Many mental health problems are direct result of historical attempts by whites to destroy culture thus there are clear programs with adopting interventions derived from european. Adopting intervention from that dominant culture would be a continuation of the problem. Any successful intervention would have to be developed from the spiritual/cultural traditions of that specific community. Surface level integration of cultural references in a program makes no difference. Deep integration of community values requires in depth understanding and those factors serve as a fundamental basis for the theory/implementation of a program. All these programs have their largest effects when they are offered in conjunction w each other.
