Free Mental Health Programs for Native Youth in Grades 4-12
The Native American Fatherhood and Families Association (NAFFA), in partnership with Kid in the Corner, is offering a free, culturally adapted mental health program for Native youth in grades 4–12. This three-session program helps reduce stigma, promote kindness, and connect students to support resources. Adapted to reflect Native values and traditions, the Kid in the Corner program encourages open conversations and peer connection.
This is a meaningful opportunity to support student well-being and strengthen community connection. Contact us at 480-833-5007, email Melody Billy at [email protected] or visit www.kidinthecorner.org to learn more.
