Red Hawk Suicide Prevention Program
The Red Hawk Project, a component of the Robert Sundance Family Wellness Center, is a Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Project targeting American Indian and Alaska Native children, youth, and young adults (ages 10-24) in Los Angeles County. The mission of the Red Hawk Project is to support youth in the development of overall wellness that recognizes the resiliency and strength of the American Indian community. The goal of the project is to strengthen and develop culturally and linguistically appropriate youth suicide prevention and early intervention services for the American Indian community and be informed directly by consumers, parents, youth and providers within the Los Angeles American Indian community.


If you would like more information on the Red Hawk Project, or would like to participate in one of their community forums, please contact Dr. Cindy Jong at (213) 202-3970 ext. 7135.
Objective 1: The Red Hawk Project will evaluate the existing service delivery system available to American Indian children and families in Los Angeles County, to describe services, identify access barriers, and assess the cultural appropriateness of services.

Objective 2: The program will collaborate with other agencies, providers and organizations to share information and resources by promoting awareness that suicide is preventable.
