What we say behind a screen 💻 can hurt just as much as words spoken face-to-face. Cyberbullying can happen anytime, anywhere—and it can impact a child’s emotional and mental well-being 💔.
Help your child understand that kindness, empathy, and respect matter in every space—including online 🌐.
Encourage them to:
✔️ Think before they post 🤔
✔️ Choose kindness in comments and messages 💬💖
✔️ Speak up or get help if they see bullying 🗣️🆘
Kindness online starts with conversation at home 🏡💬.

The 2026 N.D. measles case count rose over the weekend to 6 confirmed cases, including 5 in Pembina Co. and 1 in Williams Co. One person is hospitalized; four are over age 19. There are numerous public exposure locations that people contagious with measles visited. Others present at the identified locations on the dates and identified time spans could have been exposed to measles. See details and what to do if you were exposed to measles at hhs.nd.gov/measles.

Unvaccinated people are most at risk. However, as more measles cases circulate in the community, communities lose the benefit of community immunity (herd immunity), which is achieved when more than 95% of people in a community are vaccinated. This puts everyone at higher risk, especially the very young, individuals who are older, or immune compromised, and those who cannot be vaccinated for other health reasons.

Another measles case was confirmed in Pembina Co. Check your vaccination status by contacting your health provider or visiting www.hhs.nd.gov/IRR. The MMR vaccine offers the best protection against measles. Pembina Co. Public Health is holding a vaccination clinic Saturday, Feb. 14, 10 a.m.-noon at their office. Please call 701-265-4248 for an appointment time. Individuals who are sick should stay home and should call their health provider before going in to be tested or treated for complications. This protects others. Learn more at hhs.nd.gov/measles.
