Click the link to download the handouts from the session: Native American Teachers, Helpers, and Healers: Animals, Stones, Plants, and the Little People. The purpose of this webinar is to touch upon Native Spiritual beliefs on other beings within Creation that the Creator sent to teach man how to live in harmony with, how to conduct oneself, but also to bring healing, protection, and guidance. This also brings about the relationships and beliefs that we are all brothers and sisters under the Creator, because without Nature and the rest of Creation, man cannot survive. This presentation will also bring about a better understanding to non-Natives to correct stereotypical beliefs of Natives and also to bring about knowledge of the teachings taught to these speakers that may be different from other tribal teachings.

    El Modelo Cognitivo Conductual (MCC) es el más utilizado en el tratamiento de los Trastornos por Consumo de Sustancias (TCS). Está centrado en el presente; es breve; promueve identificar las creencias, actitudes, expectativas y atribuciones en relación con un problema; busca solucionar problemas; y, promueve que la recuperación se sostenga por el autorrefuerzo que desarrolla la persona.

It focuses on the present; it is brief; it promotes the identification of beliefs, attitudes, expectations and attributions in relation to a problem; it seeks to solve problems; and, it promotes that recovery is sustained by the personal development of self-reinforcement.
