We are providing and increasing access to culturally appropriate, integrated primary health care services to AI/AN individuals in order to improve overall wellness and health status and enhance the coordination and continuity of their care. We continue to hone and develop infrastructural activities to represent and guide this process.

This group: • Is lead by a respected and well-known elder • Provides instruction in culturally specific art techniques • Allows American Indian / Alaska Native participants an opportunity to connect with and explore Native heritage • Provides opportunity to engage in mindfulness in a community of safety to facilitate neurobiological integration, relationship building, and positive mental health

  6. Accomplishments • Provision of ongoing wellness activities • Opening and operation of two new integrated wellness sites • Communication and awareness raising of integration across our agency, which is quite diverse and decentralized • Support and enthusiasm about integration by both administration and clinicians • Creation of tools, assessments and measurements to respond to the needs of primary and behavioral healthcare integration

  7. Culture Group NARA’s culture group allows clients to explore and express Native identity in a safe, supportive environment.
