Description
Yvette Hus and Osnat Segal review suicide among Indigenous youth in Canada in this 2024 paper. Suicide rates are high among Indigenous peoples worldwide. The review focuses on young people and young adults in Canada who face deep poverty and poor services.
The authors use ideas from transcultural psychiatry and a theory of suicide to frame the problem. Remote towns, a history of exclusion, and thin health and school resources all play a part. Low literacy and weak schooling feed hopelessness and raise risk. The paper also covers joint efforts by Indigenous groups and Canadian authorities. A literacy plan is proposed as one step toward change.
