We are grateful for the recent media coverage helping spread the message of the St. Louis County Kindness Campaign across the Iron Range.

Thank you to Northern News Now and the Mesabi Tribune for helping share the story and raise awareness about the importance of kindness, connection, belonging, and mental well-being in our communities.

The Kindness Campaign is an initiative of the St. Louis County Su***de Prevention Coalition and was created to make caring visible. The Iron Range has always been a place where neighbors help neighbors, and these signs serve as a simple reminder that every person matters and that support is available.

A special thank you to Arrowhead Behavioral Health Initiative for helping fund this campaign, and to St. Louis County Public Health and our coalition partners who continue working together to strengthen mental well-being and su***de prevention efforts throughout our region.

Interested in displaying a Kindness Campaign sign at your home, business, or organization? Sign request information and media coverage links can be found in the comments below.

Together, we can continue building communities rooted in kindness, connection, and belonging.
