The Tribal Youth Resource Center is excited to share this resource, “Strength-Based vs Deficit- Based Language” written by Ethleen Iron Cloud-Two Dogs, Tribal Youth TA Manager. All communication— verbal, non-verbal, direct, indirect, and written— is key to establishing a respectful relationship with any person, family, community, or Tribal Nation. This document will be beneficial for any Tribal staff or non-Tribal staff working with the youth in your community.
