Bill overview
This bill, the Native American Suicide Prevention Act of 2019, aims to improve suicide prevention efforts for Native Americans and Native Hawaiians. It requires states that receive federal grants to develop and implement statewide suicide prevention strategies to work in collaboration with federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, and Native Hawaiian health care systems. The goal is to ensure these strategies are culturally appropriate and responsive to the specific needs of these communities. This collaboration is a condition of receiving the grant funding.
