AFSP was proud to participate in this event. People living in rural areas may experience a higher risk of su***de due in part to lack of services, geographic distancing, or stigma against seeking help. AFSP advocates for access to culturally appropriate and evidence-based mental health care and su***de prevention services to support these communities. We applaud Senator Helming's work to move this Bill forward.

Sen. Pam Helming joined rural leaders at Bloomfield Schools urging Gov. Hochul to sign a bill creating a Rural Su***de Prevention Council, aiming to tackle rural challenges and expand mental health resources.
