Community Healing | Youth in Action

Description

In the United States, Native Americans experience higher suicide rates than any other racial or ethnic group. Mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness are integral to combating this issue, and Native youth are at the forefront with solutions. Today, Native youth are creating their own community-based programs, resources and advocacy for mental health and overall wellness. Join this conversation moderated by Karis Poafpybitty (Cherokee/Kiowa) with youth panelists Jazmine Wildcat (Northern Arapaho), Marco Ovando (Shoshone-Paiute) and Shavaughna Underwood (Quinault) to learn how Native teens are addressing this issue. Youth in Action: Conversations about Our Future is an online series hosted by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian. These moderated panel discussions serve as a national platform to amplify the efforts of Native changemakers from across the Western Hemisphere who are engaged in civic and social justice work for Indigenous peoples.
