CSKT Project AWARE’s goals are to develop capacity in local tribal youth, in three reservation LEAs, to support themselves and their peers through mental health awareness and tribal resiliency by focusing on the strength and beauty of tribal people. In addition, CSKT Project AWARE aims to increase the capacity of three Local Education Agencies in Montana to connect with tribal youth through tribal lifeways and practices as prevention to mental health issues. Project goals will be met through classroom activities in three separate districts, monthly community engagement events, monthly professional developments and summer encampments all based in tribal lifeways and practices.
CSKT Project AWARE Project will support tribal youth in becoming resilient young people who are strong in their cultural identity, and focused on their well-being.
