Strength looks like reaching out. 💙

In 2024, su***de-related deaths were four times higher among males than females.

This , let’s remember that seeking help is a sign of strength. By supporting one another, fighting su***de, and challenging stigma, we can build a future where no one suffers alone.

🌟 Attention Businesses and Organizations! 🌟

Do you have a wall that could become a mural? Want to help spread hope in our community?

The Su***de Prevention Coalition of Yellowstone Valley is seeking locations for our next round of murals, to be painted in late summer/early fall 2026. In collaboration with RiverStone Health, these murals will share positive messages of hope and resiliency and include a reference to the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Ideal mural spaces include:
• Public-facing, highly visible locations
• Areas with strong foot or vehicle traffic
• Schools, businesses, and neighborhoods ready for more color and connection

A call for artists will be announced soon—and everyone is invited to apply! Participating wall partners will be invited to take part in the selection process, including helping choose the artist and approving the final mural design.

Interested in offering a wall or learning more?
Submit entries by June 30th via email: [email protected]

Let’s work together to create lasting messages of hope. 💜

Supporting youth mental health is a shared responsibility. 💚

Families, schools, healthcare providers, and communities all play a role in early identification and support. Creating space for open conversations can help young people feel seen, heard, and connected.

Checking in, listening without judgment, and knowing the warning signs can make a difference. Small conversations today can build trust and resilience for the future.

Visit https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone for tips and resources on supporting youth mental health.
