The Aani: Choosing the Right Trail Program utilizes a culturally aligned, invitational approach to community healing. Based on lessons learned, we will ensure that our Elders’ wisdom guides our process, that we train our youth to be the leaders our communities need, that we will hold space for recovery as our communities heal, and that we acknowledge that speaking about mental health is necessary to healing. Over the five years of the project period Aani: Choosing the Right Trail will impact 200 community members in the two communities, Chistochina and Mentasta, that the Mt. Sanford Tribal Consortium serves. Youth, ages 13-24 are our primary focus for the program. The goals and objectives to accomplish our purpose are as follows: GOAL: Over the course of the five years of the grant project, members of the communities served by MSTC accept the Aani: Choosing the Right Trail Program as an invitation to community healing and subsequently choose to join the effort. Objective 1: By the end of the Aani: Choosing the Right Trail Program grant period, 20 community members will be trained in both evidence based practices and culturally aligned protocols for suicide prevention and treatment. Objective 2: Annually, the Aani: Choosing the Right Trail Program will support 5-10 youth (ages 13-24) in cultural, leadership, and workforce skills development. Objective 3: By 2026, the Aani: Choosing the Right Trail Program will increase the capacity for community healing in the communities that MSTC serves.
