## Resource

Three hundred runners took part in Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson’s 5K for Mental Health Awareness, a massive leap from last year’s 25 — proving community support is growing. The event, held during Alaska’s long winter, encouraged movement and conversation, with mental health resources on hand to normalize seeking help. While the DoD reports an 11% drop in service member suicides in 2024, Alaska still faces some of the nation’s highest rates — underscoring the need to break stigma. Mental health is just as vital as physical health, and resources like True North, chaplains, Military OneSource, and the 988 Lifeline are available to everyone — service members, families, and all who need support.
