New IHS Suicide Prevention PSA (media/Health)

New IHS Suicide Prevention Public Service Announcement Narrated by Indian Youth

We all remain very concerned and troubled about the high number of suicides in Indian Country. The IHS recently completed 10 Suicide Prevention Listening Sessions throughout Indian Country with our partners at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Department of the Interior. Comprehensive information about resources for suicide prevention can be found on the Suicide Prevention site. We are releasing a new public service announcement about suicide prevention that is narrated by Jack Herne, who is a 15-year old enrolled member of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe. We thank Jack for his inspiring words and commitment to help other young Indian people.
