The Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma’s Mental Health Awareness Training (ITO MHAT) project will serve tribal citizens, tribal-serving agencies and professionals, and community members. Iowa Tribe is a Sovereign Nation with over 800 citizens and a mostly rural jurisdiction located in the state of Oklahoma, covering Lincoln, Logan and Payne counties and a small portion of Oklahoma county which is a more urban population. ITO’s MHAT project will train a minimum of 10% of our tribal population (80 individuals) in two evidence-based trainings, Mental Health First Aid Training and Crisis Intervention Team training with the goals of (1) increasing referrals to our behavioral health services, (2) increasing awareness of tribal resources and services, and (3) increasing access to services. The project will span five years and because tribal lands in Oklahoma are not demarcated reservation lands ITO’s MHAT project will also positively impact the overarching communities in which our tribal citizens reside.
HHS’ Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System (TAGGS) website provides access to detailed descriptions of grants, loans, aggregated direct payments and other types of financial assistance awarded by the HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs) and the Office of the Secretary Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs).
