“My dream is to start a culturally inclusive group home available to American Indian and Alaska Native communities that provides substance use and grief services for adolescents and young adults placed in tribal custody. Thus, my research interests are decolonization of therapy involving addiction and grief. This funding will influence research development and networking with individuals nationwide.”
