Research & Evaluation Services

Led by Dr. Victoria Blacksmith, our research efforts focus on culturally rooted, community-informed studies that elevate Indigenous voices in behavioral health, wellness, and systems change. We offer program evaluation, needs assessments, and data-driven insights to guide equity-focused initiatives, ensuring that research serves the people it represents.
