The Mountain Plains MHTTC, in collaboration with the University of North Dakota College of Nursing and Professional Disciplines, hosted a training session on the new toolkit Strengthening Reslience: Promoting Positive School Mental Health Among Indigenous Youth. Lavonne Fox, PhD, OTR/L, and Thomasine Heitkamp, LCSW, provided an overview of the toolkit and discussed strategies for supporting access and implementation of this product in school settings. This toolkit provides effective strategies for K-12 educators, administrators, and mental health treatment providers to use when working to increase cultural awareness of tribal history, language, and culture within the full continuum of education and behavioral health response.
