Registration Now Open for Preconference at Wisconsin Substance Use Prevention Conference
Join us for an in-person, preconference activity at the Wisconsin Substance Use Prevention Conference on September 9 from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Restoring Balance in Prevention through Indigenous Knowledge and Cultural Grounding by Returning to the Circle: Centering Healing, presented by Dr. Sonny Smart and Dr. Chi Ayaabe (Brian) Jackson, will explore how to shift prevention from institutional approaches to community-rooted, relational pathways of healing in the cultural strengths, values, and lifeways of native communities.
Participants will engage with the concepts of historical trauma, community mindfulness, and culturally responsive healing practices. Participants will also reflect on how the process of decolonizing prevention—or restoring balance by reclaiming Indigenous knowledge systems—can support stronger community connections and build trust across generations.
Registration is required. There is a $50 fee to participate. Lunch will be provided. You can receive up to 5 CEHs if you attend the full activity.
