Building on his keynote presentation, Dr. Anton Treuer invites participants into a deeper conversation on Indigenous approaches to suicide prevention through the lens of longevity and relational health. This interactive workshop examines how cultural access, language revitalization, and positive identity development strengthen individual and community resilience across the lifespan.
Participants will explore the relational dimensions of wellness—how belonging, purpose, and cultural connection act as long-term protective factors against suicide and social disconnection. Dr. Treuer will share stories, research, and practical strategies drawn from Indigenous knowledge systems, emphasizing ways educators, health professionals, and community members can integrate these insights into their work.
This session offers space for dialogue, reflection, and strategy-building, guiding attendees toward culturally grounded, relationally rich approaches to fostering life, balance, and hope.
