"Learning to Thrive" (LtT) will focus on building a strategically effective blueprint that will allow for efficient planning to increase and develop the Round Valley Indian Health Centers (RVIHC) capacity and infrastructure to provide the necessary mental health services. Our Target population for the proposed program are those residing within the Tribal territory of the Round Valley Indian Tribes (RVIT) specifically those residing on the Round Valley Indian Reservation and adjacent town of Covelo, CA. Over the lifetime of the LtT we anticipate serving 500 Tribal community members. Annually we hope to serve an initial amount of 100 in 2020 and increase to 200 in subsequent years. The Round Valley Indian Tribes is a nation of seven confederated tribes established by Executive Order in 1873; homeland to the Wailaki, Nomalaki, Yuki, Pomo, Littlelake, Concow and Pit River Tribes. There are nearly 400 households on the reservation with a total population 1,500 men women and children. Our current Behavioral Health capacity is not sufficient to meet the needs of the community. Currently we have one full-time psychologist in a community that consists of 1,200 men, women and children. This is only accounting for the Native American community. Findings from our 2019 Tribal Community Health Assessment reported that the majority of respondents would like to have higher level mental health services offered. Building our capacity would include increasing our ability to provide these initial critical counseling services that would aid in preventing higher level crises. Implementing a wraparound team approach will keep all entities informed and build a community network of resources. The goals and strategic interventions will be organically developed to increase the capacity and effectiveness of our behavioral health professional and paraprofessional staff to promote a holistic community based coordinated system of care; plan and design a youth mental health service department under the current Health and Human Services Department of the Round Valley Indian Health Center; create a sustainable partnership with the Round Valley Indian Tribes Child and Family Services Department to support mental health and wellness for children, youth and families; work closely with the Tribal Coordinating Committee (TCC) to ensure that Learning to Thrive is actively engaging a wide range of community memebrs of the Round Valley Indian Tribes.
