Purpose: Alaska Native (AN) youth living in remote Alaska suffer disproportionately from suicide when compared to all other American youth. Promoting Community Conversations About Research to End Suicide (PC CARES) is an intervention led by trained community facilitators, which shares scientific best practices to prevent youth suicide with community adults to spark feasible, culturally tailored personal and collective action. After training 34 AN facilitators to implement PC CARES in their home communities in late 2019, COVID-19 precluded in-person PC CARES activities, but the need to help adults support youth mental health during this period of quarantine and social distancing remained.

Method: The resulting adapted "PC CARES at Home" intervention delivered mail-based mental wellness and suicide prevention information and resources to adult community members from June 2020 to July 2022. The project sent 1527 care packages to 492 participants.

Finding: According to short surveys (n = 199) and interviews done with randomly selected recipients (n = 24), adults who received the PC CARES care packages were very satisfied with the contents and found them useful.

Conclusion: Both acceptance and utility of mental health and safety promotion care packages has implications for offering information and resources to adults in remote communities to support them in promoting youth mental wellness.

目的： 阿拉斯加原住民（AN）青少年在偏远地区的自杀率与其他所有美国青少年相比不成比例地高。由经过培训的社区促进者领导的“促进社区对话以终结自杀”（PC CARES）干预措施，与社区成年人分享科学最佳实践，以预防青年自杀，并激发可行、符合文化的做法来促进个人和集体行动。

方法： 由此产生的适应性“PC CARES at Home”干预措施从2020年6月到2022年7月通过邮寄方式向社区成年人分发心理健康和自杀预防的信息和资源。该项目共寄出了1527个关怀包裹，惠及492名参与者。

发现： 根据对199份简短调查问卷以及与随机选择的24位接收者进行访谈的结果显示，收到PC CARES关怀包裹的成年人对其内容非常满意，并认为这些信息和资源很有用。

结论： 心理健康和安全推广关怀包裹的认可度和实用性对于向偏远社区中的成人提供信息和支持青年心理健康的措施具有重要意义。
