Healthy Families uses Elluarluteng Ilakutellriit; a framework demonstrating the life cycle of traditional practices, values and beliefs, as told by Elders from around the region and the late Peter Jacobs. The program currently offers a three-and-a-half day workshop, which is held monthly in Bethel. Facilitators are available to work directly with Tribes to host Workshops at the community level. Local agencies also utilize the Healthy Families Workshop as a training tool for staff who are new to the region, which strengthens their ability to provide services in culturally appropriate ways.
