The Good Road of Life is a trauma-informed, culture and resilience-based curriculum that utilizes peer support to overcome multiple risk factors including historical and everyday trauma. The model uses Dr. Clayton Small’s dissertation study completed at Gonzaga University that focused on wellness and healing for Native people.

Native HOPE curriculum addresses suicide prevention, violence and bullying, depression, and substance abuse. The process in the Native H.O.P.E. program intentionally creates a safe and sacred place through culture, spirituality, and humor for participants to address suicide, depression, trauma, violence, and substance abuse.

This equine-assisted curriculum was developed in partnership with the Spotted Bull Resource Recovery Center (SBRRC) located on the Fort Peck Reservation in South Eastern Montana (Sioux and Assiniboine Tribes).

This 2 to 3 day training is designed to assist tribal leaders and organizations to review and update their long and short term strategic plans.
