Mending the Circle will adopt Multidimensional Family Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MDFT)/Rational Living Therapy (RLT) with the targeted populations of adolescents and transitional aged youth and their family/caregivers. This collaboration between the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, New Frontier Treatment, and Quest Counseling Inc., is designed to expand and enhance substance use and co-occurring treatment in underserved northern and rural Nevada. The three major goals of the project are: 1) To provide MDFT and RLT training to staff of New Frontier, Quest Counseling, and the Fallon Tribal Health Center in order to enhance and expand delivery of services for adolescents and transitional aged youth with substance use and co-occurring mental disorders in Northern Nevada; 2) To provide enhanced and expanded substance use, tobacco cessation, and co-occurring mental health disorder services to the adolescents and transitional aged youth in Northern Nevada; 3) To foster increased collaboration and coordination between agencies working with young people in Northern Nevada to meet the ever increasing behavioral health care needs of adolescents and transitional aged youth. The geographic catchment area is primarily the ten counties in the north/northwestern part of Nevada which is a vast geographic expanse. The project will serve youth from throughout northern Nevada, 12-24 years of age, without preference for age, race, ethnicity, culture, language, sexual orientation, disability, literacy, and gender. Over the four-year project period, a total of 520 youth will be served - (130 unduplicated clients each year of the grant). The creation of the Northern Nevada Youth Council will help improve the integration and efficiency of the adolescent substance use, co-occurring substance use, and mental health disorders treatment and recovery support systems.
