Not signed up for the Native Youth Listserv? Sign up here to get weekly updates sent directly to your email about an opportunity for Native youth. Here’s what you missed:  This week’s email shares information about the Fostering Resilience in Native Youth training made available at the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Annual Convention in Sacramento, CA. Tribal and community leaders who are interested in supporting positive youth development are invited to this NCAI pre-meeting, which will focus on how to provide Native youth with healthy coping strategies. Dr. Ginsburg, a pediatrician specializing in adolescent medicine, will present strategies that help young people develop healthy ways of coping, as opposed to destructive quick fixes (drugs, suicide, etc.). Most importantly, participants will consider how to leverage Native cultures and adapt existing youth resiliency models in a culturally appropriate way. Please see details for the session listed below: Fostering Resilience in Native Youth Sunday, October 21, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Room 204 Sacramento Convention Center  1400 J Street Sacramento, CA 95814 RSVP Now and Receive a Free Book! The first 30 people to RSVP will receive a free book. Please RSVP to Tara Kitcheyan at tkitcheyan@ncai.org. Because this training is a pre-meeting, conference registration is not required to attend. For More Information Please contact Terra Branson at tbranson@ncai.org if you have any questions about this training. For more information on Dr. Ginsburg’s work, please visit www.fosteringresilience.com. As with every weekly email, we encourage you to visit our website (www.cnay.org) for a comprehensive list of available resources (scholarships, fellowships, summer programs, grant opportunities, etc.).
