Five teens and young adults on the Fort Peck Reservation in Montana have committed suicide in the past month, and at least five more have attempted suicide in the past two weeks, The Great Falls Tribune reports.

The Fort Peck Tribes have set up a task force to address the rash of suicides. They have recruited health experts, police, social service workers and educators to work with an Indian Health Service psychologist with experience in dealing with suicides.
