Tribal communities embrace strong cultural identity as a source of resilience that can empower youth, helping them resist the lure of drugs and overcome challenges posed by substance use disorders. Walking in Strength—a program of Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) grantee, Project Venture, is rooted in this premise. The program aims to strengthen the resilience of youth living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where substance use disorders impact many families. Learn more here.
