Approach to programming
Aunties and Uncles Program (AUP) is an innovative, strengths-based program that centers culture as a protective factor in an intergenerational, youth-focused behavioral health intervention. To normalize behavioral health challenges and reduce stigma, we engage youth and their families in cultural activities combined with behavioral health education, community resources, and self-care practices.
These strategies include:
- Engagement of youth 14 – 24 years includes engaging family members.
- Community cultural events and workshops are intergenerational and held in
community settings (central and coastal) - Partnerships with tribal leaders and key community members is key
for effective engagement, greater impact and sustainability.
GOAL 1. Reduce mental health-related stigma in Native American tribal communities.
GOAL 2. Provide a series of youth focused (ages 14-24), family inclusive, traditional and cultural
events in schools and tribal communities.
GOAL 3. Recruit Aunties and Uncles to support community outreach, lead cultural workshops
for youth, and join our Eagle Council to advise AUP and evaluation design.
GOAL 4. Incorporate youth and young adult depression screening tool into medical visits at the
SCIHP clinic to increase behavioral health referrals and reduce overall mental health-related
stigma.
