Suicide rates indicate elevated mental and emotional instability among Canadian youth. Unfortunately, increased availability of resources and online supports to both students and staff, has not alleviated its deadly impact. Northern Manitoba, in particular, continues to be plagued by the onslaught of teen suicide threats, attempts, and deaths within many of its communities, predominantly among First Nations youth. Addressing this issue requires the collaborative effort of all stakeholders, through continued research, evidence-based programming and partnerships. Health professionals and educators must delve deeper into the etiology behind youth suicide in order to fully understand and begin to address a potential impediment collectively impacting those who are suffering. Addressing one's basic human need to belong may not only provide a sustainable and economical approach to this grave issue, but also promises to result in an inclusively positive outcome overall.
