SUMMARY:Using the Personal Balance Tool for Youth Self-Assessment and Goal Development
DESCRIPTION:The Personal Balance Tool is a youth-developed and published self-assessment tool that is used to develop youth-driven holistic wellness goals. The tool includes 20 items rated on a 5 point Likert scale that are mapped onto mental\, emotional\, physical\, and spiritual wellness constructs. In the original paper version\, each item of the tool links to a section of a medicine wheel that allows youth to color with four (4) different colored crayons. This supports youth in learning about holistic balance and gives them the ability to visually see the amount of color in each area of wellness so they may consider holistic wellness goals for themselves. In this session the Personal Balance Tool authors will provide a demonstration of how the tool is implemented electronically in a Virtual platform. The session will include how the Personal Balance tool is being used by Urban Indian Health Organizations. \nPresenters: \n\nJami Bartgis (Cherokee Nation)\, President and CEO\, One Fire Associates\, LLC\nRachel Ramirez (Wukchumni-Yokut)\, Director of Youth Services\, Fresno American Indian Health Project\n\nObjectives: \n\nLearn how to support a ‘mini-teach’ to administer the Personal Balance Tool with youth virtually.\nIdentify tools and resources for supporting youth in setting their own SMART goals.\nUnderstand the various settings and contexts in which the Personal Balance Tool can be used.

This program intends to highlight UIOs with HIV treatment and prevention programs in place to share their best practices throughout the urban American Indian and Alaska Native healthcare community. \nCoral is something that American Indians attribute soothing qualities to; maintaining that it garners power in its rise from the sea.

We want to acknowledge the Coral Council as protectors and have a symbolic representation of the strength they bring with their knowledge and expertise.
