NATIVE HEALTH Domestic Violence Prevention Program for Urban Indigenous People in Maricopa County. - NATIVE HEALTH is seeking funding to expand advocacy, counseling and case management services to victims of domestic violence and sexual violence in the AIAN population of Maricopa County; Foster coalitions and networks to improve care-coordination and collaboration among victim service providers, healthcare providers, and other responders; Educate and train service providers on domestic violence, its impact on victims, and trauma-informed care; Promote and create community education opportunities for adults and youth on domestic and sexual violence, seeking out AIAN women at risk or experiencing acute cases; Enhance organizational practices at NATIVE HEALTH to be more trauma informed; Integrate culturally appropriate practices and implement Trauma-Informed approach to wrap-around service supportive of victims and their families. The plan consists of continuing services that were conducted under the recent DVPI grant and expanding that to include cultural enhancements. Cultural components include the addition of talking circles and cultural classes that involve crafting a medicine pouch. The medicine pouch is used in precise rituals for various purposes. The keeper of each tribe’s medicine bag is typically known as the medicine man, although anyone may possess a bag of his or her own. The bundles are opened only on special religious occasions and contain special stones, herbs, or any object of importance and meaning. This project is meant to increase resilience of the keeper. In addition the program will initiate talking circles to increase peer-to-peer supports.
