Episode 18: Preventing Suicide and Promoting Culture among Alaska Natives and American Indians

In episode 18 of The 'S' Word: A Podcast about Suicide Prevention, we talk with Dr. Lisa Wexler, Professor of Social Work and a Research Professor in the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute of Social Research at the University of Michigan, about her research on preventing suicide among Alaska Natives and American Indians. Her participatory research program is based in and developed with Alaska Native communities and can offer possibilities for other groups suffering from behavioral health inequities and/or desiring to re-orient programs and services toward local, culture values and practices.
