We Are Worthy Alaska Safety Card

We Are Worthy is a safety card for women and girls of reproductive age who live in Alaska, including those from Alaska Native villages. The card may be distributed by health care providers, social service providers, advocates, health teachers, and others as part of routine care, or as part of advocacy support, or educational groups. In addition to providing information, positive messages, and safety resources for women, this tool also functions as a prompt for health and behavioral health care providers by providing quick phrases to improve discussions with women about the impact of relationship violence and sexual violence on their overall health and the health of their pregnancies and children. This card was co-created with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and the Alaska Family Violence Prevention Project, and is based on feedback from (primarily) Alaska Native and American Indian women and girls from many rural villages, small towns, and cities in Alaska.
