The Division of Indian Work (DIW), a non-profit Native American-owned organization in Minneapolis, Minnesota, received a $200,000 Project Grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Congressional Directives federal grant program (CFDA 93.493). The grant, with a performance period from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2025, supports DIW's programs that prevent the onset of illegal drug use, prescription drug misuse and abuse, and alcohol misuse and abuse among urban American Indian pregnant and parenting mothers. The programs provide these mothers with education, prevention tools, resources, and support to remain sober and seek treatment if necessary. They also connect mothers to cultural practices and ceremonies, and provide wraparound services such as one-on-one doula support, traditional birthing groups, and access to a food shelf. As an American Indian-led organization, DIW is well-positioned to deliver culturally appropriate, low-barrier assistance to the urban American Indian community in Minneapolis.
