MORGANTOWN, Pa. — There’s a mental health emergency in rural America. People living in rural communities have much higher rates of depression and suicide than people living in urban areas. Though hidden away in the shadow for years, if not generations, this challenge is finally being brought into the light and has led to public discourse about the unspoken impact of mental health issues. The National Grange is partnering with Rural Minds to develop a Rural Suicide Awareness and Prevention program.
