Native Spirit: Significant Aim 3: Intervention

Native Spirit is a culturally-grounded after-school program that is community-specific. The program is 10-sessions/weeks long and each session is 1.5-2 hours in duration. Each session is guided by a local cultural knowledge holder and is focused on a different cultural value and accompanying cultural practice. Native Spirit aims to promote self-esteem, cultural efficacy, awareness of cultural connectedness, and resilience while preventing and/or slow down the initiation of substance use.
