In our quest to help end the silence, stigma, and suffering that surround mental illness, Rural Minds is partnering with the National Grange to address the current mental health emergency in rural America. Compared to people who live in urban areas, residents of rural communities have higher rates of depression and suicide, but are less likely to access mental healthcare services. Studies have also indicated that suicide rates among people who live in rural counties are 25% higher than people who live in major metropolitan areas. Our aim in collaborating with the Grange is to develop a grassroots, person-to-person approach to providing people who live in rural communities with mental health and suicide prevention information by working with local Granges, civic groups, and community leaders across the country.
