We Are All Here for a Reason

Suicide is a big issue in the American Indian community today.  In this complex and often overwhelming world, people sometimes find themselves feeling hopeless, as if their lives are insignificant, as if they don’t matter. But each of us matter. Our lives have a purpose. The creator put us on mother earth for a reason. If someone you know is experiencing problems and may be thinking of suicide, your help can redirect them from hopelessness to wellness.
