Study Notes

Native and Strong Lifeline Training Curriculum Overview

Mia Click, the Native and Strong Lifeline coordinator, developed a training curriculum for Native and Strong Lifeline counselors.
The curriculum was added to the traditional Lifeline curriculum at VOA when they picked up the Tribal 988 contract.
The training includes answering the phone in a culturally appropriate manner, introducing oneself with tribal affiliation, and emphasizing the importance of sharing personal details to open communication.
Etiquette training emphasizes listening more than speaking, being comfortable with silence, and engaging in casual conversation to establish rapport.
The training encourages counselors to inquire about callers' ideas of healthcare, adapting communication styles to fit the caller's communication style, and not interrupting or finishing the caller's story.
The curriculum educates Native people about protective factors and risk factors for suicide, highlighting traditional spiritual and cultural practices as protective factors.
Protective factors include engaging in traditional practices, positive cultural identity, community involvement, social networks, and connectedness to family and school.
Risk factors for suicide in Native communities include loss of culture, high prevalence of chronic health problems, limited access to healthcare, microaggressions, and dissonance between cultural ideals and behavioral realities.
The training aims to raise awareness among counselors about these protective and risk factors, which are often not deeply considered.
The program also addresses concerns about the effectiveness of the Native and Strong Lifeline, particularly in the context of it being a new initiative.
The training curriculum aims to equip counselors with the necessary skills and cultural awareness to effectively support Native individuals in crisis.
The Native and Strong Lifeline training curriculum is designed to address the unique needs and cultural considerations of Native communities in crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
