Suicide mortality, Washington, 1990-20093-year rolling averages25AI/ANWhiteAge-Adjusted Rate per 100,00020151050APC = -0.5%Focus on Community ProgramsThe NPAIHB is working with the NorthwestTribes to prevent suicide. In 2008 it hostedmeetings with regional partners to develop a5-year strategic plan: Northwest Suicide TribalAction Plan. The plan helped the NPAIHB securefunding from the Indian Health Service’s Meth& Suicide Prevention Initiative – which helpedcreate the THRIVE project (Tribal Health:Reaching Out InVolves Everyone). Since then,the THRIVE project has provided training andtechnical assistance to the Northewest tribes onways to prevent suicide.To increase community awareness about theproblem, the project developed a suicide mediacampaign in 2010, and in 2011 it expanded thecampaign to focus on suicide and youth bullying.Both campaigns were funded by the IndianHealth Service’s Meth & Suicide PreventionInitiative. The campaigns materials are availableon the NPAIHB website: http://www.npaihb.org/epicenter/project/mspi_prevention_media_resources/For more information:Colbie M.
