The Rocky Boy Health Center (RBHC) Emergency COVID-19 Project will serve American Indian persons with a Serious Mental Illness (SMI), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), and/or a co-occurring SMI and SUD on the Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation. The community faces a high prevalence of serious mental illness, substance abuse, suicide and chronic poverty.
