Community Engagement

Family Wellness Warriors awareness campaigns and events foster community education, strengthen relationships, and support solutions by and for people impacted by trauma in Alaska. Activities include internal and external collaboration, speaking engagements, community gatherings, Elders and Youth connections, and the creation of content that highlights wellness education and advocacy across communities. Through awareness campaigns, FWW sheds light on the ways Alaska Native and Native American people are creating hope and healing.
