Abstract: The Pascua Yaqui Tribal COVID-19 Adult Wellness Project (TCAWP) goal is to expand and enhance tribal efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, to reduce and prevent the overall number of suicides or risk-taking activities among adults ages 25 years and older, by connecting clients back to natural and tribal supports agencies, bringing a sense of balance and hope for tribal members to resolve the pressing/crisis situation. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe (Tribe) was nationally recognized in 1978 with a current tribal enrollment of nearly 21,000, with over 5,200 residing on the New Pascua Reservation. The Reservation is located southwest of Tucson, Arizona, fifty miles from the border with Mexico. In 2009 the tribe was shaken by a series of six suicides in quick succession. Measures were put in place at that time, but since then there is limited data on actual suicides in the community, due in part to stigma related to suicide. As is the case with most tribal communities, risk factors related to higher levels of health disparities is a multigenerational issue based in part on historical trauma and ongoing environmental factors impacting the lives of the tribal community. The high prevalence of suicide among the AI/AN population and the comparative differences in suicide circumstances among AI/AN decedents illustrate some of the disparities this population faces. Focused, yet comprehensive, suicide prevention and intervention efforts are needed that incorporate culturally relevant, evidence-based strategies at the individual, interpersonal, and community levels. Historically issues related to domestic violence, alcohol use drug use, and high-risk behaviors escalate during times of fiscal upheaval, unemployment, insecurity related to education, securing food, and the funds necessary to live a life in balance as was the case prior to the pandemic. The current National COVID-19 crisis has contributed to a growing number of individuals, including tribal members, needing urgent care to address mental health needs, including suicidality. In addition, the country is struggling with increases in depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, isolation, loss of employment, financial instability, and other challenges, which can lead to suicide and suicide attempts. Thus, TCAWP will focus on DV clients, elders and adults, 25 years of age and older, providing screening, cultural supportive groups, and activities focused on case management, and referral to existing 3rd party mental health service providers. The objectives include: Objective 1: Within the first three months of the project, coordinate a Partnership Committee made up of four tribal providers of care, who will meet on a monthly basis, to review existing resources, identify areas of need/gaps in services, and develop a Community TCWAP Plan. Objective 2: By the end of the 16 months, train at least 30 professional and 100 community members in ASIST/QPR and other awareness/prevention topics through a series of up to eight workshops. Objective 3: By the end of the 16 months, provide outreach to 3000 community members, screening 1000 individuals, assessment and referral of 150 individuals in emergency and ongoing service in the tribal community.
