Tribal Partnerships
Grounded in Indigenous values, we honor culture as prevention by weaving social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practices into our support for youth. Together, we’re building a future where every child feels valued and empowered
Tribal Partnerships
Evidence-Based Prevention
Hope, healing, and cultural connection are at the heart of our work. Through a powerful partnership with Cherokee Central Schools and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, we are weaving traditional values with modern support systems to uplift and protect our youth. By integrating evidence-based, social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practices, this initiative strengthens mental health resources, fosters resilience, and ensures every young person knows they are valued, supported, and never alone.
