- how to identify your own roles in supporting Native people who may be at risk for self-harm
- the importance of attention to the language and taboos around talking about loss to suicide for some Tribes
- how to develop memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with other community providers to create seamless safety nets for those at risk of suicide

- how to choose tools that will help you in identifying risk, for clinical and nonclinical care providers and professionals.
