NCJTC staff will provide training on suicide prevention and reduction of risk factors: alcohol and substance abuse, lethal means restriction and mental health/distress.

Native American youth are impacted by unique and challenging threats that affect their physical and emotional development and well-being. Often tribal communities do not have the same access to the necessary resources for addressing these threats. The Crimes Against Children in Indian Country (CACIC) Conference was formed in response to the often unmet needs of Native youth. The advisory/planning committee is made up of representatives from a wide range of tribal and non-tribal law enforcement, government, and social service agencies.
