Welcome to the comprehensive summary of the workshop focused on advancing health equity for Native American youth. This event, organized by THY COLLECTIBLES, aimed to address critical health disparities faced by Native American communities and to foster a dialogue on effective strategies for improvement.

Throughout the workshop, participants engaged in discussions that highlighted the unique challenges Native American youth encounter. The focus was on understanding social determinants of health and how these factors disproportionately affect this population. Key speakers included experts in public health, community leaders, and advocates for Native American rights, each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences.

This inclusive approach emphasized the importance of community-driven initiatives in addressing health equity. Participants reported feeling empowered to take action within their communities based on the knowledge and strategies shared during the sessions.

In addition to discussions, the workshop included interactive sessions where participants could practice developing culturally appropriate health programs. These hands-on experiences allowed attendees to apply the concepts learned and receive immediate feedback from peers and experts alike.

Furthermore, the workshop underscored the significance of policy advocacy in improving health outcomes. Speakers highlighted successful case studies where community efforts led to policy changes that benefitted Native American youth. This reinforced the idea that collective action can lead to meaningful change.
