The Seminole Tribe of Florida was awarded a $114,270 Project Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services program (CFDA 93.958). The grant will support the development and implementation of the Seminole Tribe of Florida Native Connections program, which aims to promote wellness, prevent suicidal behavior and substance use, and increase knowledge and reduce the impact of trauma among Seminole youth up to 24 years old. Key program activities include training Seminole community members and staff to recognize and address suicide risk, delivering targeted intervention programming for identified priority groups (such as teenagers and young adults), and providing greater knowledge of the effects of trauma to the Seminole community. Universal, selective, and indicated prevention strategies will be employed, including educational campaigns, staff training, and the development of community postvention protocols. The grant award will support these comprehensive mental health and substance use prevention efforts within the Seminole Tribe over the 5-year project period from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2029.
