The Roles of Culture and Collaboration in Preventing Suicide and Substance Misuse in Indigenous Communities
A Pacific Southwest and Northwest Prevention Technology Transfer Centers Live Webinar

OVERVIEW
Both suicide and substance misuse continue to be significant issues within indigenous communities, but effective solutions are available and within our reach. Through local community partnerships and cultural practices, we can successfully reduce the multiple, shared factors that impact many health issues, including behavioral health challenges. This webinar will provide an overview of the connections between suicide and substance misuse, the necessity of community partnerships, and ways in which culture can prevent suicide and substance misuse.
