Mental Health matters -- no matter where you live. If someone you live is having thoughts of su***de, here are 5 steps you can take to help:

✅ ASK: "Are you thinking about su***de?" It's a hard question but can help start an important conversation.
✅ BE THERE: Listen without judgement to learn how the person is feeling.
✅HELP KEEP THEM SAFE: Reducing access to highly lethal items or places can help prevent su***de.
✅HELP THEM CONNECT: Call or text 988 to connect them to the su***de & crisis lifeline. Help them reach out to other family, friends, or mental health professionals.
✅FOLLOW UP: Checking in to see how they are doing can make a real difference in their life.

Harvest season is here. 🚜

That means you'll likely encounter tractors, combines and other slow-moving equipment on North Dakota roads.

• Slow down.
• Never pass unless it's legal and safe.
• Give farmers plenty of room to work.

They're helping feed our communities. Let's help them get home safely.
