This 90-minute collaborative session is for members of Native communities in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington State. The session is hosted by the Northwest MHTTC and the National American Indian and Alaska Native MHTTC.

DESCRIPTION

This past summer, the Northwest MHTTC partnered with the National American Indian and Alaska Native MHTTC and several Native consultants to host four listening sessions with Native community members for each of the states in Region 10. Through these listening sessions, we hoped to: 

• Establish and/or deepen connections with Native communities, governments, agencies and leaders in our Region. 
• Understand Native-identified topics and priorities for mental health workforce training and technical assistance (TA). 
• Generate collaborations in Aug ‘22-Sept ‘23, honoring the strengths & priorities determined by Native communities.

We are so grateful to those of you who participated in these listening sessions and truly value the wisdom and insight you offered.  

On November 21, we will hold a collaborative session with Native community members across Region 10 to discuss your ideas, identify your priorities and outline next steps in our collective work together.

We welcome your participation whether or not you attended our previous listening sessions.

We hope to connect with any interested Native community members in Region 10 at this collaborative session. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who may be interested in participating. If you cannot attend nor send a representative, we’d still much appreciate hearing from you and finding ways to collaborate. Please email [email protected] and someone from our team will get back to you. Thank you!
