The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation received a $1,999,800 Project Grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (CFDA 93.104) program. The 4-year grant will serve Native children and youth, birth through age 21, who are at risk for or have serious emotional disturbance (SED) or serious mental illness (SMI), as well as their families, within Yakima County, Washington.
The key products and services to be delivered include: expanding crisis stabilization and intensive care coordination services; increasing provider capacity to deliver culturally relevant, evidence-based, trauma- and grief-informed mental health interventions; integrating traditional healing practices into the Yakama Nation's behavioral health system and tribal school; and enhancing family and youth engagement in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the system of care. The grant aims to strengthen the Yakama Nation Behavioral Health Services system of care, increase access to culturally appropriate mental health services, and address trauma, grief, and loss experienced by the target population.
