Uplifting Culturally Sustaining Practices in Substance Use Prevention

April 24, 2024: Session 3

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?

Main Series Program Goals

1. 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.
2. Build an understanding of healing centered engagement and approaches to youth development and case management that strengthens service provision for transition-aged youth.
3. Expand our organizational and individual capacity to support young adult holistic wellness, critical consciousness development, and collective healing.

Audience

All community-based organizations, institutions, and mental health professionals, including peer support specialists, therapists, psychologists, counselors, and others who support the mental health and wellness of transition-aged youth.
