Project Name: Helena Indian Alliance Native Connections Project Population(s) to be served (demographics and clinical characteristics): Native American youth up to age 24 in the Helena Indian Alliance's catchment area (Lewis and Clark County, Broadwater County, and Jefferson County) Strategies/interventions: Tier One - Universal Prevention Strategies; Tier Two - Selective Prevention and Intervention Strategies; and Tier Three - Indicated Prevention and Intervention Strategies Project goals and measurable objectives: The goal of the HIA Native Connections Project is to prevent and reduce suicidal behavior and substance abuse, reduce the impact of trauma, and promote behavioral health among American Indian youth (ages 24 or younger) within the HIA catchment area. To achieve this goal, we have developed the following measurable objectives: Objective 1: By the end of Year 1, HIA will conduct one (1) Community System Analysis; one (1) Community Needs Assessment; and, one (1) Community Readiness Assessment; and will develop one (1) Community Resource/Asset Map focused on addressing suicide prevention, substance abuse prevention, and behavioral health disorders in the HIA catchment area. Objective 2: By the end of Year 1, HIA will develop one (1) set of community-driven suicide prevention policies and procedures; one (1) set of protocols; and one (1) set of postvention protocols designed to address the standards of care for youth at risk of suicide. Objective 3: The HIA will develop (year one) and implement (years two through five) one (1) community-driven Action Plan that will address the three (3) tiers of prevention and intervention strategies: Universal Prevention Strategies, Selective Prevention and Intervention Strategies, and Indicated Prevention and Intervention Strategies. Objective 4: During the project period, the HIA will recruit and implement a school and community-based behavioral health youth and/or peer led group that will meet at least monthly (throughout the school year) to assist in developing and implementing a suicide prevention plan for native youth located within the catchment area, as measured by Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) roster, meeting minutes, sign in sheets, and external evaluation results. The number of people to be served annually and throughout the lifetime of the project: At least 125 (tier one, unduplicated count) per year; 625 (tier one, duplicated count) over the life of the project; 100 (tier two, unduplicated count) per year; 500 (tier two) over the life the project; 75 (tier three, unduplicated count) per year; 375 (tier three) over the life of the project.
