On May 1 and 2, 2000 the first Native American Prevention Program Sharing Conference was held in Bloomington, Minnesota. It was an opportunity for individuals and agencies from throughout the Central CAPT states and the Red Lake Nation to share what they were doing in the areas of prevention.
This Seventh Annual Native American Prevention Program Sharing Conference: Joining Voices will help participants develop a better understanding of prevention programs and principles that are effective. This conference has been designed to provide both youth and adult participants an opportunity to:
- Learn about specific prevention programs and strategies that are being implemented with Native American youth audiences.
- Learn about evidence-based programs, principles, and practices.
- Talk with others who are interested in making prevention programs work efficiently and effectively.
- Strengthen a good path of life for youth.
- Strengthen connections among prevention programs throughout the Native American Nations.
- Prepare youth to become good elders.
- Learn about wellbriety programs and strategies for Native American youth.
The conference has been scheduled for July to accommodate youth and adult participation. The conference will be held at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, MN. The location was chosen for its proximity to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America.
The planning committee would like to give a special thank you to the Minnesota Department of Human Services Chemical Health Division, American Indian Section for their generous support of this conference.
