## Resource

North Carolina just made a bold move to save student lives: Governor Josh Stein signed a new law requiring crisis hotline numbers on student IDs and school websites, starting this fall. With suicide the second-leading cause of death for teens and young adults in the state, this “Student Lifeline Act” puts mental health resources front and center — literally on their ID — so students can access help instantly when they’re overwhelmed. It’s about normalizing support, reducing stigma, and making mental health care as accessible as a phone number. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
