Uplifting Culturally Sustaining Practices in Substance Use Prevention
April 24 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm MDT
This session’s essential question is: How might we challenge the deficit model permeating prevention and recovery to make space for culturally sustaining perspectives and practices in the field?
- Counter the impacts of vicarious trauma and burn out by creating a safe and responsive learning community for the YYA workforce to be heard and seen in their efforts to support the holistic needs of their clientele.
- Build an understanding of healing centered engagement and approaches to youth development and case management that strengthens service provision for transition-aged youth.
- Expand our organizational and individual capacity to support young adult holistic wellness, critical consciousness development, and collective healing.
This is Session 3 of 4 in the “Rooting Young Adult Mental Health Services in Culturally Sustaining Values & Practices” Series.
