North Dakota Health and Human Services awards six organizations with suicide prevention grants
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – North Dakota Health and Human Services announced the recipients for its suicide prevention funding initiative this past week.

The groups are: Minot State University’s Center for Persons with Disabilities, Peer Vision for Mental Health, Haugen Performance Consulting, Eyes on the Horizon Consulting, Consensus Council and Cook Center for Human Connection.
“Prevention of suicide is possible. Early intervention is prevention, and we all have the same collective goal of reducing and eliminating suicide in the state of North Dakota,” said Melissa Markegard, suicide prevention administrator for HHS.
