Su***de is preventable, and anyone can make a difference. In our Indigenous communities, especially for our youth, having trained "gatekeepers" can be the difference between a crisis and a connection to life-saving help.

Upcoming Opportunities:
✅ ASIST: Learn su***de intervention skills in this intensive 2-day workshop on March 30–31 (Aquaplex) or May 18–19 (Moonshot Accelerator).
✅ safeTALK: A 4-hour session on April 17 to help you identify individuals with thoughts of su***de and connect them to resources.
✅ QPR: A 2-hour training on May 13 specifically customized for American Indian/Alaska Native communities by behavioral health experts.

📍 Where: United Way of Northern Arizona & other local venues.
💰 Cost: FREE.
