Episode Details

North Dakota is stepping up for Suicide Prevention Month with Governor Burgum leading the charge to build stronger, more connected communities where no one feels alone. With a 46% surge in calls to the 988 Lifeline this year—over 10,000 contacts—more people are seeking help, but tragically, 162 lives were lost by suicide last year. Officials stress that hope, life skills, and connection are key, urging everyone to strengthen ties with loved ones and use resources like Parents Lead’s school toolkit. Prevention isn’t just about crisis response—it’s about collective action: reaching out, listening, and supporting each other to turn isolation into belonging.
