## Resource

At just fourteen, Jace Woods in Idaho couldn’t get the help he needed from the 988 crisis hotline—thanks to confusing parental consent laws that cut his call short. But instead of giving up, he became a relentless advocate, pushing lawmakers to change the system. His persistence paid off: Idaho now lets minors access immediate crisis support via 988 and offers follow-up calls within 48 hours if suicidal thoughts are detected. The hotline’s director called the old law a “chilling effect,” and now they’re seeing more calls, texts, and chats—proof that young voices can—and do—make real change. Jace’s message? If he could change a state law, anyone can. Help is always three digits away, 24/7. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
