SUMMARY:The Indian Country Adolescent Health ECHO
DESCRIPTION:The Indian Country Adolescent Health ECHO: Centering wellness\, resilience\, and culture to strengthen Indigenous adolescent health is a collaborative to learn from\, and improve the health and wellness of\, American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adolescents. It envisions a future where AI/AN adolescents thrive in systems designed for their wellness. Through monthly 1- hour teleECHO sessions\, and the development of policy related resources\, we strive to improve the capacity for healthcare workers and others who provide care to AI/AN adolescents.

Through centering and prioritizing the unique needs of this group\, we hope to support lasting impacts to realize the wellness of the seventh generation—our grandchildren’s Grandchildren. Participants will have the opportunity to earn CE credit following participation. The sessions will take place virtually on Zoom the second Wednesday of every month at 12pm PT\, starting February 11th\, 2026. \nWhat topics will be covered? \n\nSexual and reproductive health\nMental health\nSubstance use\nDisordered eating\nLong COVID and infection associated chronic illness\nSupporting identity development\nSexually transmitted infections\nFoster care\nHealthy weight management\nPolicy implications\n\nDesigned for\nClinical staff at IHS\, Tribal\, and Urban Indian health programs providing care for American Indian and Alaska Native adolescents\, and others interested in learning a new skill are invited to join. \n

SUMMARY:Permission to Grieve: A Guide to Coping with Uncomfortable Feelings in Native Contexts
DESCRIPTION:This 2‑hour virtual training centers grief\, loss\, and complex emotions in Native communities—and in the lives of helpers themselves—in the context of ongoing trauma\, overdose deaths\, and substance use. Blending Indigenous trauma science\, grief practices\, and Western neuroscience (such as the window of tolerance and nervous system responses)\, we will focus on both provider wellness and usable skills. \nParticipants will explore the difference between trauma‑informed and healing‑centered approaches\, and will leave with concrete co‑regulation tools and grief‑aware practices they can bring into their work with Native communities in Nevada\, including conversations about opioid use\, treatment\, and recovery. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate between trauma‑informed and healing‑centered approaches to grief in Native communities\, particularly in the context of overdose deaths and substance‑related losses.\nDescribe how grief and historical trauma can show up in bodies\, emotions\, behaviors\, and relationships for Indigenous clients and for providers themselves—and how this impacts engagement in opioid‑related services.\nIdentify at least two concrete practices they can use to co‑regulate with clients (and themselves) during times of grief\, crisis\, or emotional overwhelm\, including when discussing opioid use and treatment options.\nDevelop at least one realistic commitment for integrating grief‑aware\, culturally grounded practices into their work settings to support both client healing and provider sustainability in opioid‑related and behavioral health work.\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.
