Native American Culturally-Based Prevention Programs

Native American Culturally-Based Prevention Programs are initiatives designed to promote health and well-being within Indigenous communities by integrating their cultural values, traditions, and practices. These programs aim to prevent issues like substance abuse and mental health challenges by respecting and reinforcing cultural identity, involving community elders, ceremonies, and language. By aligning prevention efforts with cultural norms, these programs foster trust, resilience, and empowerment, making them more effective and meaningful for Native communities.
