Concord, NH – Today, Governor Chris Sununu, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, NAMI New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, and other stakeholders recognized Suicide Prevention Awareness Week, discussed the community impact of NH Rapid Response/988, and launched a new public awareness campaign for behavioral health promotion.

"When we're talking about mental health and suicide prevention, we're talking about people," said Governor Chris Sununu.
