Our mission is to serve as subject-matter experts and key authorities on resources for culturally informed prevention practices, addiction treatment, recovery, and mental health services, supporting behavioral health professionals working with Native communities. We focus on using evidence and experience-based methods, as well as traditional cultural practices, for treatment of those suffering from substance use and other behavioral health disorders. We also provide technical assistance to communities in crisis due to mental health or substance use disorders. We utilize community-based participatory research methods and partnerships with local Native behavioral health workforce members to create culturally informed experiences for providers and clients.
