About Us
Mission
- The mission of the Indian Health Center of Santa Clara Valley is to help ensure the survival and healing of American Indians/Alaskan Natives and our community by providing high quality, comprehensive health care and wellness services.
- To prove that our community defined evidence based practice is an effective practice to prevent mental illness and/or reduce its severity among the Native American population in California.
Approach to programming
Strengthening Youth and Families programming revolves around the principle that Native American mental health and Native American culture are intertwined. All programming offers instruction in cultural skill-building and values as well as a connection to the broader Santa Clara County Native community. Many folks in urban areas are denied access to cultural resources, and this programming offers them an opportunity to find community and healing in a cultural context. In this way, Native Americans in Santa Clara County are rising above historical trauma and creating a healthy, happy, and strong community.
