"In Canada, research showed that among groups where more than half could maintain a conversation in their native language, youth suicide rates were low to absent, whereas they were six times higher in groups where that wasn’t the case. A language alone does not save a community from poor mental health, of course, but it may be an indicator of the cultural resilience that does."
