SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has joined the Operation Disrupt initiative aimed at preventing suicide by posting mental health crisis support information at Illinois state parks. Signs displaying the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number and website, both of which are available 24 hours a day, will be posted in at least 17 IDNR sites in remote locations around Illinois, including Starved Rock, Giant City and Pere Marquette. "Illinois state parks and trails are a beautiful, peaceful respite for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year," said IDNR Director Colleen Callahan.
