Abstract:
(1) Background: This study aimed to examine adult participants perceptions of the Thiwáhe Gluwáš'akapi (TG) program. We recruited 13 of 85 (15.3%) adult participants from various previous cohorts of the TG program, separated into lower and higher participation groups. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted. This study was conducted on a Northern Plains reservation, and interviews took place via phone. (2) Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 13 adult participants with children aged 10-12 were completed. Audio files were transcribed and analyzed with ATLAS.ti. (3) Results: Qualitative analysis of these interviews revealed several themes: positive reception by families, enhanced connections to Lakota culture and community, and improved familial relationships. Several barriers to participation emerged, such as difficulties with transportation, scheduling conflicts, and lack of time, which can inform implementation strategies. Observed themes showcase positive impacts of TG on parent-child relationships and cultural connection, aiding overall wellbeing and substance use discourse. (4) Conclusions: Participants in the TG program expressed high satisfaction with the program, gained new skills, and improved family dynamics. Future implementation of TG should include additional transportation support and session scheduling options, in addition to updated implementation strategies to further improve Lakota families' mental health and wellbeing.
