The "e luuwii?" (Are you well?) project is an initiative of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians to address mental health and behavioral health needs of Tribal members and their families that were revealed and/or exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and required mitigation response. The project utilizes remote connectivity to ensure Tribal members and their families can access services and supports to cultural-based and evidence-based best practices, including therapy, telemedicine, and treatment. The project also provides added capacity to ensure fundamental supports such as recovery housing, childcare assistance, and transportation vouchers are available for Tribal members and their families as they work to recover from mental health, behavioral health, and/or co-occurring issues including those with diagnosed serious mental illness, substance abuse disorder, as well as healthcare workers and other Tribal members with less serious mental illness. The measurable objectives associated with this project include: Objective 1: Within 16 months of the project launch, provide direct service and supports to a minimum of 70 Tribal members with SMI, SUD, or co-occurring conditions. Objective 2: Within 16 months of the project launch, provide direct service and supports to a minimum of 10 healthcare workers with less severe mental illness. Objective 3: Within 16 months of the project launch, provide direct service and supports to a minimum of 20 other Tribal members and their families with less severe mental illness.
