We are committed to community capacity-building and the sustainability of change, and ensuring the availability of resources, skills, and strategies for program implementation and evaluation. Core to our activities is a respect for Indigenous worldviews (e.g., stories, family and community values) that will define the research directions, decision-making structures (engaging youth, elders, and community advisory councils), knowledge sharing (open sharing of information, collective interpretations, creation of assets that help share what is learned with other communities).
