The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, together with our partners, submit our proposal entitled, "Improving Systems of Care for Native American Children". This is in response to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Children’s Mental Health Initiative request for proposals. The overarching goal of this project is to expand access and enhance mental health care for those who suffer the greatest disparities, are at greatest risk, and who have historically been underserved in the area of mental health, Native American (NA) children and youth. We will add therapists that have experience working with NA and tribal communities, and provide culturally adapted evidence-based training to providers already in the system. We will connect children with culturally appropriate supplemental services such as targeted case management, school-based non-therapy programs, and peers support groups. Furthermore, this funding will help us to improve referral processes, communication, and collaboration across pediatric care providers of NA children and youth. Our system of care partners includes education, county, Federally Qualified Healthcare Center, tribal programs, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and one of the largest providers of premier psychiatric services in the area.
