The Native & Strong campaign was developed in partnership with the 29 federally recognized tribes in Washington and the Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH). Rooted in the belief that Connection is Prevention, this suicide prevention campaign is led by the leadership, wisdom, and priorities of Washington tribes, with the support of WA DOH. Through this government-to-government collaboration, Native & Strong focuses on raising awareness, providing education, and sharing resources to support local efforts in preventing suicide and strengthening the well-being of tribal communities now and for future generations.
Social connection looks different for everyone. But the benefits are often the same. Spending time with friends and family protects your well-being and mental health. The quality, not quantity, of your relationships matters most.
For older adults, friendship and connection can be harder to find. Find Your People, created by the Washington State Department of Health, helps you find ways to connect with people of all ages.
