For the last 40 years, Montana has ranked among the top five states in the U.S. for suicides per capita. Suicide has a devastating effect on the people in our State. The MT 988 Project works to bring understanding about this issue to people across Montana. By engaging in learning, understanding, reflection, and outreach, the MT 988 Project works to provide better awareness of suicide and share vital information about its prevention. This project is being developed and implemented to empower and help people and communities throughout the State.
