Summary
This study tested a program called Wakȟáŋyeža (Little Holy One) with 124 Native American caregivers and their 2-to-5-year-old children on a Northern Plains reservation. The goal was to reduce trauma and stress in parents, improve parenting skills, and boost children's emotional and behavioral development to lower their future risk for suicide and substance use. The program was culturally adapted and delivered in the community.
