Grant: Team Grant: Circumpolar, wellness, resilience and suicide prevention

Promoting mental well-being and preventing suicide is a high priority among circumpolar regions. A systematic synthesis of what has been done and what works and does not work across the Arctic will enable circumpolar regions to learn from one another.We have assembled an international team of researchers, administrators, and clinicians in partnership with regionally based community organizations and Indigenous-controlled health care agencies to summarize regional patterns, trends and determinants; create an inventory of existing programs and services; and conduct detailed case studies of innovative approaches in 5 regions, with the potential for replication, adaptation, and scaling-up by other regions.
