We believe healing is medicine. Through culture, creativity, and connection, CDI Lapwai supports youth and families in reclaiming their strength, stories, and purpose. This is community-led care for our people, by our people.
Our Services
Healing Through Hip Hop is a culturally responsive, trauma-informed wellness approach that uses music, storytelling, and creative expression to support emotional healing, identity development, and resilience among youth and families. Rooted in Hip Hop culture and Indigenous values, the program creates safe spaces for participants to share their stories, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills through songwriting, listening, dialogue, and mentorship, transforming lived experience into tools for growth and empowerment.
About
our company
CDI Lapwai was created in response to long-standing gaps in culturally responsive services for Native and rural communities. Too often, programs are designed without community voice, cultural understanding, or lived experience.
We built CDI Lapwai to change that.
Our organization grew from grassroots work in youth mentorship, cultural education, creative healing, and community organizing. Over time, this work evolved into a holistic model that supports individuals, families, and community leaders, centered on dignity, accountability, and collective responsibility.
