The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded the Eastern Shoshone Tribe $300,000 on September 30, 2026, under the 988 and Behavioral Health Crisis Services Programs (CFDA 93.00R). The award funds the DNHC 988 Tribal Response project, which increases awareness and use of the 988 Lifeline on the Wind River Reservation and trains staff at the Doya Natsu Healing Center (DNHC) and partnering organizations using culturally appropriate and culturally responsive methods. The Eastern Shoshone Tribe, located on the Wind River Reservation in central Wyoming, serves 4,510 enrolled members and 3,138 descendant members. The region faces significant barriers to mental health and substance use treatment access due to rural location, limited transportation, stigma, digital inequality, and long wait times. Fremont County is designated a healthcare provider shortage area. Data from the Indian Health Service National Data Warehouse recorded 246 individuals treated at DNHC for self-harm between 2016 and 2020, and the Rocky Mountain Tribal Epidemiology Center documented anxiety as the leading mental health issue in Native communities, with an age-adjusted rate of 917.1 per 10,000. Electronic health record data from DNHC show that 71 percent of female clients report lifetime trauma. Performance occurs in Fort Washakie, Wyoming, with a period of performance from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2029.
