But suicide is a terrible and growing problem, especially in rural America, and we relay these resources to anyone who has questions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that rural counties...

Re: Counting on Community Symposium 2019 Highlights
This sounds like a wonderful event, I love the pictures (fist bump!), and this seems like a model that could be replicated elsewhere. Developing a book based on the "Counting on Humboldt" conversations is brilliant! I look forward to seeing the book, and hearing more about all the ways positive ripples travel across the wider community! NICE work! Kudos to all! Karen

Growing up in the 1980’s in a relatively conservative town, I was closeted (even to myself) until I was a young adult. The pain and fear of being different, of not belonging, of being judged or rejected for who I was more than my adolescent brain could wrap its conscious head around.
