SMAHRT and We R Native

SMAHRT began collaborating with the NPAIHB’s multimedia health resource We R Native in late 2015. Together we focused on better understanding how teens interpret social media comments, likes, and shares that are deemed “concerning”; how teens perceive and react to “crisis” messages posted on social media; and what types of social media interventions/ messages would be considered most acceptable to youth.

Since that time, our partnership has conducted surveys and focus groups with Native youth in the Northwest to address our three areas of interest. With their help, SMAHRT and We R Native have made strides in developing methods for assisting adolescents in crisis.
