View Award Description

UAII's SAPTA Project - Substance Abuse prevention, treatment and aftercare for urban American Indians and Alaska Natives in Los Angeles County. - United American Indian Involvement, Inc. (UAII) will utilize Indian Health Service (IHS) SAPTA funding to expand and enhance the culturally relevant substance use prevention, treatment and aftercare services in Los Angeles County. Services will be provided to youth, young adults and adults by recognizing a family strength-based approach to wellness. The primary strategy of UAII’s SAPTA Project is to provide a culturally appropriate, comprehensive and coordinated system of care that addresses the complex needs of AI/AN individuals and families who are, or may be at-risk for symptoms of Substance Use Disorder (SUD). This project recognizes the importance of developing and maintaining a community-driven approach through its’ service delivery system. Presently, UAII has an existing capacity to provide outpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment and referrals for higher levels of care. UAII will expand the coordination of care by strengthening partnerships, training community providers and developing new collaborative relationships in the area of behavioral health. It will also expand community efforts to enhance the referral process for SUD treatment and for community outreach activities. Due to the current pandemic conditions such as social distancing, outreach activities will include social messaging through the internet, but could also include face-to-face contacts at various community events. These outreach activities include disseminating project information to promote services and recruit individual/family participants. UAII will provide prevention and early intervention efforts for AIAN youth and young adults (ages 12-24) by providing workshops and activities to promote youth empowerment and family engagement (Gen-I initiative). Project Venture and GONA are evidence-based cultural resources that will be utilized. Additional workshops will be regularly provided for various audiences to include service providers, youth, young adults, and family members. Workshops will be structured and developed for educational, cultural, and recreational purposes. UAII recognizes the importance of project sustainability. It will explore and initiate the diversification of funding streams such as third-party reimbursement contracts and State Drug Medi-Cal insurance. Community asset mapping will be completed to identify community resources and gaps in the workforce. The recruitment and retention of additional professional and para-professional staff members will be an asset to this project. Project sustainability is also dependent on a relevant data collection system. Data collection for this project will be completed on a regular basis to identify project effectiveness and efficiency and to assess quality assurance. In conclusion, the SAPTA project at UAII will foster coalitions and networks to improve care coordination, educate professional service providers and community members, and provide culturally sensitive SUD services including prevention, early intervention, treatment and aftercare for the AIAN community in Los Angeles County.
