With the continued rise in the rates of substance-use, suicide, and severe mental illnesses in Native American communities, direct services are absolutely essential in assuring that our at-risk populations have the tools and resources they need to build a better future. As one of the only mental health organizations serving all Native American's, families, and communities in northern New Mexico, our goal is to continue to meet the needs of those that we serve. The mission of the Tewa Roots Society Outdoor Behavioral Health and Clinical Service Grant is to take the blueprint that was formed through our Circles of Care grant, and continue to focus on building one of the most dynamic mental health service programs, in the country.
