"Barbara Mora's (Paiute/Diné) mother, who passed away from diabetes complications, struggled to confront the reality of the disease. "My mother would not deal with diabetes; it was a big scary topic," Mora says. "She only saw the horrible things: amputations, dialysis and death." When Mora was diagnosed with diabetes 14 years ago, she chose to deal with the disease differently. As the fourth generation on her mother's side to suffer from diabetes, many of Mora's family members did not want her to talk about it. "I thought no, I'm not going to go quietly," Mora says. "I'm going to find out everything I need to know about diabetes." After her mother's death, and her father's subsequent passing, Mora felt herself slipping into depression. Rather than falling victim to diabetes and depression, Mora relied on the Diné tradition of praying each morning to restore her spirit. Then she channeled her emotional and spiritual journey with diabetes from denial to depression to staying active and healthy with the disease in the book Using Our Wit and Wisdom to Live Well with Diabetes." from ://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2011/05/14/native-life-provides-online-health-support-network-34013.

Choosing the right college is a big decision for most people. American Indian and Alaska Natives are no exception, but finding a college that offers a good educational program in their major plus a strong support system for tribal traditions makes that decision even more complex. This volume will help Native people clarify their postsecondary aspirations, improve their college choice, and increase their success in college. After a thorough examination of the issues that should be considered, Pavel and Inglebret present the different types of colleges available, programs and services to meet the special needs of Native students, and financial aid options. By answering many of the basic questions students have about going to college, Pavel and Inglebret help to demystify the process and encourage more Native students to pursue a college education. Special features include: -A list of colleges with Native American studies, and those most friendly to Native Americans' needs -A list of sources for financial aid, with contact information -Interviews with Native American students on all aspects of their college experiences -Suggestions for students on how to balance their new college experiences with their community and heritage

Suicide prevention initiatives are part of much broader systems connected to activities such as the diagnosis of mental illness, the recognition of clinical risk, improving access to care, and coordinating with a broad range of outside agencies and entities around both prevention and public health efforts. Yet suicide is also an intensely personal issue that continues to be surrounded by stigma. On September 11-12, 2018, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in Washington, DC, to discuss preventing suicide among people with serious mental illness. The workshop was designed to illustrate and discuss what is known, what is currently being done, and what needs to be done to identify and reduce suicide risk. Improving Care to Prevent Suicide Among People with Serious Mental Illness summarizes presentations and discussions of the workshop.

The reported population of American Indians and Alaska Natives has grown rapidly over the past 20 years. These changes raise questions for the Indian Health Service and other agencies responsible for serving the American Indian population. How big is the population? What are its health care and insurance needs? This volume presents an up-to-date summary of what is known about the demography of American Indian and Alaska Native populationâ€"their age and geographic distributions, household structure, employment, and disability and disease patterns. This information is critical for health care planners who must determine the eligible population for Indian health services and the costs of providing them. The volume will also be of interest to researchers and policymakers concerned about the future characteristics and needs of the American Indian population.
