The National Grange has partnered with Rural Minds, a nonprofit confronting mental health challenges in rural America, to develop a Rural Suicide Awareness and Prevention program that uses a grassroots, person-to-person approach to providing information and resources. This also dovetails with the National Grange’s efforts to provide broadband access to telemedicine through which rural Americans can better reach mental health experts and clinicians.

Vice President of Communications Julie Lux represented Rural Minds in Fort Worth, TX, at AgRally 2023 – a live, nationally-broadcast television show on RFD-TV and the Cowboy Channel that celebrated National Ag Day. During the second hour of the show, Julie was featured along with Farm Fit Momma Amanda Nigg in a segment that provided tips on mental and physical wellness.
