Integrating traditional medicine practices into the care of Indigenous students can address cultural disconnection, which is linked to suicide risk among Indigenous youth. This approach acknowledges the importance of Indigenous knowledge and practices in promoting health and well-being. However, incorporating student performances in health promotion events, ensuring government participation with respect to funding initiatives, and recognizing staff contributions in health initiatives are also important actions that can support health education and promotion among Indigenous youth, but they may not directly address the unique cultural and historical factors contributing to suicide risk among this population.
