Introduction
My research focuses on three overlapping and complimentary areas that address both scientific and community priorities. My work incorporates unique approaches that engage participants and enhance cultural and community strengths. Drawing from intergenerational narratives and indigenous wisdom, I aim to illuminate the problem of youth suicide in ways that offer individuals, families and tribal communities possibilities for action. Most recently, this work emphasizes resilience, and utilizes digital technology to engage participants and to disseminate results.
