About the Course

This course explores how Indigenous worldviews, community wisdom, and relational approaches offer powerful frameworks for contemporary substance use disorder (SUD) prevention. Drawing on culturally grounded models and timeless teachings, the course examines how Indigenous communities lead the way in designing prevention strategies rooted in connectedness, storytelling, spirituality, and place. Topics include community-led initiatives, integrating traditional knowledge with modern public health practices, the role of cultural identity in healing, and how digital tools can support—not replace—relational care.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Weaving Wisdom With Innovation-Timeless Indigenous Strategies for Contemporary Substance Use Disorder Prevention created by Angela Da Re CCPS, ICPS et al in 2024.
