The What is done to one is felt by all. Honor our people campaign was developed by the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB), the Indian Health Service (IHS), Tribes, and tribal organizations to help communities address this concern. *Funding for this campaign was provided by the Indian Health Services Division of Behavioral Health.

The goal of the campaign is to bring awareness to and to prevent the different forms of family violence that occur in many tribal communities. The campaign focuses on three different violence topics: Child Maltreatment, Elder Abuse, and Intimate Partner Violence (also known as domestic violence).

The campaign includes:

·         Logo jpegs that communities can use on their own print materials and promotional items (T-shirts, key chains, water bottles, etc.).

·         3 Posters – 1 for each topic

·         3 Rack cards – 1 for each topic

·         T-shirts

·         3 Public Service Announcements (PSA) – 1 for each topic
