Over the past year, I worked with partners in Alaska and Washington to develop five 2-hour workshop sessions to reduce and prevent harmful substance use, based on the PC CARES model. Developed over decades since my dissertation research, PC CARES offers tools and insights for community members to come together, learn, deepen relationships and take actions to reduce harms from substance use, suicide risk and to promote mental and social well-being. We piloted the substance use curriculum in collaboration with Yakama Nation, Alaskan partners, and students in the MSW program here at the School, and have received really positive feedback overall.
