Carlton County and Fond du Lac Band of Lac Superior Chippewa are implementing suicide prevention strategies, in coordination with outreach about the Crisis Text Line in Northern Minnesota, funded by the MN State Legislature through grant funding (MN Department of Human Services). Previously TXT4Life, this program has grown to include availability of the text line to anyone in Minnesota, and suicide prevention efforts have expanded to better meet community needs. Partnerships with schools and community organizations are integral in effective prevention efforts. This session will help participants to: 1) Understand Tribal, County & community partnerships that can be leveraged for suicide prevention and training; 2) Understand the Crisis Text Line – how to use it and share it with others; and 3) Learn strategies for local suicide prevention implementation. Suicide prevention can be a hard topic of focus because of past issues, stigma, lack of education and/or fear/uncomfortability with the topic. This session will overview specific strategies that Tribes and Counties are implementing related to suicide prevention, and how they are working together to take care of Minnesota communities. Information will also be shared about broader partnerships through the work including the Minnesota Department of Health’s Regional Suicide Prevention Coordinators and coordination with the Minnesota State Suicide Prevention Plan.
