The Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board's (formerly the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Health Board) Great Plains Native Connections program proposes to continue serving the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe on the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. Suicide, substance use, and low high school graduation rates plague the Crow Creek Sioux Tribal youth. The program will implement a youth navigator program, community support groups, training, and educational workshops connected to Dakota culture. Goal 1 is to increase sustainability efforts to reduce suicide behavior and Substance Use Disorder in the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation beyond the grant period. Goal 2 is to increase behavioral health services and resource utilization. Goal 3 is to increase education opportunities for substance abuse and mental health to reduce stigma. Goal 4 is to promote a culture of trauma healing and behavioral health wellness. Goal 5 is to facilitate tribal suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention community of practice. Although the project aims to reach all tribal members residing on the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation, the project anticipates providing direct services to an unduplicated number of 200 youth ages 24 and under throughout the project.
