The White Earth Strategic Substance Abuse Prevention Framework - Partnerships for Success project will reach Native American and non-Native American youth ages 9-20 and parents/supportive adults who reside on the White Earth Reservation. The White Earth Nation will successfully implement an evidence-based, culturally validated and sustainable integrated approach to youth substance use prevention through partnerships with youth support services. It is anticipated that the project will reach 2,000 individuals annually for the first three years of the grant and 800 youth year four and five for a total of 2,800 individuals throughout the lifetime of the 5-year project. It is the mission of the White Earth Nation to preserve, promote and enhance our quality of life. It is the intention of this project to have a broad and lasting positive effect on all White Earth Reservation communities to address substance abuse and behavioral health disparities among our people. Our young ones are the future of the White Earth Nation and prevention of substance abuse problems, which are all too prevalent among our people, gives our youth a better opportunity to seek their dreams and to have “mino-bimaadiziwin (the good life)”. Project Goals: Goal 1: Adopt and implement the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) for White Earth Nation-Public Health (WEN-PH) alcohol prevention infrastructure enhancement. Objectives with clear measures of success include utilizing the Strategic Prevention Framework 5 step process (assess, build, engage, implement, and evaluate) to develop substance abuse prevention infrastructure and effective prevention strategies while ensuring cultural competence and sustainability throughout the process. Goal 2: Establish White Earth Reservation local SEOW and coordinate with key personnel and sub-recipient partners to complete infrastructure development. Objectives with clear measures of success include SEOW development, assigning project personnel, and provision of technical assistance and training to ensure sustainability. Goal 3: Adopt a White Earth Reservation specific health care data infrastructure /management information system (MIS). Objectives with clear measures of success include researching, selecting, implementing, and evaluating data system to collect and analyze White Earth Reservation specific population data. Goal 4: Successfully implement evidence-based, culturally validated prevention intervention with youth (ages 9 -20) and their parents/identified supportive adults that is data-driven, outcome based. Objectives with clear measures of success include researching, selecting, implementing, and evaluating youth prevention intervention as well as the development of a local SADD chapter to engage and support youth in substance use prevention.
