Suicide Prevention Committee
|
Welcome to the Indian Health Service Suicide Prevention Committee (SPC) website. The SPC mission is to develop, advocate for and coordinate a comprehensive cultural and community based approach to reduce suicidal behaviors and suicides in AI/AN communities. Suicide is not a single problem; rather it is a single response to multiple problems.
