Cultivating holistic rural wellness through free educational resources
Strengthening the Heartland, a program created by South Dakota State University Extension and North Dakota State University Extension to invest in the wellness and prosperity of rural communities across the Dakotas.
Strengthening the Heartland (STH) developed through the collaborative efforts of faculty from South Dakota State University Extension and North Dakota State University Extension. With generous grant support from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the mission of STH is to invest in the wellness and prosperity of rural communities across the Dakotas.
LaunchSkills is a FREE curriculum we are developing to fill the gap.
Small Towns. Big Hearts. National Impact.
Through our work, we believe that educating communities of all sizes, even the smallest, can have a big impact. Through our programming, we've been able to:
- Impact 7,249 individuals from 63 rural communities across the Dakotas with opioid misuse prevention training.
- Through our Addiction Conference, 41 professionals provided hour-long sessions to a total of 910 attendees from 29 states.
Strengthening the Heartland hosts quarterly webinars for practitioners and human service professionals.
Have a question or want to be a part of our team? We’d love to meet you!
