Residents of De Soto enjoy the small town feel, while being relatively close to the bright lights of St. Louis. For a fun family outing, consider headed over to the Sandy Creek Bridge State Park, where you can examine one of only four remaining covered bridges in Missouri. If something active is your style, take the kids to Washington State Park, where you can roam the nearly 2,000 acres of forested area on hiking trails, or enjoy swimming, fishing, or canoeing in the lake.1 For big city excitement, travel an hour north to St. Louis to check out the Gateway Arch and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. The city also has many free attractions for families, including the museum of art, the zoo, and the science center.

Current Initiatives
The Missouri Department of Mental Health has undertaken two initiatives aimed at improving the mental health of the state's residents. The Suicide Prevention Program is designed to better inform the public about underlying issues that cause suicidal ideation, such as low self-esteem, family troubles, and bullying. The initiative also outlines steps that citizens can take to help reduce the occurrence of suicide, including reducing the stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment.4 The state's Trauma Initiative helps local mental health providers devise plans to better serve individuals who have experienced abuse, neglect, exploitation, or other forms of suffering. The goal of the initiative is to improve services to trauma victims in order to help them effectively overcome the life events that caused their suffering. Without effective treatment, continued distress is likely, including ongoing mental health issues, aggressive behaviors, and suicidal thoughts.5
