## Objectives

The primary purpose of this program is to reduce the prevalence of suicide among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. Tribes can accomplish these goals by:
1. Improving care coordination;
2. Expanding behavioral health care services through the use of culturally appropriate evidence-based and practice-based models to address these issues; and
3. Developing or expanding on activities for the Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) Initiative by implementing early intervention strategies for AI/AN youth at risk for suicidal behavior, in addition to any proposed activities for the adult population.
