Over several decades, CANHR has designed programs that aim to build up a community’s endemic strengths, rather than solely treating the risks facing individuals within that community. By providing support and resources that enable access to Alaska Native cultural activities, they hope to strengthen social bonds that build resilience. Their approach has shown such promise that it’s now being piloted in Alaska’s military population – another demographic highly impacted by suicide – with hopes that the model could scale both nationally and abroad. #aian #alaska #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #healthequity #militaryhealth #publichealth https://lnkd.in/g4w9WW6F
