SUICIDE PREVENTION TOOLKIT
Resources for tribes and partners.
Resources for tribes and partners are made to order, at no charge.
The Native and Strong toolkit includes videos, social media posts, posters and digital graphics, at no cost to tribes or other organizations. Please download the materials below — or contact our team to place a custom order. We can:
- Adapt materials (with your logo, for example) to meet your organization’s needs.
- Produce the materials you want in your desired quantities.
- Ship the materials to your address.
These materials are provided at no charge to behavioral health care providers, schools, youth programs, tribes and others to help prevent suicide among Native people in Washington. We also can provide funding and logistical support for buying ad space to deliver Native and Strong PSAs to the community you serve.
These posters were customized with logos at the request of the Muckleshoot Indian and Elwha Klallam tribes. If you have ideas or questions about how Native and Strong materials can be adapted for you, contact Cortney Yarholar at cortney.yarholar@kauffmaninc.com.

RESILIENCE 01
What makes us strong? Our family, our community, our tribe. Our connection is our strength. If you or someone else is struggling with mental health or thinking about suicide, get support. Learn more at NativeAndStrong.org.

As Native people, we use our strength to support each other. If you or someone else is struggling with mental health or thinking about suicide, call or text for help. That’s a sign of the strength we share. To learn more, go to NativeAndStrong.org.
SIGNS OF SUICIDE 01
If someone you know might be thinking about suicide, talking with them about it can make a big difference. It might be hard to start the conversation, but you could start by saying, "I'm worried about you." To learn about warning signs of suicide and how to help someone who’s struggling, visit NativeAndStrong.org.
SIGNS OF SUICIDE 02
When we know the signs of suicide, we can help our family and friends get the support they need. If someone is talking, joking or researching about dying; feeling hopeless, depressed or anxious; or isolating themselves, talk with them about it. Learn more at NativeAndStrong.org.
SIGNS OF SUICIDE 03
Someone who’s thinking about suicide might seem hopeless or moody. Maybe they’re avoiding doing things they enjoy, or avoiding people. Maybe they’re sleeping a lot, or very little. They might talk about hurting themselves or dying. When we can recognize the signs, we can help. Learn more at NativeAndStrong.org.
HOW TO HELP 01
If a loved one seems hopeless or depressed, talk with them. Listen with compassion and without judgment. And connect them with support. To learn more about signs to watch for and what to do to help prevent suicide, visit NativeAndStrong.org.
HOW TO HELP 02

GOOD RELATIVES 01
We all struggle sometimes. Knowing somebody cares can help a loved one feel less alone. As good relatives, we can listen with compassion and without judgment. And we can help our friend get the support they need. Visit NativeAndStrong.org to learn what to watch for and what to do to help prevent suicide.
GOOD RELATIVES 02
When good relatives help one person feel healthy and strong, we help keep our people whole. That includes talking about mental health and suicide. It also includes getting support for ourselves and others when we need it. To learn about warning signs to watch for and what to do to help prevent suicide, visit NativeAndStrong.org.
