Girls need more post-attempt care, while boys face heightened risk with access to firearms. Alaska Native youth are hit hardest, with rates double the state average, demanding culturally rooted prevention. A key mental health bill for schools was vetoed by the governor, citing burdens on already-overwhelmed districts. Yet hope persists: the 988 Lifeline answered nearly 44,000 Alaskan calls in 2025 — proof that help is available, even as the fight intensifies.
