This eagerly anticipated event is the first of two seasonal celebrations for Elder Program participants and their families, both held at the Southcentral Foundation Nuka Learning and Wellness Center.
At Southcentral Foundation, we know addressing the issue of youth vaping often requires a multifaceted approach including prevention, education, and providing resources for those already using nicotine products.
Southcentral Foundation’s Vision is a Native Community that enjoys physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Preparing, learning about, and enjoying traditional foods contribute to whole-person wellness.
Domestic violence often affects physical, emotional, and financial aspects of life. While immediate intervention is crucial in most cases, long-term, culturally sensitive healing is equally important.
Every day is a great day to be Indigenous. The second Monday in October provides an opportunity to pause and celebrate traditions, culture, family, community, and so much more in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day.
Southcentral Foundation Rural Behavioral Health focuses on enhancing mental wellness by delivering essential behavioral health services and education directly within the communities SCF serves.
Health insurance coverage plays a crucial role in Tribal health organizations. While the Indian Health Service provides some base funding, Tribal health care providers like Southcentral Foundation rely on insurance to help cover the costs of the array of care they provide.
October brings about many things: the end to the fall colors, children anticipating Halloween costumes, and the first snowfall typically to blanket the ground. It is also the unofficial start of the flu season.
November marks National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the cultural traditions, history, and contributions of Alaska Native and American Indian people.
Caregivers often find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities — providing emotional and physical care, managing a household, medications, and helping to make health care decisions. While it is important to recognize all that caregivers do for others, it also critical to understand that caregivers need care too.
