View Award Abstract

This grant application seeks to cover, two distinct populations: Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians (HBMI) and those served by Wabanaki Health and Wellness (WHW), a tribal organization serving tribal people from Maine and beyond, many whom live off-reservation. Located in a remote, rural part of northern Maine, the Maliseets are river people who have traditionally been hunters and gatherers in the St. John River basin, of which the Meduxnekeag is a tributary. The Houlton Band of Maliseets received federal recognition on October 10, 1980, as part of the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act. The Tribe has a total enrollment of 1,750 tribal members; 500 living in the Houlton area, 700 within Aroostook County. Wabanaki Health and Wellness (WHW) was founded in 1996 and provides culturally appropriate and high-quality health and wellness services to Native people in Maine. Current services include supportive housing, HIV and Hepatitis C testing and prevention, and public health and health promotion services for members of Tribes living in the service area. WHW, in partnership with others (Cornerstone Behavioral Health, a behavioral health agency), provide outpatient mental health and substance abuse services. Further, services provided at both the Maliseet Tribe and Wabanaki Health and Wellness (WHW), do not currently meet the needs in the community. Lastly, the current services provided do not yet include medication assistance therapy (MAT). Our vision for the Tribal Opioid Response grant program is to increase the capacity of both the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians (HBMI) and Wabanaki Health and Wellness (WHW) to provide MAT and develop additional substance abuse prevention strategies, with a particular focus on youth. This will be accomplished by assessing the best model of care fit for each community, increasing community knowledge and support, increasing employee skills and knowledge with MAT. WHW will conduct a comprehensive strategic plan, based on the most current epidemiological data for the tribe, to address the gaps in prevention, treatment, and recovery identified by the tribe within 60 days of award. This plan will be completed specifically for HBMI as well as a component that assesses the population served by WHW. This plan will have a strong component focused on treatment (i.e. MAT) and youth prevention strategies.
