The tour was part of the Navajo Nation\u2019s Building Communities of Hope Initiative, aimed at raising awareness and preventing suicide. The tour visited every high school across the three-state nation, despite a cultural taboo about discussing suicide. Tribal leaders also declared a week in December and a week in June as Navajo Nation Suicide Prevention Week. Their efforts have included training for all Navajo Nation employees, trauma-informed care and an outreach campaign. In May, the Indian Health Service launched a suicide prevention campaign, \u201cLove Your Life,\u201d in partnership with the Window Rock, Arizona-headquartered Navajo Nation to connect young people to behavioral health care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#ceca-top-fa\"><strong>BACK TO TOP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n <!-- conversly to above, we need to not show the CTA here if it's the Head Section style -->\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"qff_disclaimer align wp-block-disclaimer content-section\">\n <div class=\"container mx-auto px-0 md:px-5\">\n <div class=\"qff_disclaimer__wrapper text-salt-box text-xs font-sofiapro border-t-2 border-spring-wood\">\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"leadership-04\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"content-section light fresh-text single wp-block-fresh-text backgrounds-and-margins-aware-block margin-bottom\">\n <div class=\"container mx-auto px-5\">\n\n \n \n <!-- The CTA is moved up next to the title when in the Head Section style -->\n \n  <div class=\"callout\"><div id=\"67f80d0bfd0cc\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"67f80e5efd0d8\">\n<div id=\"67f80d0bfd0cf\" class=\"component page-object ceros-text-editor text-plus is-rendering-placeholders text-plus-loading-finished-67f80d0bfd0cf\" data-container-id=\"67f80d0bfd0cc\">\n<div class=\"ceros-text-editor\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Oglala-Sioux-Tribe-262x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"300\" data-headline=\"2017-Oglala-Sioux-Tribe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Oglala-Sioux-Tribe-262x300.png 262w, https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Oglala-Sioux-Tribe-10x12.png 10w, https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Oglala-Sioux-Tribe.png 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Oglala Sioux Tribe<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792a6\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ed7909d\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792cf\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ee792a6\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792d3\" class=\"component page-object ceros-text-editor text-plus is-rendering-placeholders text-plus-loading-finished-6806a1ee792d3\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ee792cf,6806a1ee792cf\">\n<div class=\"ceros-text-editor\">\n<p>The Oglala Sioux Tribe has taken on the important work of preventing youth suicides, declaring a state of emergency to focus on this vital issue. Nationally, suicide is the second leading cause of death for Native American youth ages 15 to 24 years old. After the Pine Ridge, South Dakota, tribe experienced a cluster of youth suicides in 2014 and 2015, more Indian Health Service mental health counselors were made available to young members of the tribe. Tribal leadership testified in 2016 before a House subcommittee about the ongoing need for more funding for mental health services that are culturally appropriate, as well as investment to spark job creation and economic development to provide young people with hope and opportunities. Suicide prevention has been an ongoing effort of the tribe, with programs for youth and college students provided through grants from the federally funded Suicide Prevention Resource Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#ceca-top-fa\"><strong>BACK TO TOP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n <!-- conversly to above, we need to not show the CTA here if it's the Head Section style -->\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"qff_disclaimer align wp-block-disclaimer content-section\">\n <div class=\"container mx-auto px-0 md:px-5\">\n <div class=\"qff_disclaimer__wrapper text-salt-box text-xs font-sofiapro border-t-2 border-spring-wood\">\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"leadership-05\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"content-section light fresh-text single wp-block-fresh-text backgrounds-and-margins-aware-block margin-bottom\">\n <div class=\"container mx-auto px-5\">\n\n \n \n <!-- The CTA is moved up next to the title when in the Head Section style -->\n \n  <div class=\"callout\"><div id=\"67f80d0bfd0cc\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"67f80e5efd0d8\">\n<div id=\"67f80d0bfd0cf\" class=\"component page-object ceros-text-editor text-plus is-rendering-placeholders text-plus-loading-finished-67f80d0bfd0cf\" data-container-id=\"67f80d0bfd0cc\">\n<div class=\"ceros-text-editor\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792d6\" class=\"component page-object ceros-text-editor text-plus is-rendering-placeholders text-plus-loading-finished-6806a1ee792d6\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ee792d4,6806a1ee792d4\">\n<div class=\"ceros-text-editor\">\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Judge-Colleen-McNally-262x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"300\" data-headline=\"2017-Judge-Colleen-McNally\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Judge-Colleen-McNally-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Judge-Colleen-McNally-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.casey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2017-Judge-Colleen-McNally.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Judge Colleen McNally<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792a6\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ed7909d\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792cf\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ee792a6\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792d3\" class=\"component page-object ceros-text-editor text-plus is-rendering-placeholders text-plus-loading-finished-6806a1ee792d3\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ee792cf,6806a1ee792cf\">\n<div class=\"ceros-text-editor\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792a6\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ed7909d\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792d4\" class=\"component page-object group\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ee792a6\">\n<div id=\"6806a1ee792d8\" class=\"component page-object ceros-text-editor text-plus is-rendering-placeholders text-plus-loading-finished-6806a1ee792d8\" data-container-id=\"6806a1ee792d4,6806a1ee792d4\">\n<div class=\"ceros-text-editor\">\n<p>The Hon. Colleen McNally has served as a Maricopa County Superior Court judge since 2001, presiding over family, dependency, guardianship, adoption and juvenile drug court cases. As Judge McNally began her tenure as presiding judge of Maricopa County Juvenile Court in 2013, the county and the state were experiencing an explosion of their dependency caseloads. Under Judge McNally, Maricopa County initiated a Safe Reduction Workgroup in partnership with the Department of Child Safety to engage multiple systems from three branches of government, private and public entities and community organizations. The county juvenile court designed 10 initiatives aimed at safely expediting permanency. And under her leadership, the Cradles to Crayons court-based initiative aimed at expediting permanency for infants, young children and families has thrived and expanded.
