On a Montana Reservation, Strengthening Tribal Identity to Prevent Youth Suicide
For children and families of historically underrepresented communities, evidence-based programs that draw on cultural roots offer the greatest opportunities for success.
This realization informs the work of Wa'Kan Ye'Zah or "Little Holy One." With support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the project is applying an innovative culturally oriented approach to curtail youth substance abuse and suicide at Montana's Fort Peck Reservation.
