Gathering Grounds Community Meeting IV: Identify Emerging Challenges and Opportunities: Opioid and COVID-19 Collision
During this community meeting facilitated by Raquel Aviles (Yaqui/Hiaki, MHI), we will discuss two questions:
1. How has your own OUD/substance use work been affected by COVID-19? If affected, how have you adapted or adopted new practices?
2. What do you see as emerging challenges & opportunities for Opioid Overdose and OUD prevention, treatment & recovery programs, services, and research in Indian Country due to COVID-19?
About Our Practice
The Seven Sacred Directions
Seven Directions was born from a desire to create greater connectivity across the many tribes, communities and organizations that have the health and wellness of American Indian and Alaska Native people at the heart of what they do. We are guided by the “seven directions” of practice: Integration & Holistic Wellness, Culture & Identity, Families & Communities, Respect for Sovereignty, Service, Indigenous Knowledge, and Tribal Governance.
The Seven Sacred Directions serve as an indigenous framework for presenting the strategic directions for the public health agenda.
