Become a Certified Trainer! 

The Leading the Next Generations Healthy Relationships Curriculum is an innovative tool founded in Native culture and teachings. The Native Wellness Institute developed it specifically for Native couples, people, and communities.

Healthy couples raise healthy children who will, in turn, rebuild the foundation for healthier Native communities. The Healthy Relationships Curriculum and training combines the teachings of our Native ancestors with the realities of today’s world. Using the curriculum can lead to balance of the mind, body, and spirit by creating and strengthening healthier relationships with partners, families, and communities.

The Native Wellness Institutes focus on culturally-based healthy relationship education and promotion makes the Healthy Relationships Curriculum the leader in Indian Country. Imagine tribal communities supporting positive, healthy relationships and having access to information, role models, mentors, training and resources to build healthier relationships and families. This is the goal of the Leading the Next Generations Healthy Relationships Curriculum.

Participants who complete the training will be certified trainers in the Native Wellness Institutes eight lesson Healthy Relationships curriculum. The training will be hands-on, experiential and participants will give presentations to display their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum. The curriculum is great for any youth program. Each person will receive a copy of the curriculum and certificate of completion.
