Overview

Originally developed in the US, with moderately positive results, the Listening to One Another program for youth (aged 10-14 yrs.) and their families has been culturally adapted by First Nation partners. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has funded the research project since 2011.

This family-centred drug and alcohol abuse program includes 15 weekly experiential learning sessions with unique themes for adolescents and their families to promote family well-being and Indigenous values. Findings from the U.S. adaptation suggest a high retention rate for participating families relative to other programs that have been culturally adapted, high levels of family attendance, and significant impact in youth behaviour. It is currently being adapted for various communities and the impact is being monitored.
