Details:
Children and youth are less than 25% of Alaska’s population, but they are 100% of the future. Investing in their mental health today helps the communities thrive for generations. Promoting access to cultural activities helps strengthen two of the strongest protective factors associated with youth mental wellbeing: (1) a connection to one’s culture and community and (2) the presence of a caring adult outside of one’s immediate family.
Building the protective factors that strengthen youth mental health is especially important today. Alaska’s high school students report rising levels of sadness and hopelessness, and Alaska’s teen suicide rate is increasing.Project ideas include (but are not limited to) activities that:
- Engage youth in subsistence activities;
- Teach youth traditional arts and crafts;
- Promote language learning;
- Engage youth in cultural celebrations.
