Many people have experienced stressful situations and been uncertain where to go for help or how to respond effectively to mental health challenges. The NDSU Extension Service is working to bring more educational resources to local citizens and communities for the purpose of supporting emotional and behavioral health needs.

Shaundra Ziemann-Bolinske, NDSU Extension agent and Captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, addressed the topic of behavioral health and responding to individuals in distress in a keynote speech at the Bismarck Veteran’s Services Memorial Day event. For further information on supporting emotional and behavioral health, particularly in support of veterans and their families, please watch this educational video.
