The Discovering Our Story Project is a culturally-tailored multi-media health and wellness curricula based upon the foundation of Traditional Native American Stories; it is now available at www.discoveringourstory.org. This accredited training is designed to prepare therapists, counselors and educators to use the curriculum in the therapeutic and classroom settings.

The Discovering Our Story Project has been developed to resolve five outcomes. One increases the skills of therapists serving Native American clients and four relate directly to mental health, addictions, domestic violence, and diabetes issues that recent research has revealed as co-occurring within our local Native community.

This project has been developed so Native Americans can improve and maintain their mental health, overcome cycles of addiction and domestic violence, and successfully manage Type 2 Diabetes. Funded through United Way, project partners include Native American Rehabilitation Association (NARA Northwest), the Cowlitz Tribe, the Indigenous Ways of Knowing Program at Lewis & Clark, National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA), Northwest Indian Storytellers Association (NISA), Westview High
School’s ESL Program, and Roger Burt, Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant.
