Daughters of Tradition Program

Our Daughters of Tradition program hosts are from the Native American Resource Center of San Manuel Indian Health Clinic. Students will benefit from the guidance, nurturing, and support of their community’s elders, counselors, and peers. The Daughters of Tradition program provides cultural platforms for students to develop and maintain mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Culture is prevention!

• Learn from elders, peers and community members how to recognize, avoid and get help for problems you see or experience.
• Explore these three questions: Who am I? Why am I? Where am I going?
• Know what it is like to belong to a healthy group and participate in healthy thinking and activities.
• In our meetings, we usually do a lesson, a craft, or a talking circle. (Zoom virtual meetings)
• Raffle and prizes for good attendance.
