‍
Fast Company's "World Changing Ideas 2023"

Hero’s Story is a comprehensive solution to reduce isolation and promote community healing amongst AI/AN veterans and Tribal communities via accessible traditional healing practices.

Who We Are

Televeda is a group working to reduce social isolation and loneliness for those who face challenges connecting. Members of the Televeda team include first-generation and 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th- generation immigrants. We are Indigenous peoples, Arizonans, New Yorkers, Africans, Guatemalans, New Mexicans, and Indians. We are varied genders and sexual orientations, we are multi-generational, and we are all passionate about making human connections.

We have deep and powerful partnerships in the communities we support, including Navajo Nation, Hopi, Lakota, Pascua Yaqui, Tohono O’odham, and more. Our work is community-led and always community first.

Digital Inclusion

The right kind of care in the right place

Televeda is actively engaged with Broadband efforts to increase digital infrastructure on Tribal Lands. We support this effort today through effective digital literacy training and access to devices, and will continue to help improve access to care for all Tribal areas.

Over 67% of AIAN veterans don't use the Veterans Affairs mental health services.

Some rural Tribal Community members, Navajo Nation residents must drive an average of 3-4 hours to access healthcare resources.

Over 73% of households lack broadband access and over 51% lack computers.

Evidence-Based Research

We incorporate traditional healing practices like storytelling and talking-circle interventions to facilitate community healing. We are establishing a research-based framework that honors traditional methods, unlocking a new path to care. The project builds upon validated practices including peer support, group therapy, and narrative medicine to establish a culturally-sensitive framework uniquely designed for AIANVs.

What Will The Hero's Story Project Do?

Ambitious rollout of Digital Infrastructure. We are increasing broadband access and digital-literacy in Indian country to improve access to care.

Web application delivering care where the people are. We're launching the first indigenous community-based app to facilitate building a trusted network of culturally-appropriate interventions & resources that support mental health.

Evidence & research-based framework & analysis. We incorporate traditional healing practices like storytelling and talking-circle interventions to reduce social isolation and facilitate community healing.

A Complex Problem

Improving access to care where & how the people want it.

American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) have the highest rates of PTSD and suicide. They often have trouble accessing care or don't want to receive services due to a historical lack of trust in the government & culturally inadequate resources.

  • Over 67% of AIAN veterans don't use the Veterans Affairs mental health services.
  • Navajo Nation residents must drive an average of 3-4 hours to access healthcare resources.
  • Over 73% of households lack broadband access and over 51% lack computers.
Suicide

Evidence-Based Research

"Historical Trauma" is not indexed in the DSM-5 as a diagnosis despite being a known contributing factor for suicide in the AIAN population. Treating intergenerational trauma to support mental health would be a seismic shift in how Western healthcare system evaluate these traditional practices. 

The Hero's Story initiative would be the first time indigenous practices would be digitized and remotely accessible for mental health support. The project builds upon validated practices including peer support, group therapy, and narrative medicine to establish a culturally-sensitive framework uniquely designed for AIANVs.
