Abstract
This presentation focuses on native American youth and how work with this population can be improved by following the Relational World View as a theoretical framework.

Findings of the study explore young people's perceptions of challenges, needs and supports. Finally, the presenters discuss expansion of the assessment tool to address transition domains.
