Run for Hope 50 Mile Awareness Challenge

On January 22, 2019 President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer signed a Navajo Nation Proclamation declaring the Sunday through Saturday surrounding World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th Annually as "Navajo Nation Suicide Prevention Week." 

Therefore, the Division of Behavioral & Mental Health Services (DBMHS) is hosting "Run for Hope 50 mile Awareness Challenge" dedicated to trying to further the prevention of suicide by breaking the stigma that comes with dealing with depression & anxiety.
