Needs of the Community
Build Family
Treat students, parents, staff, each other like family. Not just a nonprofit, or professionals working in Indian Country, we are family.
Achieve Holistic Health
What is often left out of the Native American health story? We believe systemic, structural and institutional issues. Thus, we look at all factors that impact health including intrapsychic, interpersonal, family systems, integrational patterns and macro-level factors.
Teamwork
We prioritize unconditional acceptance, where everyone feels they can be themselves. To build a strong team we strive to create a fun, supportive, and safe environment.
Mindset
Energy follows thoughts. Optimism, positive thoughts, forward and innovative thinking is prioritized in all we do.
Accept Accountability
We have a responsibility to deliver results to the families and children we serve. We expect to improve individual lives and communities and have systems in place to measure outcomes.
Needs of the Community
Our goal is to meet the communities we serve where they are at. We will continue to evolve to meet the ever-changing challenges that face Native people in Humboldt County.
