Community Resiliency Workshops
Target Substance Prevention
New outpatient support circles addressing multi-generational dependency patterns through culture-first, relationship-based Native recovery pipelines.
Southcentral Foundation’s behavioral wellness department has launched the Active Community Resiliency Workshops. These newly expanded virtual and in-person outpatient support circles address multi-generational dependency challenges by utilizing culture-first Native storytelling, relationship-based recovery pipelines, and co-located family counselor circles.
Recovery from substance challenges is a journey best taken in partnership. Rather than clinical isolation, Southcentral Foundation’s workshops emphasize the importance of community connection, bringing customer-owners, family circles, and peer advisors together in mutual encouragement.

The resiliency workshops provide outpatient support covering: emotional coping mechanisms, processing family generational traumas, developing positive personal identities, and building active, healthy networks to prevent dependency relapses.

The workshops are offered both virtually for rural village clinics and in-person at our Anchorage and Mat-Su campus buildings. Led by peer recovery coaches and clinical therapists, these support circles integrate traditional Native value blocks directly into standard cognitive behavioral pathways.
“True recovery is built when we share our stories and reconnect with our heritage,” explained a recovery group counselor. “These circles give customer-owners a warm, confidential, and safe space where they are heard, supported, and loved by their peers.”
