About Sarah Dixon-Hackey

Business & Marketing instructor by trade; Mental Health Advocate by chance and by choice.As the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Liaison for Clay County Public Health I work alongside my communiy to identify and bridge health gaps for under-served populations. In addition to my work with Public Health, I have spent 20 years as a business instructor in higher education and 8 years in direct programming for at-risk populations in Fargo, ND. Along with my professional work, I am deeply involved with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-ND Chapter. From 2014-2021, I served as Walk Chair for Fargo-Moorhead, the largest Out of the Darkness walk in the state. In the Fall of 2021, I was appointed State Field Advocate, serving as the lead advocate in North Dakota for public policies supporting mental and behavioral health. I am also a Community Trainer for the AFSP’s “More Than Sad” suicide prevention training for parents and educators, and a certified Mental Health First Aid Trainer, a nationally recognized program by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. This past year, in an effort to strengthen the work of mental health advocates across the state, I have launched a podcast where behavioral health professionals working in the trenches of the mental health crisis can share their stories of creating change in our system.
