About us
The UAF Rural Human Services program is designed for rural, village-based human service workers interested in growing their skills and supporting their communities. Developed in partnership with locals, Elders, faculty, and Alaska Native agencies, the program is Indigenous-focused and connects personal healing, leadership, and wellness.
Students in the program can expect to gain skills and knowledge in areas such as substance abuse, suicide prevention, crisis intervention, interpersonal violence, grief and healing. The education model used is specifically intended to fit the educational needs of the adult Alaska Native learner.
