We deliver mental health programs, advocate for mental health policy change, and provide peer support.

Get ready for another round of #30Days30Stories

For every day of National Suicide Prevention Month in September, one story of resilience will be released online to share a message of hope and help to those who may be struggling. Submissions are welcome.

Our #30Days30Stories project will be back this Sep

Our #30Days30Stories project will be back this September! This powerful project tells the stories of 30 youth and young adults who have faced and overcome adversity resulting from mental health challenges and/or suicide ideation, risks, attempts, and loss. For every day of September (which is National Suicide Prevention Month), one story of resilience will be released online to share a message of hope and help to those who may be struggling. WE INVITE YOU TO SUBMIT YOUR STORY. If you have gone through a mental health challenge or felt the impact of suicide, this project is an opportunity for you to be empowered by sharing your story. You can help someone in similar circumstances navigate those challenges and learn about the resources necessary to find their own hope and resilience. Find links to learn more in the comments.

Today's the day! The National Suicide Prevention L

Today's the day! The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has transitioned to the three-digit number 988 and will be recognized as @988lifeline. Like 911, but for mental health crisis response, this number is a direct connection to compassionate and professional support for anyone who may be struggling with emotional distress, experiencing suicidal thoughts or who is concerned about a family member or friend with a mental health or substance use issue. 988 will become the second-most recognized and important phone number in America and opens the door to millions of people seeking help 24/7. In South Dakota 988 will be answered by @helplinecenter, staffed by individuals with advanced degrees and experience in behavioral health. This team will provide follow-up and referrals for callers and will partner with other behavioral health and emergency response professionals to offer the most compassionate, comprehensive, and effective care necessary. Text and chat services will also be provided through 988.
