Welcome to the Reach UR Life program page.

Thank you for taking interest in this wonderful program.

Background

NACA’s Reach UR Life suicide prevention program is multi-faceted addressing protective factors to prevent risky early on, and identifying, referring, and following up with individuals who are exhibiting risk for suicide. NACA currently utilizes several evidence based practices to promote suicide awareness and conduct early identification screenings. NACA’s RUL program is built upon previous Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMSHA) efforts to reduce the rates of suicide and suicide attempts in Northern Arizona communities.

Goals & Objectives

The goals within the Reach UR Life program work in conjunction with one another to promote protective factors and reduce the risk for youth suicide. The primary intent of this project is to identify, refer, follow up, and serve American Indian youth ages 10-24 years old. Based on existing support, partnerships, and feasibility, this program will focus on American Indian populations primarily within Coconino County, which includes Navajo Nation communities and the Hopi tribe, located in Navajo County.
