Family Spirit addresses intergenerational behavioral health problems, applies local cultural assets, and overcomes deficits in the professional healthcare workforce in low-resource communities.

It has evidence to address maternal stress, substance use, depression and behavior problems, while promoting children’s earliest social, emotional and behavioral development.
