STAND youth program at Academy
Native American youth
are disproportionately af-
fected by a number of health
challenges, including underage
drug and alcohol use, violence
and self-harm, early preg-
nancy and sexually transmit-
ted diseases.
Unfortunately, relatively
few culturally appropriate
health inter ventions have
been designed for, or rigor-
ously evaluated among Na-
tive American youth. As a
result, many Native teens do
not receive sufficient or ap-
propriate health education on
these topics.
To meet this need, the
Oregon Health and Science
University (OHSU), and the
The Warm Springs Native Stand program is
available to students ages 12-18 at the Warm
Springs Eagle Academy. The morning club
meets from 7:45-8:50 a.m.
The first class session starts Tuesday, Oct.
20. Applications are available at the middle
school office. Or for more information contact
the Prevention Team at 541-553-3205. Or talk
with Scott Kalama or Anita Davis.
Northwest Portland Area In-
dian Health Board have col-
laborated to disseminate a
school- and community-
based youth development pro-
gram.
The program is based on
Native Stand: Students To-
gether Against Negative De-
cisions.
Background
Today’s youth face many
challenges. Native youth also
face those same challenges, in
addition to navigating and liv-
ing in two worlds. Tribal
people and leaders are keenly
aware of some of these chal-
lenges. However, rather than
focus on the ongoing prob-
lems, there is one proactive,
proven approach: Native
Stand, a program of action
with results.
Implementation
Native Stand is a cultur-
ally relevant inter-tribal cur-
riculum for pre-teen to high
school age (12-18 years) Na-
tive teens that draws on cul-
tural teachings and values
from across Indian Country.
The curriculum is designed to
address healthy decision-mak-
ing holistically and develop
skills associated with main-
taining and promoting tribal
adolescent sexual health and
becoming a peer educator.
