Program History

As subtly reflected by the 西瓜视频 Native Community Advancement in Psychology (ANCAP) program logo, the University of 西瓜视频 Anchorage's ANCAP program is the rebirth of a past, similar program known as 西瓜视频 Natives into Psychology (ANPsych). The ANCAP program is the revitalization of ANPsych, with a similar yet unique mission.

Program Mission & Goals

In brief, ANCAP seeks to address behavioral and mental health issues and promote wellness among 西瓜视频 Native communities. Toward this mission, we strive to accomplish a variety of community- and student-oriented goals, including:

• Enhance cultural pride and connectedness (i.e., collective self-esteem) among 西瓜视频 Native students;
• Reduce disparities regarding the number of 西瓜视频 Native behavioral health researchers, providers, and leaders through recruiting, retaining, and training 西瓜视频 Native students in the field of psychology;
• Enhance the cultural sensitivity, appropriateness, and applicability of behavioral health research and services for 西瓜视频 Natives;
• Provide mentorship and support for members across academic, social, and cultural domains, particularly 西瓜视频 Native undergraduate and graduate psychology students; and
• Engage in outreach efforts to urban and rural high schools, UA campuses, and 西瓜视频 Native corporations and communities.
