It is one of the only treatment centers in Minnesota that has only natives working with the clients.

'Auntie Jase' uses their lived experience to cover topics that affect the Indigenous Community and also to talk about addictions and recovery, including harm reduction.

Jase will be presenting "An Indigenous Two Spirit in Two Worlds of Traditional and Western Medicine."
What can I expect?
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexual, asexual, and two spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) people often do not seek health care because of barriers and discrimination.
Join us in June to learn from a diverse group of presenters about health care and health challenges in our LGBTQIA2S+ communities and engage in Q&A sessions.
The presenters, who all identify as LGBTQIA2S+, are working to improve health within mainstream health care and in their cultural communities. You will also hear from voices often under-represented in health care.
