First Nations youth suicide prevention curriculum: Prevention through culture

Understanding that fostering protective factors and reducing risk factors will ultimately reduce youth suicide attempts and self-harm, the purpose of the First Nations Youth Suicide Prevention Curriculum is to promote resilience and instill hope amongst First Nations youth. The program is experiential and includes detailed guidelines for teachers as well as all required materials for in-class activities such as group discussions, quizzes, games, and other projects that provide opportunities for each   youth participant to journal their journey of resilience and wellbeing. In addition to student activities, each session includes learning materials that relate to the session’s topic.
