Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
The suicide rate for young Indigenous men is 2x-4x higher than for other demographic groups. Causes include cultural disruption, historical trauma, grief, and health and social inequities. Prevention of self-harm is a core responsibility of healthcare. A rural clinic serving Indigenous people will implement a Zero Suicide Framework with input from local tribal members. Community members will help develop risk assessments, quality of life surveys, and the facilitation of participation in traditional cultural activities. This will protect by strengthening of belonging, connection, strong spirituality and physical health, and relationship within the community and with the natural world.
