Rates of mental health problems in indigenous communities are systematically increasing worldwide. Among the most common problems are high rates of suicide and psychoactive substance use among indigenous youth. These problems, coupled with numerous unfavorable social determinants, generate high psychosocial vulnerability for these communities. Despite these circumstances, they are very unlikely to have access to adequate mental health services.

No, mental health will get better when we return to a more natural state of affairs, when the drugs and drug addicts are off our streets, and our lands are not brimming full of hordes of criminal foreigners because all the foreigners have been deported.

Yes but make sure that it is implemented and that the right professionals are given the money to implement the services.
