Free Virtual Events for North Dakota Families
From September 2024 to May 2025, monthly virtual events will tell the stories of the My Life is Worth Living characters to break down the stigma of talking about mental health needs and thoughts of suicide.
These virtual events are free, family-friendly, and geared to teens and young adults – And open to every North Dakotan.
My Life is Worth Living
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people aged 10 to 24. However, research shows that connections to friends, family, and community can be the difference between life and death.
My Life is Worth Living is the first animated series that models that crucial human connection.
The series tells stories of seven characters who face some of the most difficult issues that young people deal with and their evolution in the key decision: THAT LIFE IS WORTH LIVING.
