The Native American Fatherhood And Families Association, Inc. (NAFFA) was awarded a $370,000 Project Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program. The funding will be used to implement the "Transforming Tomorrow" Outpatient Youth/Young Adult Program, which aims to prevent and reduce suicidal behavior, substance misuse, trauma impact, and promote mental health among American Indian youth.

Key program activities include conducting needs assessments, implementing universal prevention strategies, developing postvention protocols, and hosting an annual youth conference to promote spiritual, cultural development, and interconnectedness. The program anticipates serving 200 Native youth in the first year and 350 in the second year, with expanding numbers in subsequent years. The project will be implemented in partnership with the Tulalip, Winnebago, Omaha, and Santee Tribes, and is designed to be a culturally responsive approach to addressing the mental health needs of Native American youth.
