The Two Feathers Native American Family Services of Humboldt County, CA, Making Relatives Project, serves American Indian (AI) youth ages 12-24 and their families in Humboldt County with a focus on the Southern Humboldt region. The project seeks to engage high risk youth by addressing current mental health gaps in tribal communities through a culturally-based home and community system of care for AI youth and their families. To meet the needs of the elevated rates of co-occurring disorders (e.g., suicide and substance use disorders) in Southern Humboldt communities, our program will include wraparound services, intensive case management, substance abuse treatment, pro-social activities and cultural programming, to reintegrate tribal youth and their families into their communities and increase overall well-being. The Making Relatives' primary goals include: Goal 1: Continue implementation of a culturally-based substance use and intensive case management program utilizing a family focused wraparound model for 15 AI/AN youth and their families each year; Goal 2: Provide culturally-based, early intervention services to 15 AI/AN youth per year; and, Goal 3: Enhance the Making Relatives Program to establish efficacy and sustainability of the program.
