The Good Road of Life is a trauma-informed, culture and resilience-based curriculum that utilizes peer support to overcome multiple risk factors including substance misuse, historical and everyday trauma, violence prevention, suicide prevention, grief-loss, forgiveness, spirituality, healthy relationships, family preservation and communications skills. The model uses Dr. Clayton Small’s dissertation study completed at Gonzaga University that focused on wellness and healing for Native people. This is an opportunity for tribal courts, law enforcement, schools, mental health, social services and treatment programs to collaborate on a less punitive approach in the healing of their communities.
