NC Black Youth Suicide Prevention Action Plan - Posted for Public Comment

The Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disability and Substance Use Services (DMH/DD/SUS) in the NC Department of Health and Human Services is developing a strategic plan dedicated to preventing suicide among Black youth. This is the first strategic plan of its kind in the history of DMH/DD/SUS. They want your input to make this the strongest plan possible. For that reason, they are seeking public comment on a draft of the plan. After reading the plan, please share your thoughts by filling out the feedback form by Friday, June 6, 2025.
