In this session, we will delve into the significance of incorporating culture as a primary means of prevention, especially within minoritized communities. Harnessing the wisdom passed down through our indigenous teachings, Snxestwilxtn staff will explore how cultural practices play a pivotal role in establishing and nurturing healthy relationships. Through a hands-on mindfulness activity rooted in our traditions, we will engage in meaningful dialogue about our shared responsibility in amplifying BIPOC voices and anchoring culture in prevention efforts. Discover why culture is not just an add-on, but a cornerstone of building and sustaining thriving communities.
