OUR VOICES, OUR WAY
Over the past several months Urban Trails San Francisco has been working in collaboration with NAHC Media on a dynamic public arts outreach project. Youth participated in digital arts trainings and focus groups to design slogans that directly address historical trauma and destigmatizing mental health services for self-identified Indigenous youth.
This campaign was developed through a series of community photohoots, Photoshop design workshops, focus groups and creative brainstorming sessions, and committees of youth and families who gave input on the designs. Many thanks to Paloma Flores, Crystal Marich, Tommy Orange, April McGill, Lauren Baehner, Catherine McLively, Serena Wright, Esther Lucero, and Angie Tsosie and all our community partners.
FUNDED BY SAMHSA.
