The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indian’s Behavioral Health Program’s goal is to improve the overall wellbeing of Maliseet tribal members, their family, and community. Proposed services and activities will be provided through an array of coordinated services offering prevention, evidenced based treatments, family engagement and community collaboration and outreach. The HBMI Behavioral Health Program proposes to enhance the lives of children, adolescents and their families through an array of services designed to assist those who are experiencing emotional difficulties, behavioral problems and or/substance abuse. With the help of these funds, the HBMI will expand the Behavioral Health Program. There are four major goals with several objectives in the action plan of the project. Each one of these goals and objectives has been linked to specific and measurable targets and indicators, to monitor implementation, progress, effectiveness and impact. With effective implementation of the goals and objectives, individuals who are at risk, who have or who are impacted by substance use disorders will: 1. Find it easier to receive substance use and mental health services 2. Be offered evidence based and cultural treatment options by skilled licensed professionals 3. Be provided with skills and confidence to self-seek help for early intervention 4. Be able to participate in the delivery and evaluation of the treatment and process so it better suits their needs. 5. Have better outcomes because of integrated, patient/family centered care
