Seattle Race and Social Justice Initiative
Report describes an outreach effort using wellness boxes to connect with Indigenous communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Designed specifically to draw on culturally relevant sources of strength and resilience, these boxes contained a variety of items to support mental, emotional, cultural, and physical wellbeing. Feedback from recipients suggest that these wellness boxes provided a unique form of COVID-19 relief. This report provides an example of how using culturally relevant practices can increase engagement with traditionally underserved communities.
