Welcome, and thank you for participating in this crucial survey.  We deeply appreciate your time and contribution to this vital research initiative.

Your insights are invaluable as we strive to enhance our understanding of mental health, suicide prevention, and coping mechanisms within our community. The aim is to uncover areas that could benefit from further information, resources, and support to help individuals and families discuss mental health, recognize signs of distress, navigate help-seeking, and implement daily coping strategies effectively.

This survey, estimated to take 15 minutes, is designed to respect your confidentiality and anonymity. We acknowledge the sensitivity of the subjects covered and encourage you to proceed in a way that feels comfortable to you, with the option to skip any question.

Should any content cause discomfort or if you're in need of support, please reach out to available mental health resources: Call 988 the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or Text TALK to 741741 to text with a trained crisis counselor from the Crisis Text Line for free, 24/7.
