A1 - Knipp, Hannah A1 - Solomon, Tamela Autumn A1 - Comby, Nikki A1 - Comby, Harold A1 - Haynes, Patricia A1 - Ferris, Kathleen A1 - Goldberg, Maple SP - 245 EP - 261 VL - 104 IS - 3 N2 - Family prevention programs that enhance mental health, wellness, and resilience-while simultaneously addressing violence and alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse-among Indigenous families are scarce. This gap in culturally grounded and community-based programs creates a critical need to develop and evaluate the efficacy of such prevention programs. This article fills this gap, with the purpose of describing the structure and content of the Weaving Healthy Families (WHF) program, a culturally grounded and community-based program aimed at preventing violence and AOD use while promoting mental health, resilience, and wellness in Indigenous families. The focus then turns to how to approach this process of developing and implementing the program in a culturally grounded and community-based way.
