The Healthy Native Youth collective has been busy this past year! We would like to reflect on our efforts in this month’s issue and share some opportunities as our stocking stuffers!
We will be taking some time off over the holidays, but do stay connected via our Healthy Native Youth social media channels: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We are truly grateful for your interest and all the good work you do to raise Healthy Native Youth!
