strengthening mental health and su***de prevention efforts across Michigan.

We appreciated the opportunity to reconnect with keynote speaker Dr. Tony Thrasher, Medical Director for the Crisis Services Branch of the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division, to learn new areas of concern, methods to address and support mental health with our youth. Collaborating with our statewide partners dedicated to advancing su***de prevention, postvention, tools and resources for su***de loss survivors.

Many thanks to Lisa Clavier, Founder and President of Kiersten's Ride 501c3, Barb Smith Su***de Resource & Response Network (SRRN), for the support and endless efforts in creating a meaningful space to share resources, strengthen connections, and support healthier rural communities.
