MHA Webinar: Cultivating Hope, Suicide Prevention and Resilience in Rural Communities
Rural Minds Founder and Chairman Jeff Winton joined Mental Health America for a free webinar, "Cultivating Hope: Suicide Prevention and Resilience in Rural Communities," held in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day.
The session looked at the stressors that set rural and agricultural communities apart, including geographic isolation, limited access to care, and stigma that keeps people from asking for help. It also covered practical ways to start supportive conversations about suicide and how to connect people in crisis with rural mental health networks, telehealth options, and hotlines.
