The Tiwahe Glu Kini Pi (TGKP)System of Care on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, serves the Sicangu Lakota Oyate, known as the Rosebud Sioux. TGKP will add a Native Connections Project that will work with the TGKP partner organizations to address suicide and substance use/abuse prevention.The vision that drives efforts on the Rosebud are collaborative in nature and include a commitment to stronger, healthier and happier families, and to a strong and vibrant tribal nation. TGKP's Goal for a Native Connections program is twofold: 1) to design a cohesive and collaborative approach to mental health, 2) to institutionalize the approach so that all tribal and other agencies acting on the Rosebud on behalf of the Sicangu Oyate work to reduce substance use/abuse among all residents so that an improved environment leads to a reduction in mental and physical illness, especially a reduction in suicide completions, attempts, and ideation among youth and young adults ages 5-24. TGKP will work with the assigned SAMHSA Government Project Officer (GPO) and the Tribal Training and Technical Assistance Center staff to complete the required Community Needs Assessment, a Community Readiness Assessment, and create a Community Resource/Asset Map.Using the information from the Assessments, TGKP expects to propose Native Connections activities in all three Prevention Tiers beyond Year 1: Tier 1 Universal PreventionStrategies, Tier 2 Selective Prevention Strategies, and Tier 3 Indicated PreventionStrategies
