Ko’l Ho Koom’ Mo

Youth Suicide Prevention, Intervention, Postvention

The Ko’l Ho Koom’ Mo (Working Together) Project has built a highly successful model building on the special cultural and associated identity needs of our youth; incorporating traditional tribal strengths with modern treatment modalities; combining the efforts of families, communities, and other youth serving organizations in addressing suicide. Now we propose to expand on this success by increasing the capacity of Tribal and non-Tribal sectors and in cross-sector alignment to embed suicide prevention and intervention as core components of any accessed service for youth.
