Empowering Mental Health for Native Communities: Adults, Elders, and Youth
At Native Empowerment, we believe that mental health is a vital part of overall well-being, and recovery encompasses all aspects of life—mind, body, spirit, and community. SAMHSA’s definition of recovery emphasizes that mental health is a lifelong journey, and we are committed to supporting every stage of that journey for Native American adults, elders, and youth.
Mental health challenges can affect anyone, and Native communities are no exception. The impact of historical trauma, generational struggles, and isolation can make it harder for individuals to access support. That’s why we are dedicated to providing resources and services that foster healing, resilience, and empowerment.
We believe that true mental health recovery is about creating balance—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. We are here to walk alongside you, empowering you to reclaim your health, your strength, and your future.
Our mental health services include:
-
Trauma-informed peer guides for all ages, addressing the unique needs of Native American adults, elders, and youth.
-
Youth-focused recovery programs that incorporate cultural teachings and healing practices.
-
Support for Native American military service members who face the intersection of military trauma and historical cultural struggles, offering peer guides and counseling that respect their service and unique challenges.
-
