Dr. Lisa Wexler and the PC CARES team has received a prestigious R01 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to support her project "Efficacy-Implementation Study for PC CARES in Rural Alaska." This research, part of the NIH Intervention Research to Improve Native American Health initiative, aims to reduce suicide risk and promote mental wellness in Alaska Native communities by training local leaders to share suicide prevention best practices.
