| As dispossessed peoples by virtue of American conquest, unfulfilled promises have left major gaps in the lives of many of America’s first nation’s people. American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians experience excessive levels of disease, higher poverty rates, hold the lowest levels of educational attainment, and generally have not achieved the opportunities promised for America. This unique session aims to address the holistic approach to health. It looks at a variety of challenges facing American Indian, Alaska Native and/or Native Hawaiian communities; including coping with grief, substance abuse, and obesity. In this session, presenters will discuss the importance of incorporating cultural values into designing interventions to successfully assist Native people with healing. The valuable lessons experienced by these presenters will be shared and participants will gain skills to assist with healing the mind, body and spirit. In addition to holistic healing participants will also learn about important disease trends in Native populations. These trends are essential in designing successful intervention strategies. | |||
