The mission of the Veterans Memorial Youth Center’s Youth Lodge Program is to foster positive youth development among Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate youth through traditional cultural teachings, connectedness, and a holistic health. In order to address this goal, we will focus on addressing serious emotional disturbances, serious mental illness, and related risk factors among youth who are members of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation. The project will work with not only the youth who are affected, but also the families involved to foster healing throughout our communities. Our program goals include: Goal 1: Increase the capacity of the Veterans Memorial Youth Center's Youth Lodge Program and Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate tribal programs/organizations to provide mental health treatment and related support services to Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and those with early signs and symptoms of serious mental illness (SMI). Goal 2: Identify and address SED and associated risk factors among Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate youth through the development and implementation of culturally appropriate and community relevant prevention, psychological services, and life skills development strategies.
