Rural communities are at the heart of ND THRIVES’ mission to foster resilient, strength-based mental health systems for youth aged 10-24. Supporting these communities enhances access to care, empowers local resources, and promotes well-being in areas often facing unique challenges—discover how we’re working to make a difference.
Tribal communities hold rich cultural traditions and unique strengths that are central to holistic mental health and wellness. ND THRIVES collaborates with tribal nations to honor these traditions, improve access to culturally sensitive supports, and nurture resilience among Indigenous youth.
Healthy providers are the foundation of effective youth support. ND THRIVES prioritizes the wellbeing of mental health professionals and caregivers, ensuring they have the resources, support, and resilience necessary to serve our communities with compassion and effectiveness.
Reducing access to lethal means is a proven strategy to prevent youth suicides. ND THRIVES focuses on promoting safe storage practices and community awareness, empowering families and caregivers to protect at-risk youth and save lives.
