To Live To See The Great Day That Dawns : Preventing Suicide By American Indian And Alaska Native Youth And Young Adults

Book Description:

Suicide and suicidal behavior are preventable. This fact has led communities across the Nation, including many American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, to implement programs that successfully reduce factors known to contribute to suicide by young people and strengthen factors known to help protect them against suicide. The approaches taken by these communities are based on the public health model, which means that they are proactive and holistic. The purpose of this guide is to support AI/AN communities and those who serve them in developing effective, culturally appropriate suicide prevention plans. This guide is for everyone who has a stake in the health and well-being of AI/AN youth and young adults. A print on demand report.
