Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group
Online Resources Landing Page
The Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group is an online, asynchronous group intervention that will run for 3-months with approximately 30 days of content developed. It is private and hidden, meaning only those in the study will be able to see or find the group. It will be moderated by two women from the study team (one AIAN and one biracial). A back-up moderator will also have access to the group. Participants will be able to comment, react, view, and post in the intervention group, and are encouraged to interact with one another.
The Online Resources Landing Page was developed by the study team using https://carrd.co. It includes links to local programs in family services, substance use recovery, legal advocacy, etc. which already exist and may help support their recovery.
