Dying early from the 5 leading causes of death when the death could have been prevented is more common among people living in rural areas compared to those living in urban areas.

Together, we can take steps to lower these rates in the future.

In numerous states, foster care youth entitled to survivor and disability benefits find state agencies claiming these benefits without notifying the child or relatives. Erin Moriarty talks with young people who were denied tens of thousands of dollars. https://t.co/n0nXwMJAX5

[Michele Payn @mpaynspeaker]

Let's break the cycle. Farmers & ranchers are not supernatural humans that don't need help or have mental health issues. Would you ask for help if your leg was broken? The same needs to happen for broken emotions. See https://t.co/lOYXlPaTw3 for resources for help.

@ArlieColes @annelisewiens I love those books. Father Tim is at the center but really they are about the whole community. The movie doesn’t feel authentic to the book.
