The Mescalero Apache School has established a crisis center to address recent suicides among young people on the Mescalero Apache Reservation in New Mexico.

A 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl committed suicide in separate incidents last week. Another young person committed suicide less than a month ago, The Ruidoso News reported.
