TeiNii I iinKiin Native Connections will serve 2,545 Aaniih and Nakoda youth through age 24 in the population to be served on or near the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. Fort Belknap Indian Community seeks funding to plan and implement a culturally competent substance abuse prevention, suicide prevention, trauma reduction and mental health promotion services for Aaniih and Nakoda youth. Our vision of the TeiNii I iinKiin Native Connections is to increase capacity of youth and young adult (up through age 24)-serving agencies to lay the foundation of childhood mental health issues, experiences of trauma, suicide risk, and a perpetuation of the cycle of violence. Goals: 1. Develop a process and structure that involves the community in guiding all grant efforts, including planning, carrying out the plan, and evaluation. 2. Mobilize SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a five step planning process to guide the selection, implementation, and evaluation of effective, culturally appropriate, and sustainable prevention activities. 3. Develop protocols for responding to suicide, suicide attempts, and clusters. Designed to promote community healing and reduce the possibility of contagion (suicides following and connected to an initial suicide). These ‘postvention’ protocols will reflect the traditions and ways of knowing and being of the Aaniih and Nakoda tribal citizens. Year One’s community needs assessment will shape the direction of Years two through five.
