SUMMARY:Healing through Culture: Restoring Balance and Wellness in Native Communities
DESCRIPTION:This 2‑hour virtual training explores culture as a primary medicine in Native communities and as a key foundation for effective opioid‑related prevention\, treatment\, and recovery support. Using the Medicine Wheel as a practical framework\, we’ll braid Indigenous ways of knowing with current neuroscience\, ACEs/NEAR science\, and what we now understand about nervous systems and brain health. \nWe’ll look at how historical and ongoing trauma have impacted wellness\, help‑seeking\, and engagement in SUD/OUD services—and how cultural strengths such as kinship\, ceremony\, story\, and connection to land can guide more effective\, less stigmatizing care with Native communities across Nevada. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe at least three ways historical and intergenerational trauma have impacted wellness\, help‑seeking\, and engagement in behavioral health and SUD/OUD services in Native communities in Nevada.\nIdentify at least three cultural strengths (e.g.\, kinship\, language\, ceremony\, land connection) that support nervous system regulation\, brain health\, and readiness to engage in care\, including opioid‑related services.\nExplain how a Medicine Wheel framework can be used to organize care around emotional\, physical\, mental\, and spiritual dimensions—while respecting tribal specificity and sovereignty.\nName at least two practical strategies for: Building therapeutic alliance with Native/tribal clients\, and Reducing stigma and barriers to accessing opioid‑related and behavioral health services.\n\nIntended Audience: Behavioral health providers\, healthcare providers\, peer support specialists\, community health workers\, and others working with tribal communities in Nevada\, with particular relevance for rural and tribal partners. \nPresentation Format: This session will take place in a Zoom meeting format. Participants will have access to camera and audio\, though neither is required.
