The Nooksack Indian Tribe was awarded a $750,000 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 grant will fund the Nooksack Opioid Prevention Project, which aims to reduce opioid addiction and prescription painkiller misuse by 50% among the tribe's youth and young adult population of approximately 500. Key activities include providing public education and awareness, building cultural identity through events and activities, and supporting access to treatment, medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and other services. The project will utilize evidence-based curricula such as Healing of the Canoe and Gathering of Native Americans to engage the target population. Over the 5-year grant period, the program plans to reach over 400 unique individuals through these prevention and intervention efforts.
