Culture in Prevention: Prevention 101 in Native American Communities

Wednesday, June 9, 2021

1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Tribes have always had practices focusing on the future, such as ceremonies for a good acorn harvest or healing the earth. Each tribe was a caretaker of the present with intentional teachings that looked toward the health and wellbeing of the generations to come, consistent with that of prevention efforts. This training will share how information, programs, and strategies used in Native American communities, and cultural teaching for best practices, are used to prevent substance use.

By the end of this training participants will be able to:

  • Recognize prevention strategies for community, family, youth, and elders.
  • Plan prevention strategies based on identified community needs that reflect Native American culture and local capacity.
