California Indian Manpower Consortium, Inc.
The CIMC Movement: Creating Positive Change for Native Communities
Elevate Youth California
Project Summary: The project goal is to reduce substance abuse in Native American youth ages 14 to 18 years old by offering culturally relevant preventative activities, peer led support groups, and leadership conferences that will provide them with the skills and tools to address punitive drug policies in their local areas. The support groups offer substance use preventative activities with cultural values at heart. Such activities may include cultural cooking classes, beading classes, traditional gardening/harvesting, talking circles, etc. and will focus on topics such as: generational/historical trauma, substance abuse, and reducing stigma. |
