Santo Domingo Pueblo will implement a Mobile Crisis Team initiative that targets reform at the tribal level, as well as delivering direct services to vulnerable community members. This proposal requests funding for a Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) that would increase and sustain access to behavioral health services for tribal members of Santo Domingo Pueblo. The MCT will provide crisis stabilization services to community members at home or in the community to address suicidal ideation, escalating mental health needs, and substance use issues. Santo Domingo Kewa Family Wellness Center is the right agency to oversee the implementation of these services as individuals from Santo Domingo are the most equipped to provide culturally sensitive and appropriate services to this population. Service provision will be impactful because it is grounded in evidence-based practices in crisis intervention that include motivational interviewing, trauma informed care, and harm reduction approaches. Current relationships with our community partners and a fully staffed team will ensure we can provide real time coordinated crisis interventions. Community partners will include law enforcement, EMS, emergency services, faith-based organizations, and other tribal departments. If awarded Kewa Family Wellness Center will enter into a formal agreement with our local health center, our EMS responders, our local BIA service provider, and our Tribal Official team.
