To promote mental wellness and address high rates of suicide and substance use among American Indian and Alaska Native youth, this project brings the community-based Promoting Community Conversations About Research for Effective Solutions (PC CARES) model to the Bay Mills Indian Community, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, and the Gun Lake Tribe in Michigan. Through locally led Learning Circles, the program engages trusted adults in culturally grounded conversations about mental health research and community action, creating a sustainable approach to expanding care and prevention.
