This $1,051,182 Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program will enable the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council (RMTLC) to work with the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians and Urban Indian Health Centers in Montana to develop a comprehensive Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) plan. The plan will provide culturally-informed prevention, harm reduction, and recovery support services to approximately 10,650 American Indian/Alaska Native individuals over the 5-year project period. Key activities include distributing 30,000 units of overdose reversal medications, delivering opioid misuse prevention education to 4,500 youth, and providing workforce development training for project partners to increase their service capacity. The grant aims to address opioid misuse and substance use disorders in tribal communities by integrating evidence-based practices with local indigenous values and practices.
